Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?

Yeah, that one. Care to share with us?

I’ll start. I dated a person, after we had already dated for a very short time, during which I was cheated on and eventually was left for a fourth person.

Yeah, not my brightest moment. And yes, I was cheated on again and again was left for another person.

    I raised my right hand and swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

    That wasn’t my best decision ever, and I kinda knew it while I was doing it.

      I did it twice. I knew for certain the second time around, yet I still did it . Didn’t get me a third time, though. No regrets now, a long time later, but those extra years were hard.

        That’s actually the beginning of the Armed Services oath you take when you join the military here.

        But yes, kids do still say the Pledge of Allegiance in schools. That’s hand on the heart, not raised right hand though. And it also sucks.

          Ah got ya. I think soldiers have to do something similar here in the UK. But we don’t do it in schools. That’s kind of weird if I’m honest.

            Oh, no dude, it’s not kind of weird…

            It’s fucking creepy and bizarre culty shit. And that’s coming from someone who grew up doing it.
