Really many great answers on here i dont know which one to choose as MHO 😭so difficult. i will choose the one with most likes. So please like the answer u think is the best and i will choose it as MHO

[Telekinetic-Potato]

That you have plenty of time as a kid.

You absolutely do not have plenty of time. That's not to say you need to rush through life.

I mean your early 20's are a very important time. Your mid 20's is a time that is also very important.

If you want a family, grandkids, wealth. You should make sure you got your shit together by 30.

Learn how to talk to the opposite gender. Don't waste weekend after weekend.

Learn to interview and jump to better jobs, experiment. Don't waste your mid 20's working somewhere that's not very seriously considering promoting you. Build momentum.

Throw some money into the stock market, buy a snowboard, go on a trip with strangers, fall in and out of love, make moves.

Because you don't have unlimited time and it's important to value your time very highly.

[Meropatrick]

This is so true

[Tomisworthless]

Im 30 .. Fuak lol oh well Jesus saves

[Meropatrick]

@Tomisworthless i have 6 and half years to be 30 😭and i can't figure out life yet. And i dont think i will at 30

[Saramad_Hill]

While I'm not going to dispute how people are able to move forward in life or even attempt to build a legacy, plenty of people are shackled by depression, trauma, addiction, etc.

And it's not like they're choosing that, sometimes life deals you a bad hand and you have to deal with it. Everyone is not capable of the same levels of success, and the family you're born to matters, unless you find a way to run away and live in another state and rebuild from the ground up, there.

As a thirty year old, I don't feel I've made any progress at all since I started working. My money was spent helping my family, swapping through bad vehicles (currently paying on one again) and generally... I just never felt like trying for anything better.

Even the love life has been less than stellar, but I also feel times are just different now and finding partners is a game for the confident. I think living is hard, so existing as peacefully as I can like a sedentary rock has been my go-to move for the longest time now. I'm not built for success, and learning to accept that time moves fast whether you have fun/success or not hasn't been an easy one. The less stressed I am the more I feel I've won against a tough world.

[Tomisworthless]

@Saramad_Hill Keep your oppressive propaganda to yourself, you government spy

[Saramad_Hill]

Sure, sure. I'm glad you think I have enough credentials to get a job like that, though, lol. I wonder what they get paid, anyway... hmm. Not sure I'd pass the interview or even go for one.

[Tomisworthless]

@Saramad_Hill you're not fooling me buddy.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I have (exactly as of today, Oct.6) eight years and nine months before turning eighty.

[Meropatrick]

@beefcakebradybatson how old were u when u started to figure our ur life. I think in ur 20s and 30s life was easier the now

[Meropatrick]

*your life

[beefcakebradybatson]

In some ways, because people were MUCH smarter than today.(I was in my twenties from July 6,1973 to July 5,1983 and my thirties from July 6,1983 to July 5,1993).

[Meropatrick]

@beefcakebradybatson yes people then were much less brainwashed and more connected to their instinct and brain and rationality. Nowadays we are not allowed to do that. Or think for your self. I think i was born in the wrong era😭

[loveslongnails]

Most of what I was taught in American History was a lie.
That our legal system is fair, just, unbiased and non-prejudicial.
That prisons are there to "rehabilitate" all but the most dangerous criminals, and they're "not for profit".

[SixFootSexy]

The government has your best interests in mind and taxation is not theft.

Humans are basically good, they just need properly "trained."

Gender is a social construct.

Abortion isn't murder.

Ignorance is strength.

War is peace.

All animals are created equal.

The CIA isn't involved in ALL kinds of nefarious stuff worldwide you would never agree to as a normal human being.

Humans evolved from primordial goo.

History is a linear - progressive path from the stone age into the space age and beyond - we still have no clue who or how they built the pyramids and several other advanced structures around the world.

[ManOnFire]

As a man you lose sexual energy and interest as you age.

Men care about looks more than women do.

America is the richest nation in the world.

"You're never too late to..."
- This is a huge lie. There is a such thing as losing time and missing an opportunity. There is a such thing as losing that moment.

[DrPepper12]

Do life achievements in order
College, career, move out, start saving, engage, marry, buy house, new friends, neighbors & coworkers in life, have kids, focus on career, focus on kids, retire, empty nest, etc

There is no acceptable order to life! Don't believe the hype and do what YOU want - it's a one way trip & no do overs.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You say religion hasn’t told lies but that’s really the only experience where I’ve been lied to. Lied to that I wouldn’t be loved by God if I didn’t take the sacrament because I hated drinking grape juice as a kid, lied to that the church is full of people I can trust, lied to that the church is the best and only way to live one’s life, lied to that I would have to die for God if a gun was put to my head and that was a good thing. It’s pretty fucked up.

[Meropatrick]

I didn't say religion hasn't told lies. Please read the question again. I said i didn't want to hear this repeated answer because many people on here answer saying religion. I want new answers

[Tomisworthless]

You expect a man to die for you but you wouldn't die for Christ. Its okay God already knew who you would be before you were

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You gotta be okay with the most common answers if you know it’s coming

[Meropatrick]

@cupcakethedestroyer I am Ok With any answers that dont put words in my mouth that i didn't state. anything like that is irrelevent. Again i didn't say religions didn't state lies.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Dude this was a week ago, you still care?

