Aut disce, aut discede, manet sors tertia caedi

Well, the time has come for a self-administered beating.

Was bad enough. But then I followed it up with this:

I have to admit I've got a lot of egg on my face. I'm going to ask htpcl 's possum to lick it off me. Have any of the rest of the folk on here got things that upon reflection, or with subsequent information, wished they hadn't written; or positions they wish they hadn't backed?

If we're to regret having held positions and views in the past then we'd probably quit having an opinion at some point. So I prefer to rather be prepared to do mistakes in my judgment if that's the price to pay for searching and learning new things all the time, and getting my only two brain cells ticking in the process. So I don't regret being constantly wrong. What I'm scared of is to not become intellectually lazy and start taking things for granted without putting them to the test of my own skepticism.

And my possum loves egg!

Yeah but don't tell me now that you didn't smirk secretly to yourself when you saw yourself proven right in this story! :)

I didn't. My possum did. And not secretly.

A ridiculous character (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH7JVxMcY9s) from a popular TV show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavi%27s_Show) here. Symbolizes the typical village idiot.

Caption says: "Hey, where's my bro?"

Most of these icons are with TV comedic characters.

Me loves possums.
