I take full responsibility for Susan's death. I only wish I could have choked her a little with my bare hands before I burned her.
Roland would have understood.
Oh Letti....I posted that just for you.I take full responsibility for Susan's death. I only wish I could have choked her a little with my bare hands before I burned her.
I know how you love Ms. Delgado.
I, like Roland, have the answer to everything.

Agreed. I think that was one death for which Roland bears no responsibility.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I think he bears some responsibility, in the same way that we all bear it for the decisions we make.
He made a choice where she was concerned, just like Jake.

Though the choice with Jake was much more clear cut. Susan was not literally hanging on for dear life with a guarantee of death as one choice. It was more complex than that, and at least partly her own responsibility to protect herself.
I totally agree, I just think he shares it as much as anyone else.
Life is about choices, I think the Dark Tower is too.

i agree, he had a role in her death, though not necessarily a decisive one.
well, it would would be Cordeila and Rhea... sorta, yes they told lies and allowed the people of mejis to burn her.. but.. the word "responsiblity" leaves an amount of uncertainty, however, Roland had absolutly no part in it, he was occupied with Eldred Jonas at the time.
Matt, are we the only ones that blame Roland?
No. The second (chronologically, the first) Roland vote is mine, along with lengthy argument started on page 2 of this thread.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should have a beer together in a pub, guys.
Roland would have understood.
i thought i was among the only ones who didn't blame him in some way.
I've got ka to blame.i thought i was among the only ones who didn't blame him in some way.

I mean...

okay, in fact I mean:
Roland would have understood.
You knew it was coming.
what i mean is, it seems to me that while not everybody picked roland [bc we could only vote for one choice] a lot of people still describe holding roland at least partially responsible. as far as susan's death goes, i hold roland completely blameless.
I'm so glad to know there are at least a few that see it the way I do.
To me, the actual blame is irrelevant because perception is reality and Roland blamed himself. That makes it the only answer imo.

i like when nobody sees it my way, it makes me feel special
in truth, i agree with what you said, as we've discussed before. roland blamed himself and bears the pain of that all the time. i don't believe in "only" answers though. i don't believe in Objective anything [no absolutes]
Well, it would make it the only answer for us.
Certianly not absolute where Roland is concerned. He could perhaps come to grips with his role someday.

But, if you absolutely don't believe in absolutes doesn't that in fact mean you do believe in absolutes?
We really should.You should have a beer together in a pub, guys.I couldn't think of a better evening. Hanging out with DT junkies and drinking. I'm sure the conversations would be awesome. It is a long way, however, between Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Russia and Hungary.
ah but i don't absolutely believe in anything, i just have my suspicions. anything is possible, or isn't it?
But, if you absolutely don't believe in absolutes doesn't that in fact mean you do believe in absolutes?
