#1 Have you ever done,said, or thought something that you have regretted? #2 Have you ever *not* done, said, etc... something that you have regretted?

What is it? --IMO, I think it is a past experience...a person could have felt betrayed by the bash victim when he/she/thay did not support their views...or whatever else...this is similar to a thought i heard about people who are atheist...but thats another topic...

I am sure many people have noticed the 'arguement' between a few other bloggers and I over an incident that happened...this has sparked an idea...
