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

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.

Why don't you go take your moral crap back to church where it belongs?

His last post actually circumvented morals, if you'd have read it

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.

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.

To a certain degree... I agree. There are a lot of kids that think they are entitled to anything and everything--and I wholeheartedly disagree with that (I'm 25, btw). Don't forget there are some "kids" who work hard and do their best.

As a counterpoint (I love playing devil's advocate), the "parents" of these "kids" are the ones who made a corporate environment completely hostile to employees, made layoffs the norm instead of the exception, and have given them the "everything for a buck" mentality. Company loyalty (employer to employee, as well as vice versa) was the standard 30 years ago.... but nonexistent now. These "kids" either had the parents in upper management who made this the standard--or saw how their parents were treated by upper management... and hence, have no loyalty to their employer. I think, rightfully so, this is why you see so much job-hopping now. Of course, that may be what it takes to show employers that the employees will screw them at every possible moment, just like the "kids" have seen happen to their parents.

hahah....owned!!!
and i disagree with OP. although i didnt go thru college trying to bone as many chicks as possible, i did go oout drinking with my friends...got hammered and did stupid $hit. it was all fun! and college is the time to do it cuz u dont really get a chance to do it later on in life. think about it...when in your life are you going to live in the same building with 100 kids your age?! not doing these stuff in college is missing out on the college experience and the fun. im a college graduate and im glad i lived my college life to its fullest cuz i'll never do those stuff again in my life. i have too many responsibilities now...and i've kinda grown out of "drinking to get hammered" phase.

OP, realize that not everybody is the same...and you shouldnt try to judge them just cuz they find partying and being irresponsible fun.

PS...im not condoning rioting or slipping date rape drugs in girls' drinks. i never did that. im talkin about good clean fun like peeing off the roof of a 10 story building...or getting drunk and passing out under the tree, being picked up by an ambulance, waking up en route to the hospital and booking it as soon as the EMTs open the ambulance doors (i was underage at that time and didnt want to get in trouble wiht the police)

Well, re-read this guy's post. I get no impression whatsoever that he misses his youth, or wishes he could get more of that young ass.

Just let people live their lives however they want to live them. Who cares if they're being "morally unresponsible" by your standards. I know I don't give a damn what your standards are, and neither do the people you're complaining about...they're too busy enjoying their lives. The only person in this thread that sounds bitter or self-righteous is you.

How about this for a life strategy: pay more attention to yourself, and less to others. You're never going to fully agree with everyone around you; but if you continually complain about how other people are leading their lives, then you'll end up missing out on your own.

It's greed, quite simply. America is embracing it more than ever before, and it's a dead-alley if one is looking for happiness. All it will leave one is a fat, unhealthy blithering baffoon consumed by lust without a principle to stand on or anything to be proud of beyond what sits in their driveway.

Now I have a wife and family and am quite content to be working for myself, about 20 to 30 hours a week, and living in Cancun enjoying my life, as I've always enjoyed my life. I've achieved my goals you self-righteous moron and I've always enjoyed my life to the fullest along the way.

Absolutely! I 100% agree. The "Woodstock" generation likes to point out how great things were in the 60s when they were teenagers--but they don't like pointed out to them that the current corporate environment is due to their greed. And they're passing this greed on to their kids. There are good people in every generation... but on average, we've seen it get worse and worse. Of course, it will be interesting to see when I'm 50 how things turn out--the current generation is the first one that will probably be WORSE off than their parents.

Of course, I personally feel that the current corporate environment really prohibits anyone from doing what they "want" to do in terms of a job. With no assurance of a job six months from now--even if you're doing it well!--people can't "plan" like they used to. Of course, I'm trying to "sidestep" the corporate environment (at a substantial paycut) to become a professor.... but I'm seeing more and more corporate-like greed even in the academic sector (but that's a whole different story).

