why don't people take responsibility for what they do?

here is the situation:

I get smashed with my friend, we go back to her place. She embraces violence as much as I do. After drinking and stuff, we decided to [censored] up some of her roomates [censored] since we hate him. We throw a violin out of the window. Turns out the violin was signed by someone and cost a couple of thousand dollars. My immediate thought is, "oh [censored], now we gotta give this dude 2,000 bucks." my friend who broke the thing with me agreed that it is our responsibility. It'll take a few weeks, but we'll pay him back. Now, Almost ALL my friends say I should just pretend we don't know what happned to the violin and that maybe it got stolen. (their 3rd roomate has gay orgies or something and [censored] has been robbed before when he let his [censored] friends in.--so it would be real easy to pretend it wasn't us.) But that is suck bulshit. it is my responsibility and I will admit what I did and pay him back. some people I know actually takethe position that you're not resonsible for what you do when you are drunk.. waht does oot think?

At least you know what really happened to all that [censored] you lost that your friends 'had no idea what happened to it'

I don't understand why you'd pay him back if you were out to destroy his stuff. I think you should pay him back, but it seems like that you've decided you don't care about the value of his things when you throw them out the window.

Edit: Unless you were just planning on paying him back no matter what. But then it seems like an awfully expensive way to have fun. I don't know, everything about your post seems weird to me.

Paying him back is the right thing, but why do the right thing when the original intention was to [censored] him over because you don't like him?

also, I want to point out that this is my responsibility to fix because the roomate did nothing directly wrongto deserve his [censored] being broken-- unlike the cellphone girl in case any of you bring that up. that was deserving and I'm glad I destroyed her [censored]

Evan, Ed,

I feel there's a difference between destroying something insignificant and something collectable that the dude really cares about. (I said violin because I didn't want to say what it really was on here- it's something that could be mistaken for something only worth $50-100 bucks.)

Evan, Clark

I had a lot of whisky tonight

It's funny, as I was reading the post I was thinking, "I wonder what the chances of Clark responding are versus having Tony on ignore and not reading this."
