Hello all, for those new guys who may know me by my shitposts and antics, a couple months ago I use to do these "social experiments", where I would ask #offtopic a question with a set of dynamic answers to produce a possible correlation, or just to survey the fine users here in our little corner of the web. I just ask that you reply seriously, or don't reply at all, so we can have some quality discussion.
So the topic of the day, conformity. The term is a tad vague, but for all intents and purposes, I would like you to define it for yourself, and choose where you belong. I separated into age groups because I feel like there could be a stigma for or against the term depending on which part of life one is at. I focused on the teenage/young adult years because that is when our perceptions and opinions on things change the most frequently.
[b]Would you consider yourself a conformist?[/b]
And for further inquiry, [b]what is your opinion on the term "conformist?" Negative feelings towards it? Positive?[/b]
Please comment with your age (or age group if you feel more comfortable doing so) and answer, I just put the poll as a visual aid. And remember, every time you vote in a poll and don't comment, a little kid drops his ice cream on the ground, and unknowledgeable of germs, eats it and dies from a tragic case of e-coli. Think of the children.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 7/26/2015 12:00:31 AMFollow up question, a couple of people's comments made me think of it. And please, I hate religion threads just as much as the next guy, so let's not turn this into a debate or throw around hateful comments just because you want to be edgy. [b]Do you think religious belief and practice of such is a form of conforming? Are religious followers conformists? Are atheists conformists?[/b]
