[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1763457, member: 4319"] I would too. We're in the distrustful minority, but even in that minority there are still commands from authority figures we would and do follow against our better judgement. I'd like to think that I wouldn't obey those that go against my own safety or morals, but so did a lot people that later did just that. If you take any average person on the street, odds are they are more likely to override their own judgement to follow an authority figure in a random scenario than they are to question one. That's the majority of people. And all people are that way to a certain degree and in certain circumstances, even you. I had a buddy that had a job he was about to quit, and for his own entertainment he just basically started telling people he had no authority over what to do to see if they'd do it, even things that were his assignments. Everyone did them and nobody questioned him or talked to his superior about why they were being asked to do his work. I've always wanted to do an expiration which I get a $10 card table, some scrubs, and a poster board that says "Free Flu Shots Today Only" and set up in a Quick Trip parking lot. When people sit down, I'd say "I'm not a doctor or a nurse you idiot! You were gonna let a stranger sitting at a card table in a gas station parking lot give you a shot?" I guarantee you people would line up for free flu shots from any random assclown with a card table and scrubs. I've read a few that said exactly that, but that doesn't matter. I didn't mean to bring that case into this case, but I'm not the one who tried to equate the two and I still think it's a poor comparison. [/QUOTE]
