What is the worst thing you have ever done? Why is it the worst thing? Do you have excuses and what are they?
What is the worst thing that was ever done to you? Why was it the worst thing? Can you think of any good excuses?
I am curious to see how many people will admit to doing something they think is terrible, and to see how they might minimize it.
Do you think we tend to be blind to the severity of our own misdeeds while never affording any excuse to those that harm us?
It doesn't have to be murder, rob a bank type things, just the worst thing you think you have ever done, why was it bad, and why was it really not THAT bad?
This conversation has gotten quite interesting, Not only do we have the good Sir Detective Shitkicker intending to bring some sense into some rather...elusive subject (AyatollaOfRocknRolla) but also in the scene we have Cephalopod being quite amusing and cheering as well as The man who sold his knees, who's picture continues to make me laught. What the fuck is that,man? haha

"Had sex drunk with a guy I only knew for a few weeks. Obviously, the reason why it was the worse thing speak for themselves."
I once fucked a dude for 3 hours after only knowing him for 6 hours (friend of a friend of a friend). He had hair down to his bellybutton, a Behemoth shirt, Mjolnir necklace, and a sexcellent taste in music, so I guess it's perfectly justifiable.
You're saying a few weeks is bad? We weren't even drunk.
I think that's among the worst I've done and it's not even that bad. Why did I do it?
Well, aside from the fact he was gorgeous and awesome... My friends had been getting dudez at conventions almost every time, and I was beginning to feel a bit left out. I guess I did it almost to "fit in", and regretted it later for that reason. >,<
Worst things done to me? Some physical violence from family members. EDIT: Oh and of course after my mom died, my grandparents changing the locks on my house while my stuff was still in there. Coming back later to find out -all of it- had been donated or thrown out. All my pretty goffy clothes, gone. No one contacted me at all before the liquidation or the lock change.

I may be headed to hell as I took money from a collection plate at church once.
My justification, I needed beer and the church are multi-gazillionaires.
If the church ever sell all their assets so they can feed the poor and pay the third worlds debt then I may be obliged to feel guilt.
See the crafty attempt to minimize by juxtaposition?
I signed up for the military. Was a U.S. soldier, fought a war that I did not believe in. I will live with those who haunt me everytime I close my eyes for the rest of my life.
Killed people.....
Well.. I have my friend's key to her house. She gave me it because when she is somewhere else, I feed her cat. But sometimes, I have checked her personal papers and school books/letters etc. I have also checked my bf's phone without asking him.
I have stolen things from shops(very little things).
After my ex dumped me out of the blue, I met a guy who invited me to a party. We all got drunk, and I slept with a guy I just met. Wound up dating him for a little over a month. He did meth, coke, x... everything. He verbally and emotionally abused me, raped me, manipulated me. After we broke up, I started drinking, smoking pot, and turned into a really shady person. Lost my best friend. Then towards the end of it, lost the rest of my friends. Not a good six months.
Left a guy and ended up living with and than going out with him. I hate that I did that and now I have a second chance to make this right with the previous guy. I left my boyfriend because he would drink to much and act like a complete asshole. Karma was a bitch because the the other guy was more of an asshole and a delusional liar. He pulled a knife of me too and said,"I've killed people better than you,so what makes you think I won't kill you".
What is the worst thing you have ever done?
Well i hung out with my mate and his girlfriend (at the time) and we watched a horror movie at mine on saturday and another horror at his on sunday. So when she was going to make tea she asked my mate to go downstairs cause she was scared to be alone but he was too busy on the pc all night with a on-line game and one time he went to the toilet she whispered that she wanted to kiss me the night before, so i went down instead. When we were waiting on the kettle boiling she said she wanted to kiss me and then leaned in and kissed me for like couple of seconds, i felt guilty straight away but kinda liked it which made me feel worse. Then they split up and she asked if she could come to mine for a shoulder and i said yes and ended up she kissed me again and stayed the night and watched a movie but that was all we did. I know im partly to blame aswell.
Why is it the worst thing?
It was my best friends girlfriend and it was wrong.
Do you have excuses and what are they?
Basically she started it and came onto me. Also got cheated on and got dumped a week before this happened and was lonely.
Icepie, I won't say that is to bad. Apprently,if you broke it off then you weren't happy. That is better than making such a big commitment and then having to get divorced later.
The worst thing I ever done? Threatened my mom many times to kill her while cutting my arms in seriousness.
Reason? Years and years of mental abuse. She isolated me at the house and kept me from going to school since youth, and family told me things all the time like "You're psycho, your crazy." untill I got very violent at 13 and intimidated her to enroll me. I just wanted to go to school to experience a semblance of normal.
My highschool yrs. was hell because, when isolated, you become "socially retarded", even though i was rather quite intelligent in literature and science. Was kept isolated, besides school, for 4 more yrs after that and just fuckin snapped. Since all that i get suicidal thoughts and feelings, though I do intend to make better for myself in the future.
I WILL EXPECT good in my life, whether those freaks like it or not.
Guilty? Mmmmm.... nah.
The worst I've ever was probably fuck up relationships. This was before I was 16. It resulted in the loss of many friends, even friends whos relationships I didn't fuck up.
I have turned a blind eye to many instances of abuse without intervening. I used to work as a guard in a maximum security jail and know that other staff assaulted inmates, deprived them of food and water, appropriate medical attention, etc. While never actually participating directly, I seldom did anything about it.
My reasoning: intervening would make my life potentially unsafe as I'd not be able to count on those same staff members backing me up. After 5ish years I stopped working in the jail because it was too unsavoury.
In nursing I have prolonged the dying and suffring of patients, making their quality of life attrotious. In some ways I can justify this as being in keeping with the wishes of the patient or their family or by acknowledging that the short turm suffering was caused in an attempt to restore health and prolong life ... but sometimes it seems morally heavy. I really do think that if there is a Hell, then there is a special corner reserved for ICU nurses, because we do some of the most horrible things imaginable to people, but with the best of intentions ...

