Your 10 Commandments

[Mr. Google]

What are your 10 commandments that you think everyone should abide to? Mine are as follows.
1. Always tell the truth if someone asks you directly. Unless it's your parents in which case lie to protect your own ass.
2. If you text someone and they don't seem to respond after you say hi for the first time then stop texting them they don't want to talk to you and if they did they would text you first. (Also works for tweeting @ and facebook messaging/wall posting/commenting on their statuses)
3. If someone doesn't like you then move on with your life, there are better things to worry about.
4. Rejection is better than wondering what if
5. Never text and drive. It's stupid and you will die. (Also it absconds you from getting into the Jarred Afterlife which is a total downer)
6. If you always have a song stuck in your head than life can only be so boring.
7. Strangers are one pointless conversation away from being a new friend
8. Don't try and change someones view on something without proof. Like really good proof too.
9. No matter what happens life goes on and if it ends then it's over and we'll all find out who was right in the end.
10. Stay in drugs, Don't do school, and always always, listen to your grandparents. (If you get that reference ill love you)


Edit: Seriously guys this isnt about circumcision. Please move your flame war somewhere else this is supposed to be a fun thread.

Never lie to those you care for.
Only associate with those you care for.
Always think of others above yourself.
Prioritizing things for yourself is fine, but equalize it with priorities for others.
Never say something without every intention and plan to do it.
Vulgar behavior is unnecessary, if angry it is acceptable but only for a short time.
Relationships are about trust and connection; sex comes later.
Violence is an ends to everything but not a means to anything.
Intelligence is the focus, always give someone a chance, but forget nothing.
Forgiveness is a lie, just move on.

Nice liking that! especially number 6

Well, if I make a commandment saying:

Everyone should be who they wish to be and never question others who do the same.

Aren't I then instigating them to be more like me and therefore I broke my own commandment?

In any case, that's the only one I could possibly come up with. I don't plan nor wish to run other people's lives and advocate freedom. Of course I'm not saying I'm better than anyone, don't go quoting me about that now.

If I didn't lie to those I care for I'd probably be less cared for and therefore I'd care less about them. Lying is a natural behavior and quite useful in maintaining friendly or romantic relationships.

Only associate those I care for? That's making people entirely one dimensional. If I happen to like someone because they are very intelligent yet they drink up a storm (which I do not care for) then what do I do?

Number three is silly. I'm sorry but if it's my life or yours you best be damn sure you are going to die first.

Four is okay I guess.

Wait...If I say I'm going to kill someone I can only do so if I plan to commit the act? That commandment seems to only instigate a lack of sarcasm which means less humor. I oppose that entirely.

Well you have to define "vulgar behavior" then. Some people are fine with the word "Damn" but "Fuck" is just too vulgar. Wouldn't a better commandment to be to grow up about things offending you as nobody but you care?

What if the relationship is just casual and therefore involves casual sex? Some people (not me personally) want to just fuck (being that it's human nature), and therefore don't want to reveal their insides before getting jiggy with it. You state to always think of others before yourself but you aren't thinking about others who just want sex. You're derping!

Actually violence is a means to control and death. See: The Crusades, Slavery, every serial killer ever, etc.

Some people just aren't genetically capable of being intelligent. Basing the idea that intelligence means the following: How fast one can absorb and apply new information. Many humans are not capable of this due to mental illness or just a plain mental lack of intelligence. We're all built differently.

Forgiveness is actually a powerful force and provides care. Which is odd that you say it's a lie when you want us to care about others. It's a means of expression, not a signed contract, sure. This doesn't make forgiveness a lie, maybe just a convenience.

My commandments are what I live by and will always live by. They can be followed, quite easily in fact.

If you care for someone it means you don't want bad things to happen to them and want good things to instead and will (by focusing on others) do your post to facilitate that when opportunities avail themselves or may be created. So if you dislike something they do, then you've got to be pretty shallow to suddenly stop caring about them. There are very very few exceptions and even then, if you care you treat them well and associate with them, if you stop for some reason, then you don't. But don't EVER associate with someone you don't care for, it will lead to nothing in the future but problems. Hanging out and the like is reserved for those you care for, interactions and conversations FIRST then you decide if you care for them. Follow that rule and it will save you so much pain.

