Timber Loftis hits it on the head. If you don't teach someone that there are consequences, you end up with a very poorly adjusted person. If you fail to teach an entire generation, then you're putting everyone's future in the hands of bumbling idiots who can't take responsibility.

I see it all the time here. It grates on my nerve. I've just got the one left, the rest snapped long ago. If the last one snaps, I'm sure I'll make headlines as some homicidal maniac.

It's a fact that failure is a necessary part of success. Failure is a necessary part of 'progress'. People aren't perfect, and if no one fails, it's because no one is trying. I fail, a lot. The important thing is to learn from failure. I'm probably a borderline Darwin nominee, and having said that: I took apart an electric fan because it stopped working and I wanted to fix it. So there I am, and I get the idea to plug it in and see what's going on or not going on inside the housing to see if I can pinpoint the problem. Well, hey maybe it's this thing... ZAP! Ouch! Okay, that would be a "no". Failure. Let's look elsewhere. Oh, hey look at that, a melted transistor! Bing bing bing! We have a winner! Success.

Not telling people they have failed when clearly they have just breeds whining idiots whose rallying cry is "It's not my fault!"
