-Murder
-Cheating
-Absurd drug abuse (crystal meth)
-Rape
-Senseless violence
-Choosing to go down the wrong path when you know you're a rational person and that it's rare that you are that lucky, considering how many are in the hood or in third world countries ignorant of the knowledge you so casually choose to throw away ("took awhile to get you hooked up to this volume")
-Loss of faith
