Even in Cedar City, we have motorcycle idiots!

What is that old cliche? Goes something like " good judgement comes from experiece. Experience comes from poor judgement".
I think most of us can look back at our younger days and just shake our heads, wondering how we made it through those times when we were 10 ft tall and bullet proof.

But, we knew, when we screwed up, there would be Hell to pay. Today's youth (& many adults) don't think they should be held responsible for their stupid actions!

Made my Guardian Angel work over time.

I think, all of ours had to! LOL

I am not ready to use such a broad brush to paint with. Thanks to today's trend in media, I think we hear mostly about the irrepsonsible ones while the large majority of the reponsible ones go unnoticed, and certainly unheralded.

yeah, the media does let us see more of one than the other. But then you watch what has been happening in Oregon & Minnesota, even older adults thinking that the laws don't apply.

Things have changed a lot since we were kids.

Lots of that to go around, but let's not go down that road. Joe has better things to do.

You can't gain experience if the result of poor judgement is death.

You do need a certain amount of luck as well.

Learn from the Mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself!

Indeed it's cheaper and faster to learn from OPE.
Similar to the idea of using OPM - Other Peoples' Money - this is Other People's Experience.
As @St-Gerard observes, I don't have time in my life to make all the mistakes myself.
I've said that for years upon years, and I'm still learning.
Unfortunately, I'm still making my own mistakes that I try to learn from.

Gee some of us sound like crabby old men that never did anything remotely dangerous or illegal in their entire life or at least want you to think they didn't.

Sometimes you learn from the mistakes of others, and sometimes you are the mistake others learn from.
