"They are people who do anti social things that are seen openly as going against the norm of the general population of our society." - You seem to be saying that the general population of our society is a group worth copying. It is precisely the rejection of normal society that my generation seeks to convey. I do not see the average adult as someone to emulate. Society at large seems to have survived simply by serendipidy and the leadership of a brilliant few. Tell me why I should accept conventional values, and I'll cease to be anti-social. Until then, I'm looking into finding a purveyor of fine neon hair dyes. "n the real world if given a choice would you choose to have open heart surgery by a doctor who looked and acted like Pat Robertson or by someone they looked and acted like Pee Wee Herman?" - Are we talking about the same Pat Robertson that once said, "The feminist agenda . . . is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, and become lesbians?" In that case, I hope my condition is not serious, I'd have to operate on myself. I know a lot of women, nearly all of whom consider themselves feminists and only one of them practices witchcraft. :-) "Perhaps this strict enforcement of adhering to the private schools social norm is the reason for the private school systems great success rate in graduating a superior class of student." - Do you have any real evidence that private schools produce a superior class of students? I haven't seen any.
