Young males who base decisions on whether or not they are going to regret it later on are dumb.

[Red]

While I'm a young man myself, 21, I'm sick of talking to college pukes who always try to justify going out and getting hammered, sleeping around, wasting money, and other stupid decisions because they say they don't want to regret not having fun when they are 60 years old.

First of all, that's just a crutch because they know what they are doing is immature and morally unresponsible, so they make up crap about how in 50 years they are going to be crying to themselves that they didn't run around have unprotected sex with as many whores as possible. That's BS! If you're a strong person with goals who tries to self actualize and develop strong values for the rest of your life (family, happiness, etc.) you'll probably not have any regrets. My grandfather in Florida is 89 years old... he is a retired Lt. Colonel from the Air Force and has been married for 60+ years. I'm pretty close with him and he has told me the best things in life to him were truly free... watching his kids grow up, having his wife lay next to him every night for all those years, etc.

I've never heard a happy, responsible, mature adult complain about having any type of regrets. When are college pukes gonna realize that the quest for material accumulation and fleeting happiness is DUMB.

i'm with ya.

Sorry, but you're way too self-righteous. Make your own choices in life. People will always do things that you don't agree with, but no one is interested in why you think you're superior. Also, does being a bit "unresponsible" when you're young preclude you from having a rich, full life? Frankly, you just seem bitter that you aren't having as much fun.

 

[nageov3t]

sorry, I'm with the college pukes.

it's not about going out and getting hammered everynight, but it is about having a good time, whether that good time be from sitting around and playing video games with your friends, or going drinking.

I can't remember what I got on the SAT's, and I definitely don't remember what my final GPA was in high school. But I remember the great times I had with my friends.

In 15 years, I think I'm going to feel the same way about my college life. I'm not going to remember or care about that Theory class that I aced or that Biology presentation that I blew, but I'm always going to have fond memories of the good times I had with my friends.

 

[PingSpike]

I sort of agree with you. But everyone wants to blow off a little steam once and awhile. I still get hammered for the sake of getting hammered sometimes. Last night I'd had a rough day, so I got drunk when I got home. Although I hardly ever do that anymore.

But yeah, I agree they are mostly just wasting there time when they just spend 100% of their free time drinking.

loki8481 makes some good points though. I remember the stupid stuff I did with my friend fondly.

Uh oh, the first defensive young college puke decides to step up to the plate. Where in my post did I explain why I am superior? And you replied to my post, so you've already got some interest invested in it. Choosing to be "unresponsible" at any point in your life is still "unresponsible" and if you think doing "unresponsible" things is what it takes to have fun or make you happy, you've got problems. I'm not bitter at all, I just want to show people like yourself that you can still turn around and straighten yourself up. And don't forget to wear a raincoat!

Yes, I definitely agree with what you're saying. If you're making that decision to relax / play video games / drink because you think later in life you're going to regret, then I'll disagree with you. But if you're doing it because you need to relax, then fine. My rant is targets towards almost every other kid I talk to in college and they always talk about how they wanna bone as many chicks as possible and be wasteful with money, do this and that.... tons of unresponsibility, because they think when they are old they are going to regret not going out and doing all that crap.

 

[StageLeft]

I guess it depends on the severity. Some do grow out of it quickly, and others continue to do it after university and they go from relationship to relationship. Maybe they end up with a child or something along the way too.

 

[Jzero]

So what you are saying is that you aren't being a college puke because you don't want to regret it later on.

Sounds like you are the title character in your own thread.

Hey, whats the point of flipping cars and rioting when your state team wins the NCAA tournament? fsking idiots.

No J, read my post completely. I said that people who have their heads screwed on the right way don't have regrets. As long as I set goals, work hard to accomplish them and maintain my happiness.... win or lose, I'm not going to base decisions on some gamble that in 40 years I'm gonna wish I had lots of random sex.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Life begins after college. You can make the same really bad decisions well into your 30's. Trust me on this one.

No you are simply making the opposite gamble that in 40 years you would regret having lots of random sex.

It's all the same thing. Some people take the over, some people take the under.

I don't think that anyone really does things for the explicit purpose of creating memories and avoiding regrets (well, some things, but not on a regular basis). It may just be that saying that works as a convenient excuse for going out and having fun for no greater reason than because they want to.

Having fun (especially in an academic setting) is sometimes looked down on, so people might feel the need to make excuses for themselves and justify slacking off. I know that a lot of my friends in college did.

I agree with this, at my school there were so many that did the most idiotic things and blamed it on their youth and the desire to have fun...exactly how is damaging someone elses property fun? I never had anything happen to anything of mine, but saw plenty of overturned cars, cars that had a couch rammed through both rear windows, ones that had been lit on fire..etc etc etc.

I also agree that society as a whole is becomming a blameless one, not just college, but so many have the "Cake and eat it too" mentality, where everyone feels they are entitled to everything with no responsability...I loved the "spend mommies money" comment as that is also becomming the norm, especially with the younger generation, plenty of spoiled kids out there...although I know should I become a parent I would be tempted to do the same, hopefully I have the self control not to as it is far easier to silence a kid with money than with work.

 

[SurgicalShark]

What drives each person can entirely different. For you it is fun that you had in college for me it is something different.

Well that really shouldn't be completely blamed on youth. While they do it. They aren't the only
group that riots because of teams winning championships. I don't think it was just youth
rioting in LA during the lakers wins. Though when it comes to youth, alot of the time alcohol is
involved and the decision making goes out the window. Not to justify it, but they aren't the only
ones that participate in that behavior.

Some of us liked getting drunk and screwing every girl possible. And yes, now that I am older I can say I would have regretted not doing it while young. I'm in my 40's and did all that stuff in my 20's. As I look back, I certainly would have regretted not having as much fun as possible. But that goes for any time of my life. The saying is, life is what you make it, and in my younger years I knew I could be irresponsible, while I realized at the same time that in my older years I would have to be more responsible.

So, to all you uptight, anal-retentive fsckwads who think everyone should think like you, go blow yourselves.

I certainly agree with that. I'm from this generation and it seems like they have no respect for other people's stuff since they don't have to work for any of their own. Its frustrating.

You just don't realize how unhealthy, risky, and morally irresponsible that is. However, this is a moral issue so you're entitled to feel however you want. However, the only reason you're glad you did all that crap in your 20s is because you wish you could do it again now. You're clinging on to your youth and just wish you could some more of that young ass, don't you? You need to grow up and get some morals. "In your 40s" isn't too old to start straightening up. Your quote is so true.... life is what you make it... and if you're scraping the bottom of the nostalgic random sex barrel, you need to find out what really makes you happy.
