questioning the answers.

[cumallday]

When I went to sell-out school the first lesson they taught was, "You've got to be a people person". I never did 'fit' in with any particular crowd. I always said a little rebellion is good for the soul. Thinking and staying true to yourself, what have you rebelled against lately?

 

[rgraham666]

I find rebelling for the sake of rebelling as pointless as conforming for the sake of conforming. A person's actions should be conscious, not automatic.

I do agree with you questioning the answers. I'm a big fan of Socrates.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I never watched him play, but my father says he was the shit!

 

[deathlynx]

I'm rebelling against myself...Seems to be the healthiest rebellion around, unless of course it gets too destructive, but I try not to let that happen

I so want to be like graham when I grow up!

[Rumple Foreskin]

I'm pretty much a comformist, go-along-to-get-along, don't-make-waves-just-for-the-hell-of-it type of guy. However, about 15 years ago, while serving as post commander, I integrated the American Legion post in the small southern town (20,000) where I was living at the time. Does that count?

Smart ass. And no, Rob's not a cracker. He's from Canada, not the great state of Georgia.

to have the courage to say no

It's easy to 'be in' with a fad, to simply go with the flow. It's harder to see through a haze of popularity and shake your head as the world just nods away.

I rebel all I can against pop culture.

They won't get me.

No sir.

Oh, and cell phones.

Oh, and any product where the commercial uses people to portray things or brands.

Thanks for the thread. I needed this vent.

Shucks. Thanks folks.

 

[amaranthus]

I rebel against most things, but all in my head. I'm a good litle girl on the outside and a raging, hiddeously disagreeable bitch on the in.

erm...
this is probably where i shouldn't say anything huh?


i love you baby...however, that inner bitch comes out to play sometimes. i like to toy with her. she reminds me of Absy, my goiter twin.

 

[amaranthus]

Okay. Whatever that means. I could be SO much worse. Really, I could.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

I rebel against pretentious ideals, many tenets of the "alternative" culture, aggressively ignorant atheism, arm-chair psychologists/philosophers, and people who think they're special and have done little to justify it.

 

[Liar]

Thinking and staying true to yourself, what have you rebelled against lately?

Narrowminded academic glass bubble dumbfuckery.

Other than that, I have been more prone to hosing down people who think they're rebelling, when really they're just being self-centrerd asses.

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Socrates? Yeah, I saw him once live. It was one of the more impressive live shows...














No, wait. That was Andy Garcia.

My bad.

[hmmnmm]

Wait, I get it now.

This is all backwards.

Trick question.

I'm not the rebel.

But others are rebels I prefer to not contend with.

How's that?

Thanks.

Happy Winter!

Personally, myself and others on my town council have been up in arms trying to prevent the gentrification of our quaint little neighbourhood by stopping a ghastly fucking Wal-Mart building project from ever coming to light. We'll probably lose, but not without a fight. Rebel on.

Wal-Mart is my hero.

And I still think people should fight them to the best of their ability.

There's a cup of hemlock out there with your name on it, so watch it.

Speakin' of Wal-Mart, I went in the 'Out' door there yesterday.

Does that count?

Power to the People!

 

[SeaCat]

What is a rebel?

I don't believe in bowing down to those who wish to control others because they think it is their right.

I refuse to bow to those in power because they believe that their power makes them right.

I will not be quiet because my views are unpopular.

I am the original rebel. I am the one who looks like you, who listens and thinks. I am the one who looks like you yet makes you feel uncomfortable becaue I am willing to fight when you are willing to knuckle under. I am the one who looks like you, yet makes you shiver in the night because I question.

Borrowed from the movie 'Real Genius:'

Val Kilmer: I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates . . . 'I drank what?'

If I rebel against anything, I'm not aware of it. I suppose we all do, at various times, as a purely impulsive, reactionary sort of thing. I don't normally think about what I do or say or think as coinciding with any existant dogma or belief system; though I suppose that just by saying that I am falling in with some group of thought.

There was a time when I acted out against everything, but I suppose the majority of that was a function of youth. These days, I have fallen quite comfortably into the mold of the middle-aged man who writes stories (dirty and otherwise) and sees life through a film of experience and (hopefully) earned wisdom.

Still, that adolescent urge strikes from time to time and I find myself going 'tsk tsk' at drivers on their cell-phones and anything that becomes too popular . . . guess I just can't let go of my youth

Hmmn . . . now that I really think of it, I suppose we can't be human and not rebel against something . . . .
