So I boiled all ethical/moral systems down to two basic rules.

 

Rule number one (it should be familiar to most people)-

 

Do unto others as you would have them do unto yourself.

 

Rule number two-

 

Don't be a dick.

 

Rule number two is a necessary modifier for rule number one, as you can live by rule number one and still be a complete a-hole. In so much as you can think "Well if somebody did that to me I'd do this to them."

 

I myself catch myself in violation of rule number two on a regular basis, as it is easy to violate rule number two when someone else is violating it against you.

 

Anyway, discuss/ignore amongst yourselves.

Agreed, but at times rule number 2 becomes a necessity in order to reinforce rule number 1.

Interesting thread, but both your rules are essentially the same.

 

1. Bacon

 

2. Cheesecake

1) Always have a towel.

2) Don't panic.


 

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

1. Never blindly accept anything. Question Question Question

2. Just because someone is in authority over you does not make them better or smarter than you.
