Do you break rules? Do you only break certain rules and would never dream of breaking others? What do you think about it? What do you think about people other than you who break rules? What's your conscience like?
And I mean any rules. School rules, rules your family set down, laws, those moral rules everyone has such as "do not kill this person with that pencil just because they won't give you some of their chocolate", road rules, safety rules. Any rules.

I break the rules that need to be broken when totally necessary, no matter what the cost. And I break the rules I want to break when I know I won't get caught or can talk my way out of it. Which I'm good at. I pay no attention at all to rules I think are stupid (don't pass notes in class, eyeliner is forbidden, etc.). Saying that, I don't break many rules in general because I'm a complete straight lacer.

If I don't want to obey, at home at school, anywhere, I don't. I believe that none can ever make you do anything you don't want to. But normally i stick to rules! But when someone won't give me any food there's no rule against killing them is there?

I break rules if I think I'll benefit in some way (usually if it's fun/enjoyable), there's little/no chance of me getting caught and it won't hurt anyone else.
Some people break rules only for the thrill of it, the possibilty of getting caught.

I usually don't break too many rules, only if there's an important reason behind it/something I need to do. Revenge is a good motivator too. But I hardly ever feel guilty about breaking rules because usually I do it for a fairly good reason.

I'm like most above: I break rules if it will benefit me hugely in any way, or if I'm sure I won't get caught. I do, however, miscalculate sometimes, and that's when I need to lie. Which, I suppose, is also breaking a moral rule. Heh.

Authority and I don't mix. Unless its like, a life or death situation, like in the Army. In the army, I follow orders, outside, I'm a rebel.

I don't break rules mainly because it makes me feel horribly guilty. I have this over-inflated guilt complex. And then I obsess. And then I can't sleep. And then I'm worthless for the day. And then I break more rules just from my lack of presence of mind. So indeed, it's a vicious cycle that I try not to get into.

You're exactly like me!
It seems most people will bend a few rules if the benefits are worth it and there isn't much risk of being caught, and there are a few cases of either rule following or rule hating.
Hmm...
If you don't break rules, do you mind people who do? You you wish they wouldn't? Or doesn't it really bother you?
If you do break rules, what do you think of us sheep?

Agreed with the two above. Even if I think I want to break a rule, if I break it, I'll feel guilty for at least a week.
If other people break rules... Hmm. It bugs me sometimes, especially if I'm really close to that person (my boyfriend, for example, can't get away with much when I'm around lol), but other than that I figure I'll just take care of myself and let others worry about what they're doing. Unless it something that involves me, like a situation we had a work last week. Then I feel I have to do the right thing - reporting them, in that case.

I break the rules that have no purpose. Like being on TSR is against the rules but do it anyway because it benifits my writing career.
I ran a stop sign one time. (accident i wasn't payin attention)

I break a lot of rules. House rules and school rules suck. I did get in trouble at school for flodding the toilet, only it wasn't my fault but teachers never believe anyone.
I break every house rule, my parents drive me mad so I guess its a way of 'rebelling'.

Uh... hehe... *stiles laugh* We'll just say authority and I haven't gotten along too well, especially from eleven through my teens. When I hit eighteen I decided it's time to clean up my act. Fun time was over.
