An adult does not insist that he should be allowed to do something simply because he wants to. An adult leads by example and teaches his children and grandchildren that rules are needed and important.

I could go on, but you get the idea.
Just wondering. Can you show me any cases of people on this thread getting upset because they "got caught" breaking the rules? I have spoken to many neighbors in my short time here and very few have "been caught", but those that did mostly laughed about it and said, "oh well".

Oh, and just to nit pick, in 40 years of working at numerous companies (contractor) I can not think of a single "adult" that didn't steal pencils, paper pads, etc. I can not think of a single employee that did not steal from the employer by using his company laptop to browse the internet (except a few in top secret labs, where the computers did not have access to the internet).

Shall we take a look at what percentage of ADULTS have driven for more than 30 years and have NO traffic violations?

I am not sure what world you like in, but I expect MOST adults don't follow the RULES.