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not bitter and I really don't give a crap about other people, I'm simply ranting about the poor attitude younger, immature people have about being carefree. Aharami, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pointing you out, but I am YOU are the person who decides how happy you are...not the carefree actions you do or not do. However, I think it's morally irresponsible / unresponsible (both words are acceptable here, I believe) to drink underage and also have an ambulence come out for something like that... as well as pissing off the building. That one is no biggy as long as you didn't piss on anything besides the ground and as long as your dick wasn't in public view, because then your carefreeness is getting in the way of other peoples right to not have to deal with piss coming off a building

Don't be so defensive, I'm not calling you names and I don't want this boil down to that level. Once again, YOU MAKE YOU HAPPY.... not the things you do. Happiness is relative. If you've decided that living on the beach, sipping pina coladas and spending time with your family makes you happy, that's great, and I'd actually agree with you on that. However, YOU could also be just as happy living in Minnesota ice fishing or doing something else. I'm glad you enjoyed life, but you don't have to be living a carefree life of drinking and sleeping around to be happy... and you don't have to have regrets. That's the whole point of my post... is that young people justify making stupid decisions on their youth and they somehow magically know that in 20 years they would "probably" regret life if they weren't making unresponisble decisions while they are young. That's ignorant.

Personally, if I were to regret anything, I would regret being irresponsible, not the other way around. People try to justify acting like idiots and it makes me rant =)

 

[Aharami]

red, you sound like a 40 year old. stop giving such a crap about what others do and care about your life...or your girl's life. who cares if they mess up their lives...its their problem...not your

and enjoy your life a little man. you're never gonna be 21 again. im not saying go out, get drunk and vandalize others property...cuz THAT's being irresponsible and is wrong. but if you are holding yourself back from going out, drinking and having fun just cuz you dont want to be categorized as those irresponsible "college pukes," then you are missing out man. go out have fun...but keep it clean...ya know

 

[Red]

first You say that like it is a bad thing. Second it is clear you are just jealous that you can't or won't get to sleep around and get drunk.

Oh yes, it's so clear that I'm jealous of sleeping around or getting drunk... look at all of my posts in this thread and just look how jealous I am I can't have random sex. I've been with multiple partners in my life and I drink socially. I just don't make really poor decisions or act like an idiot and blame it on the possibility of "future regrets".

Ostensibly, you lack the maturity and intelligence to make a decent argument in this thread, so my advice would be to stay out before you get owned some more.

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 agree and disagree with you.

Sleeping around is one thing, however unprotected sex with random people is a completely other.
If an unattached person wants to have protected sex with someone I see no problem. And if they
do it every night I still see no problem, as long as its protected sex. Once its not its highly irresponsible.

And going out and getting hammered, I mean, if its every night you might have a problem but if its
just on the weekends, what is the big deal. Whats the problem with going out and having fun.
As long as were not talking about driving drunk, because like unprotected sex, highly irresponsible.

While your grandfather makes great points, he is a bad example simply for the reason of the time his
generation grew up is completely different than ours. He grew up during the great depression and while
he was in his 20's WW2 was going on. So he is going to have alot more perspective than the rest of us.
Not to mention the cultural differences between then and now are huge. While its unfortunately, but
what his generation valued for happiness and what ours and our parents view is very different.

Also you make about point about happy people with no regrets. Well what about the portion of the
population that isn't happy. What about them. They exist. Most happy people aren't going to regret
anything, they are happy. There are those who are unhappy and some of them end up having a
mid-life crisis. Something that really came out of our parents generation. What about those people.
I'm not saying that partying while young would solve that problem, but obviously their regrets came
from somewhere.

Now I will say this. When your in college, most people are half adult/half kid. You have responsiblities, but they aren't huge. However once your done with college, you will have much larger responsiblities to
worry about. You can skip a college class, trying skipping days at work. Once you enter the real world,
you are going to be full of responsiblity. And I think most college kids know this, and because of this
they take those opportunities to act like a child again.

Also to your last comment. I think you need to drop college punks from the line, because that
sentence can be used for much of the population, including those out of college by a long shot.
But then again, thats how alot of us were brought up. Your 21, and I look at your sig.
Do you like your car? Couldn't you just as easily drive another cheaper car. Why did you buy it?
Isn't that a material accumulation?

Also as far as wasting money goes. Many peoples ideas of what wasting money is is different.
Some think buying a nice new car is a waste of money, some think making sure you have a nice
computer is a waste of money. etc.

I don't see how it's any worse than you trying to justify passing judgement on others. You obviously view yourself as dwelling on the moral high ground and therefore qualified to opine at length on how others choose to live their lives. You've made several of these threads where you're essentially preaching about how Activity X is wrong and will ruin one's life, and how people engaging in this activity are dumb, and on and on and on. Interestingly, you don't seem to apply this same scrutiny to your own life and relationships and almost had your engagement dissolve as a result.

