That's right

I mean, one of the rules in EVERY workplace is no sexual harrassment, would you be happy if someone broke this rule against you?

Funny thing is I do respect my parents. They never pushed anything on me and I have never been in trouble. I always take what they say to heart. Because they explain why certain things are the way they are. Because they don't consider cussing disrespectful and so I do so I am disprespecting them? WHAT?! LOL

Don't really care I was just expressing myself. I could care less what anyone else thinks honestly. I was just bored and was thinking about these things and decided to post about both things. Not to ruffle feathers just because I was bored.

Wow im rambling and losing track of what im saying.

While I agree with you to a point...there is also a point where maturity has to step in and you have to know when to STOP breaking rules...you won't make it very far breaking every rule set before you, especially if you plan on working outside of Burger King someday...

Unfortunately what you are asking is 'idealistic'...we don't live in a perfect world, and as such, we need rules, and laws that give consequences to actions that go against those rules and laws. Yes, we SHOULD encourage one another to be more considerate, and to love our neighbors, but even within a loving community boundaries must be set, because we are still human, and to be human is to err.
