[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Oh? And as a responsible adult, you don't have to be obedient to authority? And your actions don't have consequences? When your 20-something kid gets canned for ignoring her boss, you know who to blame. Part of being a "self-directed adult" is knowing that rocks will fall on your head if you don't direct yourself properly. The teenager here hasn't gotten that message yet, and therefore still needs external direction combined with penalties for failure to comply with direction.[/quote] As a responsible adult, is this the reason you do what people in authority tell you to do: because the people in authority will punish you if you don't? Maybe it is. But I don't like authoritarianism; not in the government, not in in my workplace, and not in my family.[/quote]