After having already secured my own (and anothers') personal physical security I proceeded to teach someone a lesson about physical force.
By the time I (and the other) were safe the person was on the floor and I, not being satisfied with safety in only the immediate term, waited for them to get to their feet then took both legs from under them with a roundhouse. They got up again and again I landed them on their arse and said "there, how do you like it?". Then I did it again. And then again. At the time I could only really be hurt if caught by surprise or at an inopportune moment so I'm not sure if I was preventing future violence or punishing past violence. To be truthful, at the time my forearms (and my face) were split and bruised through their whole lengths (by bricks, knives, timber etc.) and I was not guided by any deliberate thought but by anger and resentment. I'd just healed a 4 week shiner.
I was raised to believe in the use of the least possible degree of force and I understand the merit in that but at the same time "There's only one language a bully understands".
Now, you may wonder what's so bad about that until I tell you that I am a male and that my attacker was female.
Does that change things?
Sometimes I'm not sure if I did wrong or not. 3 years later I'm still not sure.
Previous to this I had only ever engaged one other (6'8",150Kg.) and that was for trying to hit a girl.
I'm still conflicted on the whole thing.
I lost my temper with a wasp that was pestering me, i hit it to the ground and stamped it's life out before realizing it was a bee. I don't have an excuse, since then i try not to kill or harm any creature.
The worst thing done to me was i was lied to and my good nature and kindness was abused, a friend needed a place to stay, confidence building and money, i took care of him and made him a man again and he ran while owing me 2 grand, sterling. The money isn't the issue, it's the time and thought i and everyone gave him, that was abused.
His character is flawed and he's a weak and feeble human being but that's no excuse.
Do you think we tend to be blind to the severity of our own misdeeds while never affording any excuse to those that harm us?
No. Whether an individual does that or not is reliant on their character and genes and upbringing and surroundings.
My brother is a pathetic creature and lies to himself to avoid admitting his wrong doings, he blames everything on others and the world around him. I am the complete opposite.
1.) Told my mother how much I hated her, the day her own mother passed away
2.) Snuck into a Cemetary after hours, climbed up the flag pole and ripped the US flag from its eternal post over the dead souls - burnt it afew weeks later.
3.) Dated someone from the state of Massachuesetts
4.) Backed ended someone's parked car and severely damaged their rear end, got nervous and sped from the scene. Not a scratch on the vehicle I was driving.... The rest is "none of your fucking business!"
