If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

[Art Vandelay]

Don't get your hopes up.

Edit: Maybe I'm just a jagged, pessimistic, misanthrope though; so who knows.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Best hope you are not queer otherwise....

[the Leftâ„¢]

You gotta be kind, kid

[o well this is ok I guess]

[Ostrinski]

Don't be afraid to be who you are.

Don't go to the toilet after cutting up hot chilli peppers without washing your hands.

[ВАЛТЕР]

Number one suggestion: Stay outta my way. :sneaky:

For serious now.

Any book that has a title that starts with something like "The Truth about..." or "The real Story of..." or "The Secret History of..." or " What they don't want you to know about..." and any other book that suggests some grand secret conspiracy about something is a bunch of bullshit. Anytime you read any information from a book like this, double check the information to make sure it has any basis in reality.

Also, anything a rich man says is a lie until proven otherwise. Apply this to everything. You hear: "Oh but the news says this" say to yourself: "fuck that, the news is owned by a rich guy and we all know that rich guys are liars, better check this for myself." Double and triple check any information you read or hear, Google is your friend.

Don't go to the toilet after cutting up hot chilli peppers without washing your hands.

I remember when that happened to you. Fun times.

[Questionable]

Don't believe what they say in history class.

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Don't waste your energy on people who are not, and never will be, your friends or peers.

[Sentinel]

I didn't read everything, but lots of good stuff here. Tough one, but maybe I'd go for this: don't be dogmatic but always consider everything critically.

Take advantage of people's experiences and their advice but reach your own conclusions.

[helot]

Don't go to the toilet after cutting up hot chilli peppers without washing your hands.


You know, this reminds me of a friend of mine who after eating an orange foolishly decided to put his contacts in.

[Quail]

Don't go to the toilet after cutting up hot chilli peppers without washing your hands.
Or rub your eyes. Twice.

Although eyes probably aren't quite so bad as your bits.

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

Don't rub your arsehole after eating spicey things either.

Serious response: keep calm and eat cops

[Philosophos]

Well if it was a new born I don't think it would understand but I was going to tell him: "What you give you get, you little poop machine"... I think the poop machine is unnecesairy

[Pirate Utopian]

Smoke crack for Satan.

[doesn't even make sense]

Listen Kid

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.

The Communists turn their attention chiefly to Germany, because that country is on the eve of a bourgeois revolution that is bound to be carried out under more advanced conditions of European civilisation and with a much more developed proletariat than that of England was in the seventeenth, and France in the eighteenth century, and because the bourgeois revolution in Germany will be but the prelude to an immediately following proletarian revolution.

In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.

In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.

Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.

The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
