Too much pot and booze in college, not enough women. Not my only mistake, my only regret.

That said, as the circumstances were there's no way it could've been any different. If I'd known then what I know now perhaps I'd be a different person now, and I'm very happy with myself so that's no good.

Most mistakes I've ever made I've learned from, so I'm glad I made them. But they're still mistakes, it's just a matter of context and perspective.

I'm fairly certain the OP did not intend for this to get into an argument over the definition of "mistake," and it's not one I'm getting into either.

I didn't say others should share in my views, only that was how I chose respond to the question. Of all the things open to interpretation, you'd think a thread on life choices would be decidedly fair game.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

I never thought you implied that anyone else should have to think the way you do. The matter at hand is that you said you agreed with someone whose opinion was based on a fabricated definition for a word that was just wrong. I was just curious to know if you agreed that a mistake is inherently something you regret.

I'm assuming you meant that the definition was wrong, and not the word.

It's too bad this thread skewed this way. Think what you will of Peachy and/or his/her opinions, I think there were some interesting points. OOT, however, is probably the wrong place for this.

It is possible to use the wrong words to make the right point.

I think very little of his/her opinions when it comes to changing definitions of words. I think pretty low of anyone's opinion in that regard.

If so, this wasn't it.
