Well, if someone told me that they had this great experience on a rollercoaster, I'd look into it.
I'd soon find that:
1) there is a good chance the seat-restraints don't work
2) God knows who built it, or what "shoddy" parts they put in it
3) I might die
4) If I don't die (overdose on rollercoastering) I could have an urge to ride it every day, and an exorbitant cost
5) There's a chance I could alienate my friends, family and other loved ones just by riding this rollercoaster once
6) I could get arrested just by having a ticket to the ride
7) I could get refused a job because of said criminal record...
The list goes on and on and on.
If you're willing to take that roller-coaster, well, go ahead, that's your deal.
Me, well, I'm not so sure. But that's my deal.
But don't tell me I need to experience it because I don't know what I'm missing. Because I do. I'm missing out on a whole bunch of potential heartache, medical problems, monetary problems, crime, addiction...
Sure, I may be able to try it once, find out it's not my bag, then call it a day. Or, I could become helplessly addicted and completely ruin my life.
So, no. I choose not to take that roller-coaster of fate.
I could end up snuffing gold paint.