The statements make sense, and the focus on others is for their better benefit (in a non selfish means) not what they THINK is for their better benefit. So the sex thing is illogical. Also, casual relationships are unacceptable in sexual relations because it's not a relationship and you've focused too heavily on something in the beginning and thus have a high likelihood of making it rely on that too much.

Intelligence is the focus, means making decisions with a priority on intelligent decisions or using knowledge for conducive means.

Forgiveness is a lie, it never is truly done and it leads to obsessions. Just move on.

Violence ends things but it doesn't create things.

There is no such thing as a manatee.

Don't cut off baby foreskins. I really can't overstate this.

That sound that styrofoam makes when you rub it together? Don't make that sound.

[BOOM headshot65]

Oh, sweet (warning, long post incomeing):

1.The golden RULE is really the golden LAW.

2.You only "sleep" with someone after you are married. However, if it is just you are sitting on couch, she/he falls asleep on your shoulder, so you do too, that is fine.

3.Being Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transexual is totally fine. There is NO reason for the hate you guys/gals are getting.

4.ALL religions (with the exception of extremist cults like the Taliban) are TRUE. God didn't set aside Heavon for JUST christians, or JUST jews, he is presenting himself differently to different people. The only people excluede are truely evil people, like Hitler.

5.Respect autroity. Police and the Military are your friends, not your enemy.

6.When we said "never again" on genocide, we should have meant "NEVER AGAIN!!!"

7.If you cant stand behind soldiers, you are welcome to stand in front of them.

8.Videogames do NOT make you a murderer. They said the same thing about Rock N' Roll, Comic Books, Movies,....

9.Marriage should be honored, above all things. You start dating with the intent of marrying that person, and when married, you stay together, through thick and thin. When you get to Heavon, you will spend eternaty with your spouse. Your soulmate.

10.Wether you are Black, White, Yellow, Red, purple, man, or woman, we all bleed red. Racism and sexism are appaling and should be completly abolished.

 

[ZeroMachine]

1. "Lies should only be spoken or acted upon if someone's safety is at risk. Lies shouldn't be a constant thing. Pro tip: Even little white lies are lies."

2. "Nothing can be truly KNOWN. Only BELIEVED. But, if you're going to say you know something for the sake of an intelligent debate, make sure it's something you can back up with fact. No, you don't know that Jesus is the son of God and died for your sins. You believe it. That's the beauty of faith."

3. "Speaking of faith, two things:
First, learn to separate faith from religion. I know many people of faith that are not religious, and I know many religious people who do not truly believe in their religion.
Second, for your own sake and the sake of others, question your faith. Have a crisis. Cause it yourself. Ask why. Pick at the details. Pick everything apart. If, after all the questions and answers (or non-answers) you still believe, only THEN is your faith a strong as it can be."

4. "'Because' is not an answer. Ever. If anyone tries to pass it off as one, look them straight in the eyes and ask 'because why?' There is a reason for everything, even if we haven't found it yet."

5. "Education isn't all about reading books. It's about learning how to analyze a situation and come up with the best possible solution. After all, who is more useful? The man that can neatly, securely, and efficiently fill out an accounting spread sheet, or the man that makes sure that spread sheet's numbers are all good?"

6. "Do not ignore stereotypes. They exist for a reason. But, all the same, judge each person separately, on their own merits. Only judge them as their stereotype when they've proven to fit it."

7. "Creativity, entertainment, and humor are as vital to the human race as the ideas of love, sex, money, food, and leadership. Without those occasional escapes from reality or those great laughs, we'd all go insane."

8. "There is a paper thin line between confidence and arrogance. If you can back up your talk, it's confidence. If not, it's arrogance. And if you're proven that it's arrogance, don't piss and moan and cry. Work to turn it into confidence. And if you can't, find what you're truly good at, and have confidence in that."

