Yeah, but its still outright stupid behavior, no matter how you wrap it. And stupidity will always be punished eventually in this world (which is the only way to 'fight' it, since as we know its endless and unlimited in mankind).
'I saved 5 minutes (or half an hour, who cares) so I can die 30 years younger than I had to, yeeehaaa'. Lack of good education, or intelligence, or both.
- lenerdenator 3y ago> Lack of good education, or intelligence, or both. Is it? You can sum up most of a Wharton MBA with "gamble until it bites you in the ass". The only difference is, the guy with the Wharton MBA gets to pawn his mistakes off on the guy who's actually doing the work, thus evading your punishment for stupidity.
- jajko 3y agoIf you are an alcoholic, there is no gamble, you will ruin your life and lives of people around you and die early and most probably miserably, period. Same with say smoking cigarettes, still a popular addiction of poorer folks all around the world. It goes much deeper - children of drug abusers, be it legal or illegal, tend to very closely repeat their parent's mistakes also in this aspect, vicious circle that takes a strong personality and probably some luck to step out of. I consider it an utter failure as a parent, no nicer way around this.
