Personally, I rather have had bad parents than growing up in a warzone like many African nations are.


I don't think that's what the OP meant when they put war on the list. I was assuming the thread was excluding obvious extremes/immediate trauma. I may have interpreted it wrong, though.

Well war doesn't exactly impact a child if it is just on the news and has nothing to do with them.

I disagree. I was a child when the whole 9/11 and Iraq War was going on and the news definitely scared me. So much even that I was xenophobic for a while.

You would absolutely be more traumatized if you watched your parents murdered in a combat situation.

I think a lot of people on this board were.
Apparently SWTOR said that I can invite 25 people for a 7 day trial of the game. PM me if interested.

That's besides the point, Bret. Point is, you can be impacted by war as a child even if you aren't experiencing it first hand. That's why I assumed the thread excluded extremes/immediate trauma. If I were to assume war meant first hand experience as a child, then I would also expect gore and blood to mean first hand experience with murder or something similar.

You are correct. I misread the disputed post with an "as much" in there somewhere.

Though, in all fairness, the point of this thread is what is "more" (culminating in "most") dangerous, and simply watching news reports is pretty low on the list.

Very true. Which is why once GojiFan replied to my initial post I figured I may have misinterpreted the purpose of the thread.

spoiling, easily, and Drugs and Alcohol are a close second. Everything else is a part of life you have to deal with, best get started when you're young. Spoiling takes away the desire to sustain yourself, makes you reliant on other people for your life. There was an episode of Scrubs where Elliot says "I was handed everything in life; you guys don't know how lucky you are to have grown up poor." It sounds pathetic, but in a way it's true.
Before it can be filmed, drawn, acted or programed, it must be written.

I blame the time travel in GvsKG91. Every fan from age 9 to 99 has tried to figure it out logically, causing seizures leaving us all brain damaged, violent and intolerant of other's opinions.

I just blame shitty writing for that one. People shouldn't have to try THAT HARD to figure out just what the hell is going on.

So when the Futurians moved Godzillasaurus to the Bering Sea, they essentially removed him from existence, yet he was still created, therefore he still existed and-BOOM!

I would say Religion because that is just getting you in a lot of trouble with the most
people that participate and theyre getting you into their same believes in such (even if its full of lies).

And Drugs and/or Alcohol for obvious reasons.
Unstoppable Fury , Unthinkable Power , Unbreakable Will.
