[NoPasaran]

2. I'm offended when someone asks me if I find something offensive

Some people get really offended when they are told that they shouldn't lie, steal, cheat, and so on.

I wonder why that is?

4. I generally ignore it because it is my life...kind of like

they way I ignore my Mother and her advice.

7. Yes, but...

[el_bryanto]

[rucky]

9. Should I be?

[hyphenate]

10. It depends on the circumstances

in which I was being told.

If I'm very young, and the person is older, their experience could be enough to make me probably listen to them.

Really, if the person I'm with is far more familiar with the situation, I would appreciate being told the standards of behavior and protocol. I'm not ready to greet the Queen unless I know what I should say or how I should act.

11. Laws are "telling us what to do". The fact is, we need laws.

What I can't abide is people telling me what to think.