[AviatorTom]

Since a young age, I was told that Pluto is a planet, and then someone changed their mind.

[Jersey2]

That Democrats are the party of tolerance. They are truly hateful and completely intolerant of opposing views.

[beefcakebradybatson]

And the REPIGLIKSCAM are FAR WORSE;they are intolerant of non-cisgender straight white men !!!

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson what would you know anyway.

[beefcakebradybatson]

A lot more than you, pardner;I'm a 71-year-old black man with LOTS of experience battling racism from dull-normal, ugly white folk !!!

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson yes yes. You’ve said before. Are you also Canadian?

So “ugly white folk!!!” But you aren’t racist? Or prejudiced? Or biased? You’re a nobody. Sit down.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Screw you, tard. and I'm half-American and half-Canadian. If I'm a zero, you're about minus fifty, boyo !!!

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson what an idiot.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Takes one to know one, boyo !!!

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson no, I exceed you in ever category… I don’t even have to know you to be certain of that. You are simply not top tier, not 1%, not a winner. Go back to your little life trying to get people to believe that you lived through struggles when you didn’t. The average young white guy today faces far more discrimination than you ever did.

[beefcakebradybatson]

You're as full of ish as a Christmas turkey. What "White and Colored" signs have YOU seen, how 'bout being forced to sit at the back of a bus, or having your wife or daughter by a nasty white POS while you could be lynched for eyeing a white broad , among other historical and present oppressions which have been visited upon us and still are except via Esq. James Crow instead of the Jim Crow of yore? (Look it up, boyo, assuming you can read something other than KKK tracts). You and your kind behave like whiny b***he's and wonder why you're nearly universally loathed and scorned.

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson historical. You didn’t experience that. Today white guys are forced to give up their place in college, jobs, promotions for less qualified black people just because of their skin colors. Thats it. The only criteria. Poor fragile, uncompetitive, ignorant, low IQ, black people. I say low IQ because they are taking anyone that is black, not just the top 10-20%. Low IQ.

[beefcakebradybatson]

You're FOS, boyo. Why don't you tell me your birthday so I can buy you a nice fitted white sheet and hood? (When was your last cross burning, Billy Bob?) Mr. and Mrs. Obama and Kamala Harris, to say nothing of Cornel West, a Harvard professor, have a hundred times more brains in their a** [as does Yours Truly] than you have in your head. (By the way, I didn't know David Duke posts here!!!)

[Jersey2]

@beefcakebradybatson Is that what you have… some incoherent ramblings? Yeah, figures. Obama was raised by white people. Did you know? His mom’s parents. She was white and brought the good DNA along with grandparents that raised him right. His black father? Well he abandoned them of course when Barack was very young. How stereotypical. The failings in the black community are not caused by white men. They are caused by black men, black fathers who abandon their family. Baby Daddy’s they are called today. That is the source of the pain in the black community, black men, like you.

[andreasderjuengere]

The typical lies begin with
"you can trust me"
and
"no problem"
:)

[Meropatrick]

Lol so accurate.

[paledreams]

That there aren't potentially puppet masters who rule the world lol 😂😆 or its sci fi lol 😆

[paledreams]

And why no one mentions unless one looks into it, lol google, that ", registered political lobbyists" exist

[Meropatrick]

Even google is owned by them. Google doesn't give u the right answers. It gives u the answers they want u to find

[paledreams]

And google knows best - we must, worship google. We, must - love google 😋😋😋😋😍🥰🥰😍 did I mention, love google. Love google 😏

[SweetPi]

Politics can do things for us! They just sign laws that make things harder and more complicated.

They don't fix issues!

[Flower7]

College is necessary for having a good future.

[LiamJHayden]

The government is there to help.
Nice guys finish last.
If you don't get a degree you'll be stuck in a low-paying job.

[Seinna]

90% of what you hear in mainstream media.

80% of history schoolbooks.

50% of science, especially medicine.

100% of space-related science. NASA - all lies.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Well people keep telling me souls exist, and thats a lie.

[TatteredAngel]

The statement that there’s more to being beautiful than what’s on the outside. That inner beauty is all anyone ever notices, or falls for.

[Unit1]

You'll get rich if you study IT and work in IT.

I sleep on a mattress on the floor with 10 years of experience in software engineering

[Crazzyyworld]

This website is total BS. They delete anything other than sex money and shit.

[JoeRob67]

To many to count. I get lied to everyday. Especially on social media and here as well.

[Sparking4th]

The biggest lie I ever heard in my life is that Hunter Biden's laptop was just a Russia hoax. It turned out that it wasn't just a Russia hoax.

[bobby_bush_eater]

20s are a time to spend and have fun.

[onedarkcloud]

The Democrats are for the people!

[Tomisworthless]

Not aware of any

[beefcakebradybatson]

Blacks are dumb, smelly and lazy !!!
