are rules really meant to be broken?

The expression "Rules were made to be broken" is often used by people who are trying to justify breaking the rules.  There are some rules which must be broken in an emergency.  If the school is on fire, you can be pretty sure they won't hold it against you if you interrupt a teacher's conversation to tell her so.  However, the vast majority of the time, rules are meant to be followed to help people get along with each other and understand what is expected of them.  Even if an emergency exists, you can still expect there to be consequences for breaking the rules.  You may or may not get off lightly.

Basically no. Rules are rules. Just like homosexuals change in the same change rooms as the same sex, and use the same washrooms.

War rules................I never understood that concept.  How can war have 'rules', and do people really expect others to respect these so called 'rules'?

If we are talking about today we have no rules of engagement, the “bad guys” are all over the world, or may I say the world is becoming the “ bad guy “ if your going to fight the world you have to have no rules, it’s up to the world to have “rules of engagement” when it comes to us ( the US ).

I don't think so.  I think each house should have its own individual rules, so you can make that rule in your house.  There are probably some people who don't feel the same way, like me.

No one is free of rules.\n\nIt is best to observe rules even when dealing with enemies.  Discourtesy has a way of boomeranging.\n\nIf you're mad at someone, pretend to be patient.  There's this wonderful thing out there in the universe called "poetic justice" that will take care of it for you.

You have to carefully thing just how bad you could mess things up and then go even further than that.\nIt's hard to mess things up in the worst way when you're really trying.

I think it is usually acceptable to break the law if, by not breaking it, someone would suffer bodily harm or death. Also, if the law is fundamentally designed to discriminate, I think that at the very least some people need to break it in order to be able to argue against it in the Supreme Court, for example when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.

Well Sharky,\n\nYes there is.\n\nIn fact, in the Hebrew Language, there are not only exceptions to every rule, but rules to govern the exceptions!\n\n-EN-

All of it. It is all under review, and due for a complete overhaul upgrade. Some aspects will be kept similar or the same, but the majority of the rules are expected to change toward more complicated, difficult to understand terms and conditions, allowing more loopholes, even though the authorities claim the purpose is to simplify and make it so anyone can understand. This is a commonplace political tactic used globally, particularly in Western countries, to impede the public understanding and increase control and ability to manipulate the masses for unjust purposes. There is very little you can do about this, now that you know. Sorry.

Yes.  Intentions and actions do not always correspond to each other.

Most of the time they aren't but you have to do what they want or lose their business. It s*ucks but its true.\n\nSometimes they are right, but then you dont feel as annoyed to do what they want!

Yes. There are absolute, eternal laws that exist in the universe. You break them at your own peril.

Under a strict interpretation of the rules: yes, you are right.\n\nBut since rules mean only what they are interpreted to mean, and players play knowing the prevailing interpretation: no, because officials allow that extra step.
