The last line is incorrect. I am saying, "One cannot argue that any individual, anywhere, bears 0% responsibility for his circumstances."

Ty will cite in response scenarios in which someone is murdered, hit by a car, etc. So yes, there are come discrete instances in which a person has 0% responsibility. But barring extreme events like that, every person owns a percentage of responsibility for where he finds himself.

To argue otherwise effectively creates a man free of obligation of any kind -- not at all responsible for any of his acts.
