Originally posted by DJ Chunky That is the most ignorant thing I have ever hear, and without exaggeration. Your telling me that a woman who gets raped during a break-in or someone who gets shot in a drive-by should have done something to avoid it? How about the people in the WTC; was it their RESPONSIBILITY to avoid the situation, and HOW could they "fuck up in some way" to deserve it? Obviously you have not applied your fathers advice in the way he meant it to be received.

Well the WTC is quite obviously not the personal level of crime I'm talking about, although it's pretty obvious someone fucked up as the massive escalation of airport security in the aftermath would indicate.

Do drive by shootings happen for no reason? Can people do nothing about being broken into? If a situation is genuinely beyond your control then you can blame criminality or fate or God. My argument is that people are too quick to say there wasn't anything they can do about it, when the truth is a bit different. As people do in accidents. Someone is almost always responsible. On the grand level of war, international terrorism or natural disasters it's probably safe to say it isn't you.

I've never been broken into, and don't start making any assumptions about who I am and where I live to suit your argument because I can refute that very easily. Although to be honest I shouldn't have used rape as an interchangable example, because there's absolutely no point in trying to talk coldly and objectively about the issue.

I don't really ask advice of other people, and even rarer still would I heed it. I have always either learned things on my own or learned from the consequences of others. I'm not beyond taking my own advice though, and I often find that refining my thought processes in the form of giving other people advice helps me correlate my own aims or experiences.

Or rampantly overused and actually incorrect poker advice.

once someone told me about the drugs


wish i didn't hear him then

best piece of sage advice I can remember hearing in the last 5 years or so is this: everything is negotiable.
