What have you lived by your entire life?

[Livianicen]

Never take life seriously! Chances are you only get one.

 

[Cobbs]

I live by being a real 'Mr. Nice Guy' you know the ones that get walked over, taken for granted, other guys think of as gay, and girls think of as not good enough.

But hell I own my own home, business, 2 cars, been married for 2 years, I don't drink, smoke, do any drugs, and I play video games a lot. Mr. Nice Guy finish last? HA! My life isn't even done being good.

I try to follow the exact same nice guy routine, difference being im still in senior school, and i don own two cars

Chivalry and Bushido, here.

It sounds cheesy but, hey, it's my life.

I don't have hiragana for honour tattooed on my wrist for nothing

And, just for fun, a quote from Lewis Black:

"My philosophy is simple. It is this, and only this. If you masturbate 15 times a day, you won't be able to make it out the door."

Since the age of 16 I've lived by Fascist ideals.

And how's that going for you?

Good actually.
Seeing as I rarely have to use them outside political situations.

And we're talking proper, dictator-upholding, Social-Darwinism-endorsing fascism here? Well, to each their own, I guess.

Ironically, refusing to vote would constitute upholding the political tenants of fascism.

You are incorrect.
We think the majority is unfit to govern itself through democracy.
That means we think we are the capable minority.

In other words you are an arrogant bunch who think you are better suited to govern than any majority be it in democratic numbers, scholars and whatever else is thrown at your facist ideals? (Not an insult, rather an remark)

On to topic. I govern my ife on 3 ideals, honor, freedom an logos (when using the term 'logos' i refer to rationality, reason and logic.)

My motto is "Stay crescent fresh."

I'm super cres right now, so it's working out just fine, I suppose.

 

[Nemu]

Nothing, I am an ever-evolving person.

Who I thought I was a year ago, ten years ago, 20 years ago is not who I am now.

Sure, I may be SIMILAR, but as I get older I find that there are more reasons to change than to stay the same.

For example: my teenage self's motto of "I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY MY FRIENDS!" has turned into "I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY MY FRIENDS! (unless one of them beats the fuck out of their kid [footnote] or mother, father, sibling, wife, gf, bf, husband, pet, stranger, who the fuck ever[/footnote] for any reason...)".

That's a pretty good rule to live by.

Since the age of 16 I've lived by Fascist ideals.

Sorry, I find that hard to believe. First, because I'm not convinced at 16 you could articulate them, and would be slightly surprised if you could now.

Why is that?

To be fair, I apologize, your quotes do indicate you mean what you say. It was, and is a joke. The underlying concept of fascism (as you pointed out) is the inability of the masses to choose for themselves. The tone of my post was somewhere along those lines. That is, implying that you were not fit to choose for yourself, and hence, fascist.

Again, defining who is, and isn't the majority is the rub. By not voting one would be in the majority (at least in most American elections), unfit to participate in government, hence, supporting fascism. Again, it's a joke, and I apologize if I've offended you, now that I parsed that out.

(Question is in Subject Title)

My life has been based off protecting my pride. I will never put anything before my pride, not even a girlfriend, because in the end pride is the only thing anyone has left. I do not cry, I do not whine, I do not complain! When something stands in my way, I get rid of it, and when I see a problem...I fucking fix it!

I live by being honest, doing anything for my best friends and I will go out of my way to help the ocassional desperate stranger.

[The Aimless One]

I strive/have ever strived to allways be true to myself and truthfull to others.
Life, to me is about growth/development (in whatever way possible), once you stop doing that you might aswell stop living.

Well, that's what I try to live by anyway. XD

 

[Danzaivar]

We are talking authoritarian, nationalistic, corporatist fascism.

No offence but I find the idea of a fascist Irishman hilarious. Glad it's working out for you tho!

"Just wing it"

I just go with the flow. I'm very good at improvising on the spot, and it tends to lead to less disappointment.

This pretty much goes for me aswell.
