Biggest regrets in life?

Montroseee

I was a fairly decent rugby player back in my school days but put it on hold during 6th year for the studies. Unlikely I would have ever made a career out of it but really wish I started playing again in college if only for the social aspect.

I'm sure this is quite a minor regret to have in the grand scheme of things but I do think back about the waste of talent.

Anyway enough about me, what are your biggest regrets?

Getting deported from Israel for 'political activism' :rolleyes:

I punched out an IDF member for being a fúcking Zionist bigot & spent 6 weeks in a prison hospital for the kicking his mates gave me :pac:

Not clever to punch a man with an assault rifle. I got detained at Kalandia checkpoint outside Jerusalem for five hours in the heat for telling one to "f*ck off". I wouldn't like to imagine what would happen if I hit one.

Got propositioned by an ugly bespectacled plain girl in college, she took off her glasses and turned out to be beautiful Israeli model and Mossad agent, so i punched her and she hospitalised me by using Krav Maga, have regretted it ever since.

Broken nose, fractured eye socket/cheekbone, lost 3 teeth, 4 busted ribs & a punctured lung (not that I was any poster boy before hand

)

You can get fit in no time, its never to late to start training again.

The difference is that now it's about being healthy, getting fit, losing weight...it's much more enjoyable and less of an uphill climb when your motivation is purely for fun, competition and socialising like when you're a fit teenager!

This addresses this thread. Stick with it until you get past the arty stuff.

Admit it, you don't regret it at all. You're actually quite proud of it?:rolleyes:

Not having lived in New York for at least a year in my 20's.

You know what, you're right?!

Some tooled up, power mad, teenage asshole harrassing/intimidating a bunch of Arab kids for doing nothing more than playing football in the street, in their own neighbourhood, gets a slap off a thick Paddy when he turned his aggression on me for simply asking him what he thought he was achieving by his actions

You be the judge...oh wait, you already have judged me, back at you :rolleyes:

Oorrr... Some terrified kid sent to war doing exactly what he's been ordered to do by one of the strictest army's in the world and getting hassle off some self righteous hipster paddy while he's trying to keep himself alive so he can finish out his conscription and go back to normal life? Tis all about perspective...

Dropping out of animation college. Sure, the place was a ****hole and the people in it were a veritable who's-who of scumbags but if I had stuck to it, I would've had a Bachelor's Degree in Animation and possible be living in England at this point.

I used to regret a lot of stuff. Now when I am older I think I did what I did, rather be sorry for what I did rather than what I didn't do.

I'm not saying a word about whether what you did was good/bad or indifferent. It's just this thread is about regrets. And you seem not to regret doing what you did at all. You seem proud of it - which you're perfectly entitled to be.

I have regrets, mainly around girls I didn't go out with/sleep with when I had opportunity.

All pretty meaningless, I take responsibility for everything Ive ever done, its what made me the a$$hole I am now, and I love me.

If you had any talent, you wouldn't have been playing rugby.

Are you regretting the punching or the kicking

I be proud for standing up for my principles I think , but would be too scared to do anything like that.

I regret not being able to say the things I want to the people that matter to me . .

I regret times when I feel vulnerable and default to doing/saying what is popular/conformist so my real values/thoughts aren't ridiculed .

Not doing the opposite of what my mother said and taking up boxing against her will. Love the sport and I'm 28 now and have done a couple of charity fights but I'm too old to compete now.
