I've just seen a Jehovah's Witness fall on his arse. Now usually I'd have gone to check he was ok. But......
1: I was laughing to much
2: he was a Jehovah's Witness
Am I wrong for not checking?? |

Because it's Good Friday, a day to spread the word I would assume.
To some it's shite, to others it's not, I'm not one to judge one on their beliefs |

I have spoken nicely to many Jehovah's Witnesses in my life. We have different viewpoints on certain issues, doesn't make what they believe a laughing matter or shite on many of those. |

I've laughed at people falling over & I'm sure others have done the same when I have.
If I was close to them though, I would always go over to make sure they were okay. |

Well I thought/think the fact he fell over is and will always be funny regardless of who he is etc.

One human sees another human fall and doesn't help because he doesn't like what he believes. I'd say that's wrong, yeah. |

I have to agree I would have laughed regardless of who fell over as plenty have laughed at me but think I might have asked if he was ok
Exactly why do they still knock on doors to annoy us with their beliefs |

Laughing is not wrong no, we all do it. however your response of not helping because you knew he was of a certain religion is in my humble opinion. |

I naturally laugh when this happens to me or to someone else ... But I would still help them; never know they may laugh at themselves ...
As for Jehova's witnesses I quite like them.. Have two different couples come to my door... One for my nephew who apparently has been talking to them over a year now and one for my dad who invites them in for tea and biscuits and all sorts. I personally like talking to them. |

OP there are plenty of people that make a statement and then try to back track when the consensus goes against them. It may well have been funny but you did claim that you didn't help because of his religion. People may not hold in his beliefs but most will respect his right to hold them. |

I was stuck on the M6 the other day and it hadn't moved for ages. The passenger of the car in front got out and started running to the bushes at the side of the motorway. He was obviously desperate and as he ran his trousers fell round his knees and he tripped over.
I fucking roared with laughter  |

Totally agree with your last statement here...
But Religion is like a toy. I don't mind people playing with their toys. They can even play with them in front of me.. but do not try and force me too play with them... they will be thrown away. |

Having spent 10 years serving in the Royal Marines I've seen what so called religion does to people and there lives, so no not intolerant maybe just a bit confused with it all and what exactly the benefits of it are meant to be.
That said it was just a forum post for a laugh not to get people's back up lol |

You miss have a particular set of skills, skills that you have no doubt acquired over a long career. Not only will I put in a recommendation to the forum police that you be commended on your service. But I'm going to personally see to it that you are nominated for a pride of Britain award. |

If you have a garden and uninvited callers have to use it to reach your door aren't they technically trespassing ?
If they refuse to leave are you then entitled to : call the police/release the hounds/point a shotgun at them and bellow 'get orf my land' at them - in order to encourage them to leave your property ? |

There's something about implied right of access which relates to their right to come to your door but I don't know the details.
If you tell them to leave and they don't, then they are trespassing.
I think. But I've never had anyone refuse to leave. I've had a couple of very pushy sales people keep talking over my "not interested, thank you" but they went away when I shut the door. |

Personally I've never understood why watching someone potentially hurt themselves is funny. I've never enjoyed so-called 'entertainment' that focuses on this.
I certainly don't understand why religion should make the slightest bit of difference. A human being is a human being, regardless of beliefs.
I doubt compassion is a strong point of yours OP!

When you've seen what human beings can do to each other then you develop a bit of sinicism about religion.
But maybe that's just be being un compassionate hey |

I think the op was meant as a laugh and not actually a dig at a particular religion.
But when you mention ANYTHING that people have strong views on people will always object to them. |

"I've just seen a Jehovah's Witness fall on his arse. Now usually I'd have gone to check he was ok. But......
1: I was laughing to much
2: he was a Jehovah's Witness
Am I wrong for not checking??
One human sees another human fall and doesn't help because he doesn't like what he believes. I'd say that's wrong, yeah.
Ah see your all assuming I didn't help due to religion but intact it was the fact I couldn't stop laughing
Read you op again then, it says you didn't help for 2 reasons, one being his religion
Yea that's the order of why I didn't the main being I was laughing to much. Besides he has other people with him knocking on doors so he is fine.
People are very touchy about this aren't they haha. "
I'm glad you noticed |

"If you have a garden and uninvited callers have to use it to reach your door aren't they technically trespassing ?
If they refuse to leave are you then entitled to : call the police/release the hounds/point a shotgun at them and bellow 'get orf my land' at them - in order to encourage them to leave your property ?
There's something about implied right of access which relates to their right to come to your door but I don't know the details.
If you tell them to leave and they don't, then they are trespassing.
I think. But I've never had anyone refuse to leave. I've had a couple of very pushy sales people keep talking over my "not interested, thank you" but they went away when I shut the door."
Wouldn't having a pack of baying, snarling hounds (or better still sabre tooth tigers) to encourage them on their way be more fun though ? |

Even some of the most pacifist and kindly people find themselves laughing at some of the extreme violence portrayed in Tom & Jerry.
Compassion is a continually moving variable based on circumstances. Would your compassion extend to rushing to Kim Il Jong's aid if you saw him slip over and fracture his pelvis? |

I don't usually laugh,I'm concerned that they haven't hurt themselves. However,on d*unken nights out,when a friend falls over,I have been known to laugh as I try to help them up. I think,if they laugh,I laugh too. I've seen someone fall and break an arm and that plays on my mind. |

Sarcasm doesn't really work on here...
And neither does humour... Which is subjective as you have seen..
Not everyone thinks the same so what one person laughs at would horrify someone else...
You chose to post your thoughts on a forum so you have to be open to criticism...
And even though people say they don't judge they are obviously lying |

"I've laughed at people falling over & I'm sure others have done the same when I have.
If I was close to them though, I would always go over to make sure they were okay."
Check first, laugh after. Normally the other person is laughing too (as long as they haven't hurt themselves!). |

"Only time it's wrong is if it's a child that hurts themselves or someone with a disability. Otherwise laugh loud and proud.
Or a pensioner. Say OR a pensioner. Say it."
Nah, it's particularly funny if it's a pensioner. Particularly if they break a hip.

I saw someone slip on an orange and fall down a flight of stairs. It's probably the funniest thing I'ce ever seen.

I think you are wrong for not checking. I think you are wrong for laughing.
If i fell over (cus of my present disability) and you laughed then that would make me cry and feel ashamed.
If my mum fell over (shes in her 70s but looks younger and physically fit but has dementia and her brain doesnt give her the correct messeges so sometimes she falls over) and you laughed you would find a very angry woman telling you what she thought of you and hopefully making you feel ashamed of yourself !
But then again some people have no compassion or manners ! |

Yet again another person not really grasping what the post was really meant for BANTER
If I was shameful enough to laugh at anyone like your mother then yes you would have a point but not a physically fit 40+ yr old man who happens to live over the road from me and in general we have a nod head type of relationship. The laughing was because he fell over air while looking like he's tripped over a step while thinking he could go around the cul de sac with the watchtower mob knocking on doors.
But I guess you figured that much didn't you lol |
