    I got three I try to follow, though admittingly, I don't always follow through all the time:

    1) Be courteous and respectful.

    2) Help others if they ask.

    3) Don't worry, be happy.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Hmmm...some decent ones here.

    A few of mine:
    1. Respect women and don't refer to them as *****, unless treated otherwise.

    2. Don't let negative or angry thoughts get in the way of clear and cool headed thinking.

    3. There is no can't or try. There is can and do.

    4. Be friendly to other people and smile at them, or help them if they have trouble.

    5. Don't be afraid to ask questions or to stand up for yourself or beliefs despite the opposition.

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Re: Pursuit of happiness
    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    One I live by:

    "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man"
    courtesy of Don Vito Corleone from the original Godfather.

    And one I try to:

    "Never attribute to malevolence, that which can be attributed to negligence".
    "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
    Don Vito Corleone: The Godfather, Part 1.

    "Then wait for them and swear to God in heaven that if they spew that bull to you or your family again you will cave there heads in with a sledgehammer"

    Life is Learning, Learning is Life.

    This is not a dress rehearsal.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
