Questioning Society discussion

There are rules in our society everywhere, but who says we must follow them?

One reason I find right off the bat is for organization in society, and a sense of right and wrong. Or in other words: Morals. But can't you build your morals with out rules? Don't you build them without them?

Do you mean would people still have good morals if we grew up without rules?

Aren't your morals based on how your rolemodles act? on what you think?

I just want to point out that breaking rules is like half the fun of any rule-breaking task

ya but not all rolemodles teach you good morals

very very true

but it's a moral all the same. (I'm not against rules, just trying to make you all think really hard on why you do some of the things you do)

I'm all for rules when they make living easier, but I think we should all question them when they are rotely followed. Blind obedience to rules is not the the best way to go. If no one will be hurt, and it's better to break a rule, then break it. Eg. I live near a place where they are putting in a round-about (a traffic circle). The road is closed except for local traffic. There is no danger in driving through the construction after hours as it is merely a dirt road. It doesn't make sense to drive all the way around by the detour, so I always travel that way anyway even though I am not local traffic. If I was inconveniencing anyone I wouldn't do this but I'm not and so I break the rule. One should always think for oneself and question authority. I raised my children that way -- and then they did and I paid for it -- lol.

My mom almost always explains the rules to me why they are made. If she can't or doesn't explain them I usually break them unless I find a good reason myself. Also if the rules haven't been said aloud I will probably break them. EX: There is no rule that says that I can't go ding-dong-ditch my next door neighbor's house so I did...twice!

LOL

whats a fermata?

it's a musical symbol meaning to hold a note for longer than its value.

and I think if we didn't have at least SOME rules, everything would be chaos.

LOL, excactly what aqua said, in music you hold it out.


Yeah, rules are helpful, I agree with that. It's just think about it, what if back in the days of our revelution, are ancestors were demented freaks who had this law you had to kill someone before you could marry someone?
I mean it would be a crazy rule, but everyone would have to follow it....

thanks for explaining that i probably learned what that was when i still played an instrument but that was 5-6 years ago

but if it was a rule like that no1 would follow it. we dont follow laws blindley.

You would be suprised how many people really do.

good point but the majority of the population would see how rediculise a law like that would be n just not follow it or get the people who passed it out of office

that's not true though, because it would seem to them normal, and sane to follow since that's how they would be raised.

that just reminded me of the racial segregation between blacks and whites. A lot of the people looked down on them because that was "the law" and that was how they were raised. But others saw the inequality of racial segregation. So i think ur both right.

ya some would see it one way and others would see it a different way

lol, okay totally NOT what you guys were talking about but I read the comment about a fermata and suddenly I think that Hold Me: I'm a Fermata may be the greatest sentence in the history of the world.

thanks sage. lol

if you squint ur eyes when u look at sagella's pic it looks like the grimm reaper

wow, it does!!

creepyy.... i never noticed that

If you think about Sagella I think she probably meant for it to look like the grimm reaper

aliya whatever do you mean by that? lol.

Yeah, Sage is one of the most gentle and caring people I've ever met. I mean the bruise on my arm is definitely not from her punching me.

*laugh*

I'm sorry Sage, please dont hurt me.

Aliya, I just said Sage is gentle and caring. Why would she ever hurt you? lol

hailey im so glad you think so much of me. and if aliya suddenly has a black eye it won't be from me either! :D Joking aliya, i'd never do something like that!~

...

There!

*looks around* Where?!

What?
Sage I see that now.

I posted lol. Anyway it's all discussions I can't participate in

Its so weird how there are discussions between a couple of us and everyone feels left out. I'm so sorry.

Me too. You're always welcome to join in any conversation me and Aliya are having, just say something random. Sorry, we do go off into different conversations a lot.

Ya just jump right in even if you dont know what we are talking about because eventually we'll change the subject easily and you'll know exactly what we're talking about.

true that homes

Omg Megan calls me her home skillet biscuit flapjack it's sooooooo weird.

Hahahahahaha I'm gonna call people that all the time now. Except you though because I don't like pain.

Remember googley bear?

OHHHHH yeah I have to call Sage googely bear!! I keep forgetting to call her that, I really wanna watch monsters inc.

ha i hav the whole thing on my cell phone.

maybe to make them all feel in, I'm make a disscusion topic, were we can't post anything.

youd just be wasting space then

How would that work??

nobody knows its a mystery

and how would it keep other conversations out?
