Let start out by saying to you as I said before I have with out a doubt more hands on experience dealing with people who have or are screwing up their lives. I mendor and advise people everyday it's part of my job. I also have the education to back it up, I have more letters after my name than you probably can count. I am very highly regarded and often sought after for my experience and expertise in my field. Even on the personal side I have done more than my share of screw ups. I admit I am far from perfect and have as many skeletons in my closet as the next guy. So if I was you I would really watch what you bet because you have zero chance of winning this bet.
Their past experiences won't change the cost they will pay for thier current mistakes. So shooting your moth off a blog makes you feel better about your life good luck.
