You can't argue with crazy. In fact, if you're that desperate for crazy to validate reality for you, you have deeper problems.

Oh also if you help a family member who's threatening to kill themselves, they're just gonna threaten that every time they need $5.

Understand that people will come and go in your life. For better or for worse.

Just because you've known somebody most of your life don't assume you know anything about them. They can surprise you, for better or for worse. And for my experience it's generally for the worse.

People change and sometimes it's best to just let go.

If you had a chance to get laid as a teen DO IT. Or you'll regret it, especially if you never get the chance as an adult.

I'm willing to bet that there are millions of teen parents who would have a different view of this. The problem is that teens often don't have access to birth control, or are manipulated, or plain stupid because their brains haven't finished developing yet.

I'm sure that some people would have regrets about not getting laid as teens. But it's hardly a hard and fast rule.

No offense to the guy, but looking at his post history, I don't think if this is thoroughly tested advice....

Weapons are a human right, completely independent of anything about rebellions or keeping the government in check.

Individually, if you prevent a person from carrying a weapon when they’re in a dangerous situation, it’s like locking them into a cage with a hungry tiger in it.

It’s perfectly natural for a person to be able to reach out and pick up a weapon. To block someone from this takes active effort.

And if that person is in a dangerous situation, and you make that effort to prevent them from being armed, you’re actively violating their rights.
