Honour!

Vampire Knight Zero
28-10-2008, 20:53
In my life, I have always followed a personal code of honour. Do you think it is important to behave by a code? Do you like people who treat everyone with respect? Or am I just being charmingly naive as usual? :p

My code:

-Treat all who deserve it with respect
-Protect those whom you care about
-Be a gentleman when it comes to love
-Do not allow my loved ones to feel pain, protect and watch over them
-If needs be, lay down my life for my loved ones
-Always be charming and polite.

Am I a good person, or one in a million? I open the floor to satire. :D

Do you think it is important to behave by a code?
- Honesty to fault of oneself.
- Punctuality. Always.
- Honor your word by honoring your commitments.
- Be responsible for your own actions.

I have a code of honor but it adapts from time to time... no real written rules. If someone is going to use my usual code of honor against me for instance... it kinda goes out the window. I play dirty when I have to

This code is only as good as the criteria for "who deserves respect", "why you care about someone" and to a degree who you love (e.g. one might decide that only members of your country deserve respect, you might care about or love a mass-murdering psychopath)

Agree on the charming and polite bit of course.

Also, if you care about a lot of people, you're going to be a busy bunny looking over and protecting them all!

The Goofballian Code:

-Don't laugh at other people's misfortunes if you're unwilling to laugh at your own.
-The hungry, the homeless and the destitute can't laugh. As an entertainer, I have a vested interest in in the welfare of my fellow man.
-Comfort the Disturbed. Disturb the comfortable.
-Take nothing seriously that cannot be made better by doing so.
-Know the difference between an opinion and a perspective.
-Don't piss off the cat.
-Ignorance is NOT bliss.

I treat most people (all if I were a better person) with a standard level of respect, not because of who they are, but because of the type of person I want to be.

I guess the house rules would substitute for a code of conduct


be honest
don't touch it if it's not yours
don't break anything
keep your hands, feet, and all other objects to yourself
clean up your messes

"You are who you choose to be" sums up the guiding criterion of my standard of honor; I don't think it breaks down explicitly into a code. Rather, it's just an attempt on my part to make sure I do right by others, act for my own betterment, and make sure that when sacrifice is necessary, do it for the right reason.

Alternate post:

Rules to live by:

Life is not as difficult as people think; all one needs is a good set of rules. Since it is probably too late for you, here are some guidelines to pass along to your children.

1. Relax and take it easy. Don't get caught up in hollow conceits such as "doing something with your life." Such twaddle is outmoded and a sure formula for disappointment.

2. Whatever it is you pursue, try to do it just well enough to remain in the middle third of the field. Keep your thoughts and ideas to yourself and don't ask questions. Remember, the squeaky wheel is the first one to be replaced.

3. Size people up quickly, and develop rigid attitudes based on your first impression. If you try to delve deeper and get to "know" people, you're asking for trouble.

4. Don't fall for that superstitious nonsense about treating people the way you would like to be treated. It is a transparently narcissistic approach, and may be the sign of a weak mind.

5. Spend as much time as you can pleading and impressing others, even if it makes you unhappy. Pay special attention to shallow manipulators who can do you the most harm. Remember, in the overall scheme, you count for very little.

6. Surround yourself with inferiors and losers. Not only will you look good by comparison, but they will look up to you, and that will make you feel better.

7. Don't buy into the sentimental notion that everyone has shortcomings; it's the surest way of undermining yourself. Remember, the really best people have no defects. If you're not perfect, something is wrong.

8. If by some off chance you do detect a few faults, first, accept the fact that you are probably deeply flawed. Then make a list of your faults and dwell on them. Carry the list around and try to think of things to add. Blame yourself for everything.

9. Beware of intuition and gut instincts, they are completely unreliable. Instead, develop preconceived notions and don't waver unless someone tells you to. Then change your mind and adopt their point of view. But only if they seem to know what they're talking about.

10. Never give up on an idea simply because it is bad and doesn't work. Cling to it even when it is hopeless. Anyone can cut and run, but it takes a very special person to stay with something that is stupid and harmful.

11. Always remember, today doesn't count. Trying to make something out of today only robs you of precious time that could be spent daydreaming or resting up.

12. Try to dwell on the past. Think of all the mistakes you've made, and how much better it would be if you hadn't made them. Think of what you should have done, and blame yourself for not doing so. And don't go easy. Be really hard on yourself.

13. If by chance you make a fresh mistake, especially a costly one, try to repeat it a few times so you become familiar with it and can do it easily in the future. Write it down. Put it with your list of faults.

14. Beware also of the dangerous trap of looking ahead; it will only get you in trouble. Instead, try to drift along from day to day in a meandering fashion. Don't get sidetracked with some foolish "plan."

15. Finally, enjoy yourself all the time, and do whatever you want. Don't be seduced by that mindless chatter going around about "responsibility." That's exactly the sort of thing that can ruin your life.

I don't have a code of honour because I'm not 12 and as such have already crushed any sense of pride or self respect I have in me

but for the funneh:

1) check for danger (the most important person is you...or me:confused:)
2) check for response through calling out and such (you are never alone)
3) get patient to tell you whats wrong (people are inherently parasitic and will want you to deal with everything if your not careful)
4) push edges of cut together to stem blood flow (act now think about ethics later)
5) lie patient down and place injury above heart (following your heart could kill you or leave you without a kidney in Romania)

Do you think it is important to behave by a code?
In a sense. Moral codes (which I for the moment assume to be synonymous with your intended "Code of Honour") exist to make ethical decisions easier - a function which is simultaneously both absolutely essential in decision-making for which consequence is uncertain and totally reprehensible if carried out in lieu of a deliberate and concerted effort to evaluate an action's consequences both immediate and long-term. You need them, but you should also distrust them.

