who are the most rebel people that you know? or stubborn people?
can you tell about them? cases? or overall impression that you ask yourself if it right?
can you tell what you think about this issue of rebelliousness and stubbornness?
i hope for some answers that i may appreciate.
If by rebel you mean against the norm then I would have to say my mom was. When you were sad or upset she would annoy you until you laughed. even when things were at their worst she made you laugh by being a royal pain in the neck.
If you mean rebel as in against authority then I dont know who that would be, most prople I know are fairly laid back so not much reason to rebel.
as for stubborn I would have to say my grandmother, on my mothers side, whos oppinions include: Tv is the root of all evil (hense she only watcher childrens shows and game shows), new technology will all crash and well all be in the darkages(hense her not buying anything invented after the 1980’s) and people who dont agree with her are “ignant” (no that is not a mispelling thats her pronounciation).
Before my mom died she made the pastor promise to wear a calgary flames jursey, there is a long rivalry between the edmonton and calgary teams, and my mom was a flames fan in a town very close to edmonton. the pastor was embarassed as hell but at least her funeral wasn’t with heavy hearted.
When her sister was sulking when they were children my mom gave her a “supprise” namely a newt. When she was older (aka. late thirties) she had a friend who was deathly afraid of snakes, My mom baught her son a rubber toy snake, Go figure.
Mom had a lot of fun with what she did and she allways liked to see people smile, so she made them laugh at the most inconvenient times, she was rebellious in the sense that if things wer going one way she would turn them on their side just see how they would get back up again, though thats probably more jovial than rebellious.
like I said most people I know dont fight against authority, they may gripe and complain but if you show them the other side to the matter they usually accept your point as valid and let it be.
my gandmother however is as stubborn as an Mule, Whenever you try to tell her something that goes against her oppinion she calls you ignant and throws what seems like a hissy fit, which technically it is, when you call her bluff she quiets down really fast.
An example was one christmas she began to argue about a comemoration of a hockey star saying that they dont deserve it, when my mom tried to tell her the other side to the issue she said something like ‘nowbody appreciates me, Mabey I should just kill myself’ Mom thretined to drive her streight home, even got ready and everything, grandma shut up then and there.
She does it for attention, of this I have no dobut, otherwise calling her bluff wouldnt startle her so much.
Me, I am the most rebel people I know, but not the most stubborn.
The most stubborn is a 3 year old, any 3 year old.
Actually I am not so much the rebel as the individualist.
The rebel is against.
The individualist may seem to be against but is really just trying to go his own way.
Many do not care to discern the difference.
It upsets their sociological construct.
Much like telling a 3 year old no.
I’ll be interested in the contributions to this thread. I’m wondering how strong any link is between conformity and pragmatism.
I dont think i know anybody who is particularly rebel, stubborn etc. APR as for the relation between conformity and pragmatism, i have found that conforming doesnt necessarily mean practicality, i do what i see fit if it conforms then ok but if it doesnt then i stand by my decision because it was right for me.
I am such a non-conformist, that I am a conformist.
One time, while chillen with my non-conformist buddies, one of them proposed doing an activity which was non-conformist. I thought about it for a minute, then decided not to do it, but do the conformist thing instead thus being so non-conformist that I was conformist.
yeah and I at a cookie once
right before I got arrested,for being set up by my moms landlord ,becuase we never pay rent,at a least as of recent.
anyways I thought it was a good idea to sleep outside the doorstep after she got arested the day before and I awoke to the landlords husband who placed a knife in my hand and through alcohol on me with a plastic bag, then he ran downstairs kicked in the window and busted his lip and called the cops.I spent all day in jail,and coincidently missed my flight to florida.So I swong by my dads where I had clothes aready packed in a plastic bin, becuase I was going to move into my ex-stepmothers mothers house(grandmother),but didn’t so it was all ready,and I rushed to the airpot, drank a little coffee and am taking an exstended vaction in florida.
its alot more true than that,though hard to accurately put into words
know what I mean non-conformist friends
If you have to non conform, your just a loser, and if you don’t know you just don’t know. what the fuck is conformity anyways
yeah well thats the story
fairtale isn’t it
