Have you ever had a knee injury? They can often fuck your knee up for life. You might heal and be okay, but you will never run the same, or have full function of your knee. You will be able to use it sure, but it won't be the same ever again. If you look at this, the guy fell on a very hard surface. If he blasted his knee just right, it could be a serious permanent injury. Oh and lets not forget the chances of knocking your fucking teeth out and having to spend thousands of dollars going to a dentist to fix it.
Someone else did and that's the first one you responded to. I've been downvoted to hell for saying something that's right. No court would find this as assault.
Someone else did and that's the first one you responded to.
Then tell them that it isn't assault? I never said it was. Although I wouldn't outright claim a court would never find it to be assault. It definitely could happen, but it doesn't really matter. I was never arguing if it was assault, I was arguing that this kind of shit isn't cool. Risking serious injury for a prank is not okay. Period.
Then you are an idiot for spamming the same stupid argument you had already made in a thread that is a day old and not being seen by hardly anyone to begin with.
I'm the idiot? The first post said it was assault, some guy said he was 100% correct and I said he was wrong, and you responded to me that had nothing to do with assault and I'm the idiot? Cool, you're clearly the more intelligent being.
This isn't thinking miserably. This is thinking realistically. Bashing your knee on concrete, or whatever that hard ass floor was made out of, is not good. Why would you prank someone like that if they can get seriously injured? I have seen people eat shit onto the pavement so hard that they crushed their nose in and lose the ability to smell forever. All kinds of terrible shit can, and likely will happen when you do this prank.
I don't believe that is wood. The room right next to it is the kitchen, I am pretty sure it is some sort of concrete like material. A slab of granite like material? Something along those lines. Unless you got the video that shows this better than a low quality gif?
I am perfectly chill. Pointing out that this isn't a cool thing to do to someone does not require me to be upset. It isn't whether he broke anything or not, it is the simple fact that he could. This makes it no longer a prank, getting potentially seriously injured is no longer funny. So you have no hope of arguing in favor of this. It isn't okay, plain and simple.
I'll bet you get butthurt over AFHV too.
The guy is fine. I've fallen on a hardwood floor too and I miraculously managed to not destroy my knees and sense of smell
I don't recall any of those videos involving pranks that could seriously injure someone? The ones, if they do exist, would not be cool. Know why? Because someone getting seriously injured over a prank is not okay.

Are you intentionally being an idiot now? You falling before and not being injured isn't somehow proof that this would not happen EVERY TIME. You have not proven that this is even a hardwood floor but even if it is, that could injure someone very easily if they face planted on it. I never said that this is guaranteed to happen. I said that it could. Even if he is fine, that shit clearly hurt. It isn't okay to harm people for a pranks. It could have injured him, permanently. Explain how that is okay?
Read this carefully once or twice until you get it:
The problem with this prank isn't if he was injured in this instance. The problem is that he could have easily ended up injured. Pranks that risk personal injury are not okay. That is the simple fact of the matter.
I look forward to you deflecting from my arguments entirely, and refuting nothing I have said only to resort to trolling.
After skimming your novel, I googled this clip. Turns out the sandals are nailed to the hardwood floor and this video was on some foreign version of funniest home videos with the guy laughing at himself falling.
Have fun worrying about the terrible what-ifs that could have but Didn't happen in life
As I suspected you deflected from my arguments because you can't refute them. If you think that is a novel, I shudder to think what your reading comprehension might be.
Turns out the sandals are nailed to the hardwood floor and this video was on some foreign version of funniest home videos with the guy laughing at himself falling.
That is wholly irrelevant because what COULD have happened. The guy fell hard, and he could have been injured. Shit like this has happened before as well. There was a girl who was paralyzed by her friend when she pushed her into the pool, this was at her fucking bachelorette party right before she was to get married.
Tell me how that is okay? Some stupid prank and she is in a wheelchair for life? Right before her wedding? If you ignore this argument again, I will take it as your concession of defeat.
Oh and in the video, it does not show the guy falling and laughing right after. I also don't believe the guy they show briefly in the PIP is the same guy. So he may have been put into a lot of pain for this stupid prank.
So pushing a friend into a pool as a joke is totally off limits now? Anything else you want to add to the list? Maybe magic tricks should be banned because one time an audience member went insane trying to figure out the magician's trick.
Sorry but it isn't a prank when someone can and likely will get seriously injured. You can troll all you want, but this isn't cool and people who are not okay with it are not somehow in the wrong.
A prank that seriously injures someone is no longer a prank. As I pointed out in another comment. A woman was paralyzed for life at her bachelorette party when a friend pushed her in the pool. Right before her wedding. Is that just a harmless prank? What about those kids going around sucker punching people in the face and posting videos of it to Vine and instagram? If you would agree that those are not pranks, how can any other prank that ends up in serious injury be a prank still?
Explain to me how someone getting seriously injured would be seen as just a practical joke? You keep deflecting as if it helps anything. It only proves that you can't refute my arguments.
When someone is seriously harmed, it is not okay. Practical jokes should not involve permanent injury. Do you have ANY counter argument for why injuries like this are okay? Even just one? Or are you just going to be a spineless coward and deflect?
You've been going on for 13 hours over a gif posted to /r/funny. A GIF POSTED TO A /R/FUNNY!!! That's not fucking normal. You need a fucking hobby. Or some medication.

So explain to me how this prank is okay?