I do think, however, that Honour is a fundamentally misguided concept. My Honour, in as much as it represents my standing in the opinion of others, is an arbitrary and worthless construct. What I am interested in is people (or the world, or reality as a whole, but People as regards interaction with people). My engagements with others are not serving to enhance some property or possession; I partake of them because I want to contribute and help, not because I want to have been seen to have helped and contributed.

Allow me to contribute my code, in as much as such a thing exists, consisting of the following:

1) Do not lose faith in the ability of things to become better.
2) Do not assume that that faith is enough for things to become better.
3) Do not allow that which causes harm to continue unchallenged.
4) Do not think of anyone as an enemy or a tool.
5) Do not sacrifice others for the greater good.
6) Do not bear grudge or demand punishment of anyone.
7) Do not value property over another's well-being.
8) Do not allow illusion to dictate understanding.
9) Do not presume to know how a person thinks.
10) Do not demand gossip as part of the process of advice giving.
11) Do not forget; people need time to themselves sometimes.

* Do not impose a rule or pass a judgement you could not live up to.
* Be honest to your superiors, but don't use it as a weapon to beat to beat others.
* Protect and aid those beneath and beside you.
* Do what what the situation demands for everyone, not for yourself.
* Always work for something greater than your next wage slip.
* Look out for and look after your children, your siblings, your parents and friends.
* Remember those who went before you in your family and in your field. Respect what they did well and honour it.
* Do not judge unless you are in the situation yourself.
* Let small things run off your back. If you're not bleeding, and you'll still eat tonight it's not that serious. Deal with it.
* Always consider others.
* Always remember your place in the scheme of things, it's responsibilities, it's obligations and it's rights. Live up to them.
* Think more, question to clarify, not to trap. Speak sparingly.

(Purely personal codes below...)
* You live, eat and drink to serve something which will never repay you materially as long as you live. Stop wingeing and deal with it.
* "Someone pulled the passenger alarm" is not a valid excuse.
* A cold does not justify sub-standard work. It is dishonourable to you and that which you serve.

Every one of us lives our lives by some personal code or other. A word about your's though, on the surface it all seems nice and honorable, but also a little controling.

How can you ensure that your loved ones never feel pain? You can't is the anwer to that one.

In laying down your life for a loved one, do you not take away the same choice from them?

Nope mine differs from yours. I want to live my life exactly how I see fit, and I may change my mind or my ways when ever I desire to do so. In living my life this way, it would be hypocritcal of me to deny the same to others. That in a nut shell is it.

So if my wife or my boys decide to protect me, even to the end of laying down their lives, then I'll not interfere in their free choice, as I would wish the same treatment from them.

The first part is true, though I beg to differ on the second. Some people will only act honourably to look good or out of fear, others will do it because it is the right thing. Surely someone here has done something because they felt it was the right thing to do, not only because of fear or the law or to show off to others?

Clearly you forget... We are the British. We borrowed (with every intent to return, honest...) EVERYTHING, including spelling. Except America. Damn Colonials.

I don't have a specific code that I live by, but I try to be a gentleman, use clean language, treat others with respect, and stand by my friends and family.

I also like British accents. Things are either funnier or cooler when said in a British accent. If you disagree, then you can take it up with Spike (http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CSF/220-343~Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-Posters.jpg).

In my life, I have always followed a personal code of honour. Do you think it is important to behave by a code? Do you like people who treat everyone with respect? Or am I just being charmingly naive as usual? :p

My code:

-Treat all who deserve it with respect
-Protect those whom you care about
-Be a gentleman when it comes to love
-Do not allow my loved ones to feel pain, protect and watch over them
-If needs be, lay down my life for my loved ones
-Always be charming and polite.

Am I a good person, or one in a million? I open the floor to satire. :D

While I rarely spell it out as you have, I suppose I do have a bit of a code of honor.

The first and foremost one is to never betray those I love or turn my back on them. Another is that I believe, personally, that to love someone is to be willing to lay everything on the line for them. An offense against my family or friends is an offense against me, though there's a bit of grey area here when I'm friends with two people who hate each other. In general I try to treat those around me with respect and even assume that strangers deserve my respect until they demonstrate that they don't. This expresses itself in several ways, but an example is that I'll hold the door for people walking behind me, even if I have to wait a couple seconds for them to get there. And of course, one of the most important parts of my personal code, that other parts tie into, is that I want to be the man that my ladyfriend deserves.

So your debate is to accuse the entire UK of being drunk? Gee, thanks a lot. What a thrilling debate.

just pointing out that your language has been ruined by the drunks you tolerate so well.

Mostly the drunks. for instance if i didn't have spell and grammar checks on my browser you'd not be able to read what i right at all. Because I am trashed.

It's cause you don't feel pain and you have a bit of the dutch courage in you so you are more willing to resort to violence then when sober. Just like those bastards at the pub Saturday night, I'm glad I have a couple of huge guys as my friends.

Aye, it's good times. I vary between 'vary propar' (normally) and 'pretty scottish' (after speaking to anyone Scottish for 3 seconds or so, this sticks for weeks). Both very serviceable accents.

I had a mate come down from Scotland for a few days last week(we got drunk) he moved up there, from London, 6 years back.

It was strange to hear his accent but with a Scottish inflection on certian words. And he can't say yes, or yeah any more at all, it's aye!
