Something more than a few people I know should read

The first casualty of war is truth. The first casualty of WoWarcraft is sometimes a relationship.

Weakwilled and immature ... don't forget immature. Too immature to know what could be lost. *nod*

True true.

If with maturity comes thinking through the consequences of one's actions, and a little moderation, then a little maturity would definitely win out.

Damned right. Moderation is so damned right. *sigh* How on earth do you teach people that?

Maybe a failed marriage because of something as trivial as a compulsive addiction to a certain online game?

Perhaps Our Resident Hermit will have some French advice on that thorny philosophical problem. :p

People do learn fastest by making mistakes, it's true.

As a counter example, a failed marriage because of a compulsive addiction to a certain fermented liquid?

But the damage, oh god the damage ... funny how strong that impulse is to try save someone from making a mistake that will blight years of their life. Argh.

Tell me the only right way is to let people make their own mistakes, no matter how big.

Dude, preaching to the choir's child here.

Just the fastest way, not the only way, and it doesn't work so well for some things (e.g. "that mushroom's poisonous"). Still, if someone's so messed up that they'd rather game than be with their wife either the relationship is fucked or they are . . .

Sucky position to be in, watching, knowing there's really not much you can do to save them from themselves.

Well said, well said. *nods*
