Every society has "stupid" social rules. India used to have the caste system where your where born into a certain leval and it was pretty much impossible to move up. At least in American there is a possibility of moving up in social rank, through fame or money. No matter where you go in the world there is a generally the upper, middle, and lower classes. Because todays society is more open, these classes have all began to intermingle, making it much easier to move up and down the social ladder.
We have social rules, because thats all life is...rules. We expect certain types of people to behave certain ways. Its all right for the top tier to behave recklassly (drinking, partying, sex), but if the average middle-class American did that we would all be wondering what the world was coming to.
Social rules and classes suck, but they are a fact of life we are just going to have to except it.

What I think is so strange about American society. It that what is sociably acceptable is not the case when it comes to our laws. I feel the two should be compatible. It is is against the law then it should not be sociably acceptable. We govern our law makers so I think we should take a good look a who we choose to make our laws. For instance a election year is upon us. Just wait to see what kind of thing the media will pull up on what people running for office has done in the past. If they weren't running for office no one would care. But since they are they will never be forgiven for a mistake they made in the past. I think this is wrong.

I agree there are stupid rules, but rules in general are necessary and have a purpose. If you can't recognize any useful or necessary rules then you are menace to society. No, you can't decide which rules suck.
Sociopaths think just like you: "rules suck" or "rules don´t apply to me". Then they go out and shoot anyone. What are your plans for next week?

American society's social rules suck because they were created by rich white people who one day wanted to make every one below them either realize that they aren't "acceptable" in sombody's eyes. So if you have a problem with society's rules, then blow them off and create your own!

You decide what sucks - it is centuries of people that have set the rules
