Would you please be kind enough to summarize it? The Powers That Be have that site blocked at my work for some reason.

It’s a couple of guys talking about how the Personal Responsibility Movement has gone too far, and how the universe will balance out if we put the blame for our lives back on others. Put the I back in Victim!

I blame the Powers That Be at your workplace.

If it’s a picture or a video or a game I can be guaranteed I’m blocked at work.

Me: Oooh that looks interesting. \<click\>

**Content blocked by your organization.**

Reason: This Websense category is filtered: Illegal or Questionable.  
Which was the specific reason this time.  
Yeah, thanks for leading me there.

Hey, don’t blame me. As I learned from that site, it’s never my fault.

Yip, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, **tdn**. I promise I’ll make it up to you.

I’ve already moved on to taking responsibility for things that aren’t my fault.But then I won’t actually do anything I said

Thanks a bunch **TDN** , now I realise that I’ve been victimised all of my life, and have taken the blame for things that others are resonsible for.

I WAS feeling happy but now thats gone.

And I blame YOU !.
