You should not mix increased health risk with stupidity. Just because some people forget thier kids in cars and they suffocate from it does not mean that using cars to drive your kids around is deadly. i have refurnished 4 homes and never once had an accident, because i dont try to do it "The stupid way". same goes for car drivers, almost all accidents happen because of stupid drivers (statistically almost 99% of accidents are due to drivers fault and others are mechanical failures, out of which majority is either drunk or speeding). I didnt mention contraceptive pills, so why you bring them in?MetalMagpie said:
non professional sport and sport that does not lead to injury is different thing. some people take it much too far. yes it is wrong to wreck your body by overtraining. and yes i say it and listen to me you vassals you. ok back to serious.
it is moderation in life that counts, not extremes, and that applies to both quantity and quality. living in countryside improves your risk to many factors (such as robbery murder) so that isnt really a "escape". Since i support public transport system i rarely use car and instead use buses to travel around, which is much safer than cars in case of accidents. i dont plan to have children, ever. I dont drink, ever. its not because im "afraid" though, its because i dont like it. but i do think people who get drunk so they cant even walk are pants-on retarded.
your whole point really is moot. If your afraid of meteorite hitting te earth stop living now is the extreme your using.
Personally, I dislike statements like that, it's just stating the obvious and acts a "rallying call" of sorts for young, impressionable people to do unintelligent things.
I think this Twitter post by Jack Black sums up "YOLO" perfectly.

I cried a little when I read this; such is the beauty of this post.MetalMagpie said:Strazdas said:If you try to live your life avoiding anything that might lose you precious months off your lifespan, you're missing the point. There's very little in life that's worth doing that doesn't (in one way or another) shorten your lifespan. Having children, playing sport, living in a city, eating burgers, and doing DIY all shorten your lifespan (or otherwise impair you in later life).Starik20X6 said:
Maybe doing drugs (or playing sport, or having children) isn't your thing. Everyone has a different level of risk they're happy with in their life. And nobody's level is "wrong".
I don't do drugs. I do get wasted on alcohol (occasionally), eat ridiculous volumes of cake (very occasionally), and have casual flings (though not since getting together with my boyfriend). I spend the vast majority of my waking hours wearing out my eyes staring at a computer screen, and about four hours a week slowly wrecking my knees at fencing training/competitions.
I will mostly likely be long-sighted with two dodgy knees by the time I'm thirty-five. And the amount I travel means I probably have a higher-than average chance of getting killed in a car/train/plane crash. But I honestly couldn't care less.
I'd rather die at 50 with an exciting life to look back on, than die at 100 with nothing but regrets for what I missed.
Because you only live once.
Back on topic, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "You Only Live Once" as anything other than a joke.
Maybe all of you who keep hearing it shouldn't associate with people who annoy you with their odd habits and cliched sayings.
You only live once, after all, so why spend that time being annoyed?
Eh, people can conduct their life however they want. If they've only got one shot at life and they do it studying to improve the human race all the way to the grave or shooting up on heroine for their own personal benefit then that's their decision.
The underlying idea is to do what you want because you only get the one chance to do it - not how or why you should do it.
Maybe I'm just too apathetic, but buzzwords don't get to me that much.

I have no idea about all these fads among young people and I don't really care either, they can use it as some sort of "party on" catchphrase as much as they want, no skin off my nose. Never heard of it being a "thing" before this thread.
As far as "using it as an excuse" goes, people don't need a 4 word catchphrase to do things they want, they'll just do it, people were partying before this came along, the phrase is incidental. To them it means "might as well do what you enjoy", which is what they are doing.

To be quite honest its a self-destroying phrase:
If they stopped to think about the idea about living only once they may comprehend that once dead none of what they do will have mattered at all, the only possible solution is to dedicate your life to creating an immortality serum which will be pointless because being immortal at age 82 ain't gonna be fun..
..the alternative is get shit-faced on drugs, booze and hoes and drive off a cliff doing all three, James Dean style
OT: You only live once, well thats bad for you isn't it, luckily I don't feel that way and so I am disinclined to dead in your silly antiques, Good day to you sir.

Isn't YOLO a codeword for girls who do anal?
I'll just stick with 'capre diem' for when I want to do something out of the ordinary, and not stupid.

The best explanation i heard, was that "YOLO is Carpe Diem for stupid people.".

Not all drugs. Acid has pretty much no harmful effects. Unless you consider the weird shit people do when they're on it. Same with cannabis.Strazdas said:
OT: Me and my friends use it ironically. Nah, seriously, we'll occasionally pull it out as a piss take. If you're looking for an excuse to do something stupid then you're living your one life wrong; if you want to get destroyed then get the crates in for lunch time and drink till the next day, don't say YOLO and half arse it.
skinheads aren't always racist your argument is invalid.Mr Pantomime said:
A correct refferal would be nazis, neo nazis, or just blatantly : racists.
