Scarlett O'Hara

I get the feeling some people just generally hate authority for the sake of it. No matter whether hard done by or not they fight against the 'man'. Is it always necessary? I mean sometimes having people take control of things can be good for you and for them - for example in learning environments.

Would you consider yourself a person who dislikes those who have authority over you? I mean in any circumstance (not the mob team, ROFL).

Give an example of times you've challenged authority if you have.

To each their own. Nobody likes being told what to do.

Can you speak for everyone now? What a privilege.

I might as well close the thread now.

Wow, someone is in the mood for a quarrel. Why do you feel the need to be so confrontational? NOBODY likes being told what to do. Can you really argue with that? You seem to view yourself as the authority figure that people are trying to fight. You could get off the cross for 5 seconds and realize that no one is against you here.

I don't mind being told what to do if that person knows better and isn't suggesting I do something I know is f.ex stupid. Although I am highly critical towards the quality of any authority, I definetly I recognize the need for authority and so I guess "it doesn't bother me" is the best poll option for me.

I voted "No. It does not bother me".
I'm the type of person that can easily follow rules and doesn't have any problem receiving directions or commands from anyone, for as long as we're under the right circumstances.

i think it is mainly because I'm a Virgo and my zodiac sign tells me to be obedient and a rule-abiding person.

for everyone's info, here are the lists of the zodiac signs that don't have problems with authority and those that are just too hard headed to follow rules:

obidient to authority (Virgo, Cancer, Libra, Pisces, Sagitarius, Capricorn)
does not like to follow commands (Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aries, Aquarius, Gemini)

education at its finest..hehe

The Monkey

I think some form of authority is necessary to curtail the destructive forces of capitalism, and provide some financial security for its victims. This authority must however be transparent and open to prevent corruption and abuse.

I don't particularly like people telling me what to do, but I recognise that for now, we need rules to stop everyone from killing each other. Hopefully that'll change some day, but for now, we're stuck with them.
