Guest lnj Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I have often thought why in our 2o's we feel bullet proof and do the most stupidest, outrageous things, having no thought to consequences?!!!! If you grew up a Christian then I'm not sure this really applies to you....!! I wasn't a Christian in my 20's although I believed in God but when I think back to some of the things I went through and did, I shake my head in utter dismay.....!!

I guess I'd have to say I'm right with you on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have come to the conclusion that they encourage young men (18-25) to join the armed forces or they are drafted because for some reason they really think they can take that hill with fixed bayonets AND YELLING while the enemy shoOts at them with machine guns. If we old guys were drafted we would most likely surround the hill and starve the enemy out. Bottom line - death does not take on a real meaning until you have seen it first hand or been to a few funerals. As a teen I thought I would never die and could do all things - I have grown up some ... PRAISE GOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being drunk and keeping telling my boyfriend to go faster. We ended up going 110 mph. At 17, I drank many shots in a row. I wasn't an alcoholic, just young and very foolish. God kept me around for some reason. Not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletproof... Isn't he a rapper? Dang, wait, thats 50 (cent). But yeah, people do stupid things when they're young, and that does on occasion lead to life threatening situations. Sometimes you need that back part of your brain to smack the more up conscious part and say "No! Bad!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not I, God's mercy on me was enough the first time around. Its a wonder that I'm still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
