  1. Not really. I see most people not doing what they're told. For instance, in the central business district we have crossing signals on busy streets to reduce accidents and injuries but most people ignore the signals and cross blindly, many don't even check for oncoming traffic forcing panic stops and near misses. There are many other examples I could talk about. People are flouting sensible rules and laws 24/7

  2. With freedom come responsibility, but too many take the freedoms but ignore their responsibilities.

  3. Dependswho the conformists are and what they're conforming to.

  4. I'm confused. I am a conformist by nature but in this context I don't understand who the conformists and non-cinformists are. Sometimes I'm in one camp (the minority), sometimes the other. It depends on the situation.

  5. ​ @safeeffective385  The lock downsand mask mandates are examples of when conformity is a good thing. The non-conformists were responsible for countless and needless suffering and death. Like when people are warned of an impending tsunami, the non-conformists flock to the beaches.

  7. I see the world in an entirelly different way. I want conformity with societal norms. I just don't like the current norms. People have become too selfish and individualistic. The community spirit has died.

  8. Your comments relating to Israel are ridiculous. I support Israel's right to exist on its historic lands and I support Israel's right to protect itself from Palistinian terrorism. You need to know that anti-semitism is evil. And you need to stop believing the bs. No one is selling the USA to China or Israel, but Israel IS a democracy and IS a friend of the free world.

  9. Sometimes being a non-conformist is about ignoring truth in favor of ego. It works both ways.
