  1. I find every TED talk is a disappointment. They have to be geared toward a general audience that usually has little in common with the person seeking out the advice years later.

  2. I simply cannot listen to someone who is not in danger of, say, ending up homeless at some point spouting this stuff. I'd have more respect if she regretted spending money on the tattoo instead of giving it to the local homeless shelter, or putting it away for her retirement.

  3. Never happens.

  4. Well, look on the bright side. If you regret being born, that won't last.

  5. What if your regrets have to do with someone else's actions? For example, I regret that my mother worked as much as she did, and as hard, starting when I was 3. Then there are people who regret much bigger things -- that their parents were abusive, for example, or alcoholic.
