What do you think about controlling people?  Their way or NO way!?

I think they're insecure and crazy to think their way is the only way.  Isn't this a free country?

With me and my fiance it takes turns. I could potentially have all the control because he is so easy going but I don't like to do that so I always make sure we both get our say and always listen to his opinions and make sure we are both happy. it is all about comprimise at the end of the day.

I agree with the concept of too much freedom. Heaven forbid you try to talk to a teen about manners.  All you'll get is a loud F off, and if your really lucky, a beating by them and 20 or so of the closest peers.  And as for children, yes I do agree that there is a severe lack of parental supervision as compared to the good old days when one parent worked and one stayed home.  Although both my parents worked and I always say please/thank-you, etc.  I have even had comments from people where I work (my second job is a cashier) that I am always so polite and it is nice to see. It all boils down again to lack of respect for anyone but ourselves.  We are taught that we are the most important person in the world and that no one has the right to say anything to you that you don't like, be it teacher, parent, pastor (if anyone goes to church anymore), principle, or even the elderly neighbour down the block.

Show them that actions have rewards and consequences and each individual is responsible for their own actions. Teach them this by setting clear rules with clear consequences when not followed and rewards when they are. It's really as simple as "if you want me to do this, then I expect you to do that" or "I let you have xyz freedom and you didn't follow the rules, so you will have to re-earn xyz freedom"\nMy friend has a teen son who repeatedly takes her car and brings it home hours late without even calling her, I told her to tell him " I'm sorry, you are not allowed to use my car, because I can't depend on you to get it home on time. Find another way to go" If she would show him that she planned to stick to it, he would learn. But she never stood by any rules, that's why he does her that way. You don't have to be mean, just firm and consistent.

Some people want to rule the World because, There is a deep unconscious divide between Exceptance & Unexceptance. ome people want to achieve more thatn other people because there is not just satisfaction but, a great need to want to be better & more reliable to other people. Some of these people are actually positive people that have positive agenda's. There is nothing wrong w/wanting to rule in who's or whatever world they choose but, the reall World has never been ruled just by One Individuall.The rest of the people that remain content have already looked into those posibilities but know that just being content is a whole lot to ask for anyway's. If there were more Millionaries in the World than Poor people, then I guess that means that there would not be a need for Poor People. I'm Poor but, I'd rather be content then because there is a whole lot more to do in this World than rule it.

Hun I'm a very old fashioned girl, but in no way am I easily manipulated either. I am not into feminism because I think that's kind of lesbianish (not that I have anything against them), I do believe in equal rights though. Old fashioned does not mean we have to deal with all the things women had to deal with in the past. Sharing housework, well, I don't care for that, I'm a perfectionist and a clean freak, so when it comes to that, I need to do things my way or no way *lol*. I do believe in speaking my mind, but that doesn't mean I am going to stop being old fashioned. Do you really want someone old fashioned, or do you want someone you can manipulate?

Tough it out! Don't let one mean person take away something you enjoy. Don't let her win!

If someone holds the power/control in a relationship then love cant reside within it.  That's a waste of time.  Someone would always have their guard up.  Who would want that...not me.

Control is a sign of insecurity.  It comes from a lack of trust.  People that try to control are trying to possess.  They view the other person, not as their partner, but as their property.  If you own something no one can take it away.  You can break it, distroy it or just throw it away at will, and no one can say or do anything.  Controlling is not LOVING.

Great point, but the question should be why are you still hanging on to these blighters? Why dont you give them Independence and let them sink of float on their own, and worry about your problems?

Why do you limit yourself to these professions?How about lawyers,doctors and politicians,newspeople union leaders and even our friends.There is a difference between coercion and persuasion and adults have free will and can make their own mind up.Even in a dictatorial state people find subterfuges to get around the ukases of their leaders(black markets,sabotage etc.).
