1) Survive in good health.
2) Reproduce; but not to the extent of overpopulation and the detrimental effects thereof.
3) Learn about this Earth / Universe in whichever field(s) of study best suits you.
4) Work smart and efficiently, but a little hard work now and again is probably a good thing too.
5) Be happy, keep a good sense of humour and enjoy the pursuits of life (recreation).
6) Try to get along with others. If you can't get along, graciously walk away or try to negotiate a mutually agreeable separation
(friendship, family, love and property, etc.).
7) Be charitable, but not to the point of dependency (A hand up is better than a hand-out).
8) Do not impose your beliefs on others. Healthy discussion / debate is allowable.
9) Live within your means. Try to live a moderate life. Do not overindulge.
10) Be honest with yourself and others. Be polite and courteous with others.
11) Conserve energy and resources. Limit your use of plastics.
12) Be respectful of the natural environment. Do your part to prevent / control the spread of exotic and invasive flora and fauna. Encourage natural biodiversity.
13) Do not submit to corruption and criminal intent.
14) Use violence only in cases of self-defense, last resort or pre-emptive measures.
15) Make a plan. (For all applicable points above).
16) I freely admit that I have not fullfilled all of the above (to the letter), but that I try to do my best.
Any person is welcome to challenge the Rules, by making additions, deletions, improving upon or otherwise modifying the content.
HOWEVER, this MUST be done in a manner that is UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTABLE to ALL persons. This would then be voted upon by majority consensus.
You are also welcome to try to write a better set of Rules, but I then expect an opportunity to challenge them.
I do not wish to challenge this set of rules.
I would add: remember the sabbath and keep it holy, but I fear I will be called a brain dead idiot. *see rule 5b.
Will you explain your objection to the use of isms and ists to me?
I apologise if I had called you a "brain-dead idiot" in contravention to Rule #10. In my own defence, I will cite Rules #16 & #5. Once again, my humblest apologies.
Unfortunately, there are many persons in this world who do not know about this religious observance or who have other religious beliefs or who are not religious.
Furthermore, what you had stated could be easily and ambiguously construed to refer to the popular musical group, "Black Sabbath".
There are also now numerous commercial concerns which no longer hold this observance.
You are welcome to make this observation yourself, but this should be a personal preference and not imposed on others.
The use of -ists and -isms contribute to the creation of division in society. These are inventions that often lead to argumentative behaviours.
Further to this, they also contribute to stagnation of thought and learning. They change the context of conversation and often people make uninformed declarations because of this.
Perhaps, we should include this as an amendment to the Rules?
Is it normal that i want to purposely get into a fight?