I think you need to put the soapbox away permanently. It's really getting old.

 

[jman19]

Hey Red, why do you care so much what other people choose to do with their lives? I find it pretty funny that you seem to "know it all" yet you're still in college yourself. It's really none of your business how other people choose to live.

I do fully enjoy my life Aharami I don't hold myself back at all... I drink, have fun with my fiance, and have fun with my friends. I'm only saying, once again, that I'm sick of hearing the youth justify carelessness. You can't justify irresponsibility.

I find happiness and peace of mind spending time with friends, family and my fiancee. I am an ethical person who tried to maintain integrity, so I choose to do or not do things based on my character. I don't think its acceptable to get drink and piss all over someones couch or flip or cars or do things that would intrude on anyone elses property or wellbeing. And people can do what they want as long as they obey the law and try to have some responsibility / morality, just don't blame your faults on "I'm young, im in college... its no big deal, i'll be old one day and hate myself if I didnt go out and get plastered and catch that car and fire and put it in that girls butt." or whatever

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

Fact is most 20 somethings aren't mature enough to have a clue what is & isn't important. The things they think they'll regret missing won't matter in 10 years, & the things they didn't care about will haunt them.

Red

It's part of life. There will always be a few who learn from those before them, the rest have to learn the hard way.

The problem isn't how they are making their choices, it's the experience/knowledge/maturity with which they decide their priorities.

BTW, everyone makes some bad decisions. You're not exempt from that. A lot of people here advised against the purchase of your Infiniti.

See, this is where you're wrong. Some of us did know exactly what we were doing. Some of us did "magically" realize that we would regret not taking advantage of being irresponsible during a time when we could be irresponsible. The 20's are the times when you can make mistakes and be irresponsible and still catch up and get to where you need to be later in life. Some of us liked taking that road and would have regretted it if we hadn't. It's not a road that everyone should take, but some of us are quite capable of taking it and it is the "right" thing for us. Just because it's not right for you, don't think it's not right for everyone. Thinking that everyone fits into the same pigeonhole or everyone should follow the same specific path, that's ignorant.

What you don't get is that some people can realize that if they don't work hard and do the "right" things, they will regret it; and by the same token, other people can realize that if they don't fsck off when they have the chance, they will regret it later. Not everyone is cut from the same cloth. And no, I wouldn't be happy ice-fishing in Minnesota; that's what my brother does, exactly that, and although he also has a good life for himself, I wouldn't want to be him.

 

[GasX]

to paraphrase Robin Williams, if you remember college, you weren't there...

 

Gee, I bet church every sunday is fun too right?
Why can't you justify irresponsibility?

What about say, free soul hippish type people who have given up everything to travel around the world? Is that irresponsible?
What if you don't believe in the whole American dream? Is that irresponsible?
Is it irresponsible to live differently than you?
What is wrong with being carefree when you're young. Thats THE TIME to do it.

Now, you say obeying the law. What if I want to smoke joints and go urban bouldering?(climbing buildings) What if I want to sit in a national park and smoke joints with my friend or girlfriend and enjoy the day? Is that irresponsible? It's not legal!

At 21 you arn't very far removed from college pukes at all.

I'm guessing you're going to have a killer mid-life crisis. Getting a wife and kids in your 20s, having the house and the car. Someday you might realize that the american dream destroys your soul. Or mabey you will never wake up to that fact. Or mabey you will just never care.

Hrmm, well I played golf when I was in the Caribbean a few weeks ago. It was $90 to play one round and I was kind of broke at that point. That's a lot to play one round of golf anyway but I figured I might regret it later in life if I didn't play there because there might not be another chance. So, I played.

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!

Condescending to strangers after making terrible assumptions about them is clearly responsible behavior. I realize you probably believe you've offered some geniune insights in this thread, but all I see is self-righteous posturing.

If YOU MAKES YOU HAPPY, why are you judging others on what they have done, or what they plan to do? Because we all don't share your porn is wrong, going out and having fun other than playing ping pong view? What you view as atrocious and despicable is fun to 99% of people our age. I enjoy going out and having a good time. 20 years from now, I'd regret not going out doing those things more than I would doing it.