9. "Life isn't about going with the system or going against it. Following the rest of society to the letter is foolish, as is rebelling for the sake of rebelling. Always in moderation. Follow society when there isn't anything wrong with it, but when there is something wrong, or something could be better, don't sit back and say 'well, such is life'. Push back. Try and make your world a better place. If you can help one other person by doing so, you should be proud. But, for humanity's sake, if you're going to protest something, you best be damn sure you're educated about it."

10. "Above all else, humans need each other. I was going to have a long paragraph explaining my reasoning, but it just didn't come out right. So I'll just leave it with this: never think you have to face something alone. Never be afraid to ask for help."

[adragonofgold]

I just have one.
"Dont be a dick."

 

[sms_117b]

Mine are quite simple, though not perfect, only 25, lots of mistakes yet to be made yet

1. Enjoy life, you only get one, what's the point in hating it?

2. Be polite, usually it comes back around.

3. Important conversations in a relationship must be done face to face, texting, messaging and to an extent phonecalls arn't enough, important non-verble responces don't translate well.

4. Don't bring up past events in an argument, no point.

5. A promise is a measure of a man, don't make one you can't keep (12 years since I broke a promise, don't make many though)

6. Every previous (or estranged) friendship is worth at least one atempt at reviving.

7. People do move on, don't take it too much to heart (regarding 6).

8. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. (cookie for reference, +1 internet for the reply)

9. When you remember something, remember everything, here is a reason it just came to you. (For eample, one painful memory, one of the greatest moments of my life, I can remember the feeling of a bead of sweat rolling down my face, the rate and depth of my breath, the feeling that I have done something incredible and it picks me up so much).

10. When you feel down look in the mirror and say "I am [insert name here], I AM awesome and today will be a good day"

 

[ZeroMachine]

I just have one.
"Dont be a dick."

It's a damn fuckin' shame how many people don't follow that rule.

 

[Cpu46]

1. No matter what you do, don't be an asshole.
2. Do your best to diffuse a situation, no matter what the situation is
3. Remember that silence can be both louder and more scathing than your most impressive scream or rant
4. Nothing heals better than a hug unless its for lacerations or a contagious disease. Use bandages and hazmat suit respectively.
5. If it comes down to a fight don't leave with any less than they take
6. Drinking till you can't remember the previous night defeats the purpose of drinking in the first place.
7. There is no reason to hate someone for something they do in private.
8. Treat friends like you would your family, defend them like you would yourself.
9. Flying by the seat of your pants is not an option, it is a lifestyle.
10. Pain will fade with time as long as you tend the wound, ignoring it does nothing but harm.

Um...heedful of potential consequences; "circumspect actions"; "physicians are now more circumspect about recommending its use"; "a discreet investor"

Yes, I can see the issue of not being circumspect about things.


Circumcision does prevent certain things but the benefits are so very minimal and is preventing issues that often do not occur.

http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/menshealth/facts/circumcision.htm

The majority of men are not circumcised nowadays.

http://www.nocircpa.org/4642.html

And before you say I'm some biased person, I'm circumcised myself. At the time I was born doctors were still apparently preaching for it. My parents were doing what they thought was best or at least that's what they told me. I believe they would not harm me unnecessarily so me being circumcised was done by them for the intention of my benefit.

Wrong place, wrong time I'm afraid.

Let's think about this practically. Men are already embarrassed about their genitalia size and aspects due to all the propaganda going around and now you want them to have to constantly gauge and meticulously care for their area by scrubbing making sure the foreskin is not infected, and making sure dirt NEVER gets in it? Do you know how much you're going to add to the maintenance?

Also, it's a religious thing, and you are NEVER going to succeed at removing that, and I STILL haven't met someone who isn't circumsized. You have some issues if you're going to think that it's BETTER to not be circumsized. What is this, REVERSAL of progress?

Dumb red spelling error line transitions it to circumspect.
