I beg to differ.I would want to teach my kids to never conform,to never just shut up and go to work,to work not because you are someone's bitch but because you can change the world.

Yes I have to admit that if I had grown up with these values myself I would be perhaps be not getting myself into trouble so much .But hey...at least my life is fun :)

But I agree with you on the other things...always recognize bullshit and always watch out for the assholes!

Conforming should not be seen as a value in itself, for sure, but it can be a useful thing till you can get yourself the heck out of that place.

Sometimes it's neccessary to reach a bigger goal.

And sometimes it's just easier to conform in some small areas you don't care about. Some people can't deal with the level of 'weirdness' they see in others - conform in some areas and get better relationships to them (and don't say you don't want relationships to those, sometimes one can't choose).
