Which is better: asking for permission or asking for forgiveness?

Permission of course. Saves me the scolding.

permission if you care about that person, forgiveness if you just wanna do something anyway

Permission

Depends on the situation. If it needs to be done right away, then I wouldn't ask for permission.

Asking for forgiveness and not undermining one's own decision making skill.

better over all? permission. easier? forgiveness.

Forgiveness is *easier* but permission shows much more of a regard for the person.

Mostly forgiveness so you get the pleasure first and are not denied by getting told no

Creative people do what they do because they NEED to.

Both are needed depending on the situation.

Depends really

forgiveness.
always.

forgiveness

Permission

Depends if you know they're going allow you permission. If they're not but it won't ruin your relationship forgiveness

You need to give me a situation and I will answer. It's not a "one answer is always right" case.

Hoping nobody notices and you need not say anything. :)
