Newbie- Take a look back at your life in five years. You'll be amazed at some of the things you did. How many close calls you had and the boldness which you no longer have. Sometimes it takes a slap in the face to realize the stupidity of ones actions. I used to drive everywhere at a 100mph. After a little time on house arrest I stopped doing that. I used to ride a bike religiously in the 150's on public roads, then I hit a patch of mud on the highway doing 130 and slid 700ft. I didn't hit anything solid and walked away. Then took a ride in an ambulance after shock set in from all the missing skin. I don't think anyone is calling you stupid. Just some risks aren't worth the reward and being younger your judgement is clouded. I'm sure in five years I look back at my life now and wonder how I didn't fall prey to darwinism. I'm sure the vast majority of people would agree including me that I was a dumbass on all accounts for being like that.
