Is there really such thing as "accident"?

[Anonymous]

As in, you didn't intend to do something. I feel like there isn't

[boggboss]

Yes because it requires intent or not if I make a comment and it upset someone but that was not my intent I have still upset them but it was a accident or if I'm walking and not looking where I'm going and bump into someone it was a accident because I didn't intend to do that

How do you know

Also, isn't it up to the person to decide if they're offended or not, so, doesn't that then make it on purpose?

[boggboss]

No because again intent is required for a action to be meant or not

[hahahmm]

Yes there are accidents. Although the legal concept of accident and the day to day meaning are probably different.

of course there is, i didn't meant to bump my head on the door knob but it happened even tho i passed there million times before and i had no intention to bump my head

[Asker]

You sure

[devilish-cutie]

[Asker]

How do we know that

[devilish-cutie]

i know that, that is enough. what is the point if i lie now?
you have also lie detector test that can confirm a lot of accidents

If you fart and end up shitting yourself, that is an accident. No one intends to shit themselves. I hope anyway.

of course there is. like i think most people who stub their toe on the edge of the bed were not intentionally trying to hurt their toes xD it's an accident.

Doesn’t life just sometimes “happen”?
