Today's pranks

[Hexis]

Walking across a street in New York City is dangerous. Hiking is dangerous. Paintball can be dangerous.

Your pranks are just plain stupid, at least hiking and painball have some value in return for the "danger".

Whatever, I disagree. Messing with people is funny. I'm 19, I'm not going to act like I have one foot in the grave and live by your standards.

"Boo-hoo, someone didn't like what I posted. I better get all e-upset n'stuff. I'm a 19 year-old rebel, and I'm stickin' it to the man by acting like a total moron. I'm totally original, except for the 99% of the time when i'm ripping off Borat and Jackass."

Acting responsible and mature does not equal "one foot in the grave." Grow up.

That'll stop a bullet or injury. What if someone chased after you in a car, thinking it was a real kidnapping, and hit a child in the parking lot, or one of those old people? Think about other people besides yourself when thinking about fun. THis is not fun, this was stupid, whatever age it was done at. Rather than consider that I and SteelRat might have brought up points you did not consider, bury your head in the sand, that makes it better. No it doesn't, it makes you look just like that. A nineteen year old who knows better than everyone around him with experience...

SteelRat said it best: Grow Up, you are nineteen

I'm going to go a little further. Ok, you did the act, thought it would be fun. You then had people who might consider the consequences a little more point them out to you. Be a good time to think and say "oh". Instead you go off on an idiotic defense of your actions.

This is just stupid.

"fake kidnapping"? what kinda of people are being raised today? It will be real funny when the next time you try that and a cop sees you.

ahaha don't listen to those other guys, the videos were funny! I've done the same thing to a friend only we made him believe he was truly being kidnapped. Yeah, I got a lot of crap for it in the friendlycorner too, just ignore them. it was all worth it in the end, and no one got shot, arrested, beat up, or hurt in any way.

next post is going to look something like this:

WHAT IF SOMEONE SAW YOU KIDNAPP HIM AND CALLED THE POLICE O M G.

Noone discussed the longterm ramifications of it being dealt with in a calm matter after the fact... most of us discussed the distinct possibilities of such an act causing immediate problems. What if someone had seen it, and the police and FBI (after all it is kidnapping) spent thousands of man hours of resources trying to track down your little stunt under the assumption a crime was committed? Think it would work ok for you in the end?

[wad04]

well I sure hope the FBI isn't tracking me down at this moment, geez I only live .4 miles away from the "crime scene". :)

Something else to think about. If you scare the begeebus out of a GROUP of people, you can be charged with a terrorist charge. It's one of the newer laws passed after 9/11. I dont remember the exact law, but it could be easy to get charged with it.

Warbeak: Your statement "Whatever, I disagree. Messing with people is funny. I'm 19, I'm not going to act like I have one foot in the grave and live by your standards." Realize this, "Our" standards are mostly LAWS. Breaking a LAW will possibly get you jail time. Be carefull on how you think about things. Alot of people older than you did stupid things for fun and found that there can be serious consequences to their actions. Dont immediatley dismiss their advice.

First vid is me fake kidnapping my girlfriend as she's walking into work:

This second one is of me and my friends staging a kidnapping in front of a local supermarket:

The captions for this are:
"Hey you, you're coming with me! Mr. Papageorgio wants his money!"

I deam today's accomplishments considerably good.

It's all fun and games until someone writes down your license plate number and calls the police.

Or uses deadly force to prevent it. Or is accidentally injured in trying to stop you....

I think all of us sane people can just stop. warbeak2099 has pretty well proven to be fully clue resistant. Not much we can do.

But we might eventually stop just scraching the surface! And get our idea across!

[Steelrat]

Forget it. He has obviously learned more in his 19 years than any of us old fogies have in our lives.
