Thanks for writing this out. If not, I would have had to be the person pointing out how igorant that statement was.

Yes, how ignorant to assume that people's actions are their own responsibility.

Seriously, wtf is going on in this thread. The stupid myspace parents are responsible for making a stupid choice that was intended to make the girl feel bad. It was retarded and cruel and immature. It led to that girl feeling severely depressed immediately after. But what she chose to do with that depression was completely her own doing and had nothing to do with the myspace family.

I paid someone to kill my wife. It led to that assassin wanting to kill my wife. But what he chose to do after he got paid was completely his own doing and had nothing to do with me.

What's your point? That the assassin should not bear responsibility here? Or claiming that legality equates to morality?

I would say the same thing about this scenario as the myspace suicide. The husband is responsible for what he actually did: hiring someone to kill his wife. The assassin is responsible for the actual killing. Both are wrong. There would obviously be legal ramifications here, conspiracy to commit murder and a bunch of other stuff I'm sure.
