What are you guilty of?
-
Recently I accidentally washed my husband's cell phone. Felt pretty guilty about that until I remember theat it's his responsibility to clear out his pants. I'm guilty of being biased against certain religous and ehtnic groups. I know it's wrong but I find it hard to break the mentality. I'm probably nicer to animals than some people. We used to have a mourning dove in our yard that kept me awake in the morning. Finally bought a sound machine to drown it out.

Yeah, I should have gotten more creative.. Actually, I still feel guilty about it.. eh. Oh well.
This statement is false.

Too numerous to count. But keep in mind, regret is different from guilt, and there are very few things I regret doing, even though I'm guilty of doing them. Marc

There's NO excuse for not commenting your code. -- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh SmithYeah, same here. I don't regret doing much. Especially the bad points in my past that have contributed to who I am now. Without them I'd be someone different.

The kicking cats thread got me thinking. . . What am I guilty of? I can think of one case that causes me guilt in this vein. A mockingbird kept showing up at our place at dawn singing and singing. Now I'm not a morning person so after being woken up for a few days in a row and being forced to get up, I decided to do something about it. I walked outside and started throwing rocks.. all under the assumption that I wouldn't be able to hit the thing anyway. So what does this guy do... flies up to another branch, while still singing and continues to sing and... mock me. Well, I chased it out of that tree and then to another tree... and this time took a good aim.. and wammo! Didn't hit the mockingbird. I hit a sleeping crow. Watched it fall to the ground with a thud. Felt bad for a good week. Although the mockingbird did wait a couple of weeks before returning. But he came back, and I just had to adjust my schedule til he lost interest. So what are you guilty of?
This statement is false.

Well suppose I would (for a brief period (of a few nano-seconds)) if it was accidental but then again crows round us are classified by both us and the government as a pest, destroying crops etc so the more gone the better.
Sig cops got me...

Uh... well, I was a bit frustrated. Wasn't really displaying much in the way of intelligence. The funny part was the bird still singing while flying away from the rock. Definately mocking... ;)

Well, I feel better already. I'm calling on you the next time I feel guilty. Heh. :laugh:

Thanks but no thanks, I have no real desire to visit the US (yeah the scenery might be nice but the hassle of getting in... Jeez if they found out I have 5 firearms & shotguns registered in my name, plus the other three that Dad has on his certificates, can you imagine the bother. God imagine if the authorities found out that I was in the top 5 juniors shooting for Wales, they woulnd't want someone like me in the country would they :suss:).

Actually you'd probably get the open door. Considering your ethnicity. Now hair gel, that would be a different thing altogether.

- two bad marriages, that I participated in. 2) I have hunted a deer, and killed it, though I was aiming to scare it away after I couldn't kill it. One of the great ironies. 3) I have hunted a man. A rapist prowling the apartment complex where I had my first real job (gardener, pool boy, maintenance man, etc.). Unlike the deer, I did not catch him. I followed him right into the arms of the police, I watched as they took him away, and quietly retreated unseen. 4) I have written code without a good design.

When I was 15 I tried shooting bats with a 22. Just can't hit them, and a hawk (I know, detestable, but I was young) and you can't hit them either. I did however succeed at shooting both a dove and a rabbit. Both of which I personally cleaned and ate. They tasted good. But I did feel a little guilty about eating the bird of peace.

Well, at least he was caught. That's good news.

I laughed and spit all over my monitor when I read this. Not because I am into harming animals probably the opposite without being an ARA (animal rights activist). It was sad but hilarious. I would have fallen over on the ground if that had happened to me. What are the odds? OMG, that was a good laugh. Reminds me of teaching my 6 year old to skip rocks. I wasn't paying attention and one wild throw later I got hit pretty solidly in the stomach with a rock that never had a chance of being a "skipper". His aim is getting better but I'm standing back farther. Being behind him still isn't a guarantee...
