[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ravi's upbringing may have had something to do with what he did, but blaming his parents for what he did doesn't make sense to me. [b]He's a grown up,[/b] he's responsible for what he did.

By the same token, my parents, who raised me in a violent and abusive home, don't get credit because I'm neither violent nor abusive. As an adult I'm 100% responsible for being a constructive member of my community - if I weren't, I'd be entirely responsible for that, too.[/quote]

This is debatable.  He was 3 weeks into his freshman year of college and his first experience living on his own.  Before that he'd had everything handed to him his entire life and had little experience outside of his own upper-middle-class bubble.  Yes he was legally an adult, but he was still very much a product of his upbringing.  This is different from someone who has lived on their own, supported themselves, and had the chance to experience the world and develop their own value system, which I assume you have.  Ravi is the one going to prison, of course, because he is ultimately responsible, but I absolutely think that with different parents he could have been a much better person.    [/quote]
