Well i for one have done many many things that served no purpose other than for pure enjoyment, vacation, drinking, marrige, sport shooting, golf...
Most people do it to live for the moment and get what they want now. Most people want to find the easy road, the quick fix and the high rate of return... hence why most people are not the stature of gentlemen like brk_nemesis.
As long as you live your life having wieghed out the pro's and con's, taken all neccessary steps (designated driver, life jacket, pct, prenuptuals...) then do it, you live once.
Once again beating your head against the same wall over and over again, not listening to advice or finding new information, is the essence of ignorance.
The bottom line is ignornat people do everything ignornatly and it only becomes an issue when they do somthing that screws you or people you know over. The solution to all of our problems is typically education and an open mind. I am open to know that i cannot change anyone but merely offer advice or a different look at the same thing.
I personally realised that being "big" or "huge" didnt make much sense as my role being a residential care attendant, boyfriens, dad, athlete and role model. But it did, most of the time, make me happy.
