Pranks are always funny when they are happening to the other person. In this day and age I find that pranks have been elevated to the level of disrespect, maliciousness and even torture. We need only look at colleges, some elite organizations such as the military in a process referred to as either hazing or initiation. I believe if the best and brightest devote their mind and talents to seeing how they can degrade someone, they are not the kinds of people I feel who should be placed in responsible positions!

Being a prankster in my mind should reflect the mentality of a very young child and if you as an adult cannot see the value in other human beings to the point of not trying to and/or debasing and humiliating people like yourself then you have not yet grown-up and people need to be aware that you are a risks to the welfare of others around you! I believe this concept also applies to today's on stage comedians that feel it is perfectly OK to degrade members in their audience with vulgarity and the degradation. They commit these acts with a smile on their face knowing full well that they would not like the same done to them.

The idea of acting like a mature responsible adults seems to have fallen by the wayside. Adults seems to be focused on painting their bodies different colors wearing a childish outfits and committing the whole nation if not the world view in living color desktop ridiculous eight grown person can behave in public. It appears to meet this is a breeding ground for the development of pranksters.

We cannot develop a moral society, a responsible society if there is no one there to lead the way. Since the development of the computer I believe many of us have heard the term "Garbage in, garbage out." This ideology does not only apply to the electronic computer if we instruct our children in the idea that planning a pranks is harmless then we effectively create a society that cannot respect all appreciate the sanctity of human life and the serenity of peace through harmony.

Unlike the animal became them human beings can create the kind of future they want to see and so the question is asked once again "Do we wish to live together as brothers or died together as fools?"Let us recognize, like it or not we all all role models so that only leaves one question, but kind of role models will lead the (A Good or A Bad) one?

It doesn't take a Ph.D. to recognize if what you're doing is something you do not want done to yourself then Don't Do It!

Leave the pranks to the Batman and the Riddler!
