I guess those of us who survived to grow up talk more like you know OTB!

If something distracts you get rid of it. Me I can eat cheetos, masterbate, sing, and calculate fuel mileage at the same time so I don't think a push to talk is gonna get me tipped over

Yup...youthful enthusiasm and self-rightousness get replaced by prudence, concern and a dash or skepticism after having some jackass scare the crap out of you, or watching a good friend get hurt or worse because somebody didn't care about anybody else's safety.....


...it's called "experience".

One of my favorite sayings is you start with an empty cup of experience and a full cup of luck. The trick is to fill the first before the second runs empty. After being hit by cars on two occasions and coming out of both without a scratch my cup of luck is about as empty as it gets.
