jeremyneas 0 #5 February 28, 2004 YUP, to expand, remember, new ideas and inventions are not found in the box, they are found on the very edge. People that push it day to day keep the technological, economic, social, cultural, political, competitive, and legal enviroments moving forward all the time!!

SarahC07 0 #6 February 28, 2004 I'd like to "YES" with full force.... but It's not true.... Concerning things like drugs and alcohol... many people judge others who choose to involve themselves with alcohol/drugs etc... I'd like to push my limits... but not all the time.... So many things to try and so little time to do it all.... ~Sarah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,400 #7 February 28, 2004 >it`s about pushing limits in ur life (ex-drugs, alchool, sex, sports) Pushing the limits on drugs impresses me as much as pushing the limits on how many of your fingers you can cut off.

TribalTalon 0 #9 February 28, 2004 i agree with this. i've always been a huge risk taker, but the risks i take are calculated and i do them knowing there's a POSSIBILITY things could go horribly wrong. But i'm not stupid enough to do things that WILL go wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So long as you understand the consequences, go for it. If you O.D., get AIDS, cirrhosis, quadraplegic or whatever, that's part of the bargain. Some limits I have no interest in pushing. My romantic interests, for example, are strictly limited to adult females of my species. So long as you don't take anyone else with you, go for it.

Challenging yourself is about abilities and limits - performance if you will. Drugs are about weakness and stupidity. So if this is about pushing stupidity, go ahead - I'm out. (an addict's "alternate reality experiences" is not evolution or insight, it's escape as a function of destroying your body) If it's about being the best athelete or the best thinker or best performer you can be, then yes, all the time. Edit: Billvon said it better in a single sentence.. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
