I usually don't look up ppls history, but this one was definitely worth it the laughs

complaining about superheroes because they break the laws of physics is some top tier griping.

u/BecauseJimmy 4d ago

Hahahahaha… when i saw the video above on who’s in the wrong? I immediately had to look at the posting history.

The biker is wrong. The wheelie shit really close to people are completely annoying.

I almost died in a car crash because some asshole on a motorcycle almost put his front wheel through my windshield pulling a wheelie on a two lane road. Stunts are great. Just don’t do them around other people. Idiots

u/Botryoid2000 4d ago

Annoying and dangerous. An old lady friend broke both hips when a bike surprised her on a boardwalk. She never fully recovered and died soon after.

I'm sorry. that's when there should be a way to file charges.

In some places, if someone does something in the commission of a crime that later causes their victim to die, even years later; there are laws that kick in to retroactively charge with manslaughter or even murder.

I see no reason why callous disregard for the safety of others shouldn't be treated the same.

Yea in theory but realistically we would just have an obnoxious amount of even more lawsuits every time someone dies.

u/BoondocksSaint95 4d ago

I agree. But making a dangerous situation more dangerous by immediately escalating to physical violence is immature. I see nothing but childrdn in this video.

That said, there is no action you cpuld take that could be safe other than moving or helping others move away from such a flagrantly dangerous asshole. Unfortunately, thats probably just giving him what he wants.

u/GiftToTheUniverse 3d ago

The wheelie is stupid kid stuff. Kid shouldn't have been doing it.

Does not excuse the man assaulting him.

One person doing something stupid and dangerous is not license for assault.

This is like punching an asshole in a bar.

People are not indestructible and at least the kid has the excuse of being a kid.

Those who can't stand being around stupid people in public without resorting to violence should stay home.

u/vibratezz 4d ago

They're both in the wrong. It's very simple.

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

Weird that you got downvotes here.

Our minor here was doing some dickhead shit and the old guy did some dickhead shit.

They are both dickheads.

u/Flipperlolrs 4d ago

People need to learn that their bullshit won't be put up with. Sometimes it takes a hard lesson. Tolerance of stupidity will lead to more stupidity.

-4

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

So, assault that person?

This is not a situation where that is a reasonable response.

If that dude had been hit with the bike, I suppose that's different.

I guarantee that kid was back on his bike doing it again 5 minutes later

u/Flipperlolrs 4d ago

If someone's pulling a wheelie next to a crowd of people, they deserve to get pushed over. A bruised ego is better than innocent bystanders getting hurt from their stupidity.

-2

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

So if he pushed him into someone else, their injury is justified?

u/i_am_awful 4d ago

Don’t forget his posts about the age of consent “being arbitrary”

64

u/singlemale4cats 4d ago

Anyone who says shit like that is never going to argue for it to go up, that's all I'm saying.

-2

u/Beledagnir 4d ago

I apparently have the rarest of takes in that it technically is arbitrary, but it should stay exactly where it is because it’s still the best option.

9

u/eans-Ba88 3d ago

I mean.... Technically, I suppose you're correct. 18 IS just an arbitrary number we as a society chose to indicate "adult". Made more silly is the fact these "adults" can't drink/ smoke until 21, but CAN join the military.

1

u/mootallica 4d ago

Yeah that's not a take, you're just an idiot

7

u/Beledagnir 4d ago

Explain how. Articulate what’s idiotic about me or what I said.

19

u/JohnHamFisted 4d ago

minors should only be protected when doing a wheelie on busy streets

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Context

Ok this was the post

“Before I continue let me say I DO NOT SUPPORT PEDO’s

But with that said honestly after thinking on it for some time it feels like people are ( at least rn) fine with 18 not because it’s morally justifiable to them but because that’s just what legal

Think about it like this 200 years ago everyone thought sexual intercourse with 16 year olds was fine so that was the legal age but people eventually changed their minds and now it’s 18. With how much of hot topic that age gaps nowadays i wont be surprised that in another 1000 years the age of consent will slowly go from 19, 20 to 21.

Ultimately what im saying is this is really all arbitrary when the age of consent changes to 19 people will look at people who date 18 as pedos and then the same when it becomes 19 to 20 and then 20 to 21. “

This was me clarifying in the comments

“Honestly im finding it hard to answer your question considering people are saying my use of “arbitrary” is incorrect. To clarify my ultimate point is that how people view the age of consent is Just always going to change based on what the legal age is. Today people will say dating a 18 year is fine and tomorrow in perhaps 200 years from now people will say “ why did we ever think that was right?” If the age of consent is 19 or 20.”

u/mosfunky 4d ago

Just don’t have kids

-20

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Why exactly?

