From either a totally non-philosophical point of view, or most definitely from a philosophical viewpoint,
what are currently your biggest 2 or 3 regrets in life (whatever your definition of that is) so far and
please elaborate on the reason/s why.
You go first, Baxter.
wanking around in high school
Not holding my ground in a single goal.
You can “fight the power” or you can work within the system. Don’t sit the fence. I was criminal because I refused to accept western justice as a sensible system, but I was too feeble-minded to work toward my rebellious goals. Instead I wander the middle toward subservience. I should have admitted I’d make a bad criminal, then saved up for a car and grabbed some construction, growling at other roughnecks in my way.
…not grabbing one or two amazing opportunities that were handed to me 
Being born. I wish my mother would of aborted me upon birth.
Joker - Why don’t you kill yourself then? I’m not being rude I am actually curious…
Because I lack the suicidal tendency and I am too selfish where instead I am more prone to homicide instead.
( Is too much of a hedonist.)
Fair enough. At least you’re honest enough to admit it. Is this the general nihilistic approach? I would read some Nietzche, but it’s pretty verbose for my standards. Plus, I’m really only looking for this answer…I’ve always been curious.
-
The argument with my parents that left me homeless.
-
Not starting to work out regularly earlier.

sigh Obligatory romantic gesture here.
Not doing those things I should have done.
That I could not carry any fetus other than our only child beyond the first trimester to full term. Miscarriages suck.
That we could not afford to have my womb repaired.
that we could not afford to adopt or be allowed to adopt.
That there is not enough time in life.
allowing myself to fall in love.
Not knowing what I wanted and believing what someone else told me I wanted in terms of relationships. Caused some nasty drama as I was confused. I had no idea how other people felt about it at the time.
Oh well… I’m only 19 so there’s plenty time to make right.
Really, Kriswest, how rich do you have to be to adopt? You mean your wages can’t be a reasonable alternative to some starving African?
And Xunxian- your #1 of shame is my #1 of perhaps my only empowerment.
We have never been able to save any sort of money for lawyers and state. Apparently even though you can give the child food, love and a good healthy environment you need to have some money in the bank saved up. That simple rule and the fact my husband served time as a teen in an adult facility tried as an adult, they frown on that. If it were just the money we possibly could have borrowed it, but that is frowned upon too. An African child? why an African child? The children here in the states need major help. Which is what we do. if you can’t adopt you work with charities that help kids. Food, shelter rehab, reading, education. We might not have them live with us but, that does stop us from being some sort of parental figures.it does not get your arms filled with a sticky loving embrace from a sweet kid. But at least you know you made something a little better.
Taking up smoking. 
Edit: HOORAY FOR 420TH POST! (Green is OK still)
Not sure. Just my personal approach to things, that is all.
Studying philosophy isntead of business.
biggest regret: using the internet
If I didn’t, then i’d probably be at Stanford right now
it’s too distracting