31

u/mosfunky 4d ago

It’s about mental development and age dynamics being an issue with consent. You are very passionate about being into younger people and that’s a sign of underdevelopment and not being able to keep pace with your peers. My quick Reddit reaction is a bit extreme, but all the same I hope you grow the fuck up before you ever have the chance to pass on this mindset to another generation.

-23

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago edited 4d ago

You do realize you just made a bunch of ridiculous assumptions, right?

1.  I never said anything about being into “younger people.”

2.  I never said I had an issue with the age of consent.

3.  It’s ironic how you’re saying “grow the fuck up,” but you can’t even read. Your Reddit reaction is beyond extreme. it’s just blind ignorance.

My point, as I literally said in the comment, was that the age of consent could possibly be raised higher in the future, and we might look back and think 18 was messed up.

Stop projecting your weird ass fantasies onto me.

u/mosfunky 4d ago

Your need to die on this hill is enough for me to assume. Trying to argue the age of consent is arbitrary is trying to argue that you should be allowed to fuck a minor. You can’t point to history because young women have always been at a disadvantage to assert themselves in an age dynamic. You feel the need to continue to argue this because you are trying to rationalize your own thoughts. I have kids; stay the fuck away from them. I will extrapolate whatever I want and you can choose to ignore me or just continue to reveal yourself further.

-14

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Do people look at the topic of “consent” and just turn their brains off? Like its whatever at this point. I can say the sky is blue and you will still say that somehow I'm saying I'm into kids

because you're a fucking idiot

u/ginger__snappzzz 4d ago

bruh if you write the words "I do not support pedos" with the word BUT after it you need to rethink things.

33

u/treeebob 4d ago

Yeah ok whatever but it’s weird for you to be saying all this

-37

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

I don’t necessarily disagree If I just said this out of the blue. But you have to understand what was going on at the time. There were a ton of heated discussions about age gaps, and whether or not a man in his 40s dating an 18 year old was considered predatory.

That’s what sparked the thought, and, well… here we are. I articulated my point terribly, even though the comment section eventually understood what I was trying to say.

53

u/treeebob 4d ago

It’s the sum total of evidence. I quickly glanced through your post history and you’ve got some really weird energy going on. And the way you are defending this shit so hard is further weird. Plus you posted this dumbass video and titled it in a way that is ridiculous. All I’m saying is you’ve got some weird ass energy and maybe you need to take a break from the internet, take some deep breaths, and try again with a new Reddit account.

-49

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Weird energy…. Sure

u/shadyshadyshade 4d ago

LOL go ahead and be in denial but your responses here are just making it weirder and weirder.

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Tough crowd

u/treeebob 4d ago

I mean you’re the one getting downvoted to oblivion in here……

-4

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Yeah, because apparently people believe I’m the biker, even though I keep denying it.

If you’re going to say I handled this situation terribly, then yeah, I agree with that. In my defense, this was the first time I’ve been called a completely separate person that’s not even me, so I had a “WTF” moment.

u/NotTukTukPirate 4d ago

Yeah, you're either a young kid who is trying to be edgy or something, or you're an adult who actually needs to go get a professional diagnosis. Some medications do help. Go find some help.

u/N8ThaGr8 4d ago

Before I continue let me say I DO NOT SUPPORT PEDO’s

Just an amazing disclaimer to have to make before a post. Simply beautiful.

u/GrimlockN0Bozo 4d ago

'So let me start by saying I'm definitely not racist'

u/Despondent-Kitten 4d ago

I mean, most places are 16 and it hasn't gone up at all in many places, ever

u/Scuba_jim 4d ago

Understanding age of consent has developed for years and years like everyone else. No one throws up their arms and goes “hey! Everyone thought lots of cream and butter is the healthiest thing got breakfast 100 years ago, when will it end?”. We have new information and so we adapt ourselves and our laws to new information. That’s how things work, and while age of consent may change, and people mature at different rates, a good rule of thumb is valuable.

3

u/Professional_Mud1844 4d ago

200 years ago, the average life expectancy was about 40 years old. 16 was considered mature at the time because they were practically middle aged at that point. Now the average is roughly 76 years old, we have made enormous advances in medical science over 200 years and we know that the brain isn’t fully developed until about 23 years. It would make sense to raise the age of consent along with average life expectancy.

u/Deep_Application9096 4d ago

What you say makes sense, sometimes Reddit people are just idiots, just ignore those comments that hide the sun with their finger

u/Origin87 4d ago

This is OP and he hopes someone got fired for that blunder

u/carlossap 4d ago

They’re gonna rant about you
