What kind of Morals were you taught when you was growing up? I have learned to respect Elders and Adults. To say Please and Thank You and say that I am sorry when I do something Rude or not right.

To always be honest and truthful and to treat others with respect and kindness.

Coffeecup · 08-28-2005, 10:48 PM

Not to use foul language. It just shows no class.

- Get in fights if you don't get your way
- Disrespect everyone you feel is beneath you
- Swear in polite company
- Steal things
- Lie as often as possible

i learned a lot of them by being chewed out or hit with a hairbrush after doing something i didn't know was wrong. but i was pretty much taught all of them needed to be known although i didn't instictively believe in them right away, and still don't see the real need to follow some of them (ie not swearing). the only moral i learned on my own that was against everything i'd been taught was not to judge gay people. i spent a long time trying not to think of them differently but eventually i was able to come to my own senses.

My mother was always telling me to wait till I was married before having sex. Needless to say, I didn't listen to her.

I was raised in a large, strict, not to mention highly impulsive Irish-Catholic family. That was a moral taught to me at a young age as well. Did I follow it? Of course not.

As I mentioned above, my family is strict. A lot of my older relatives (Great Aunts/Uncles, grandparents, etc.) have a thing about the grandkids marrying anyone who is not white or Catholic, meaning Asian, African-American, Latino, Jewish, Muslim, etc. My cousin brought home an Asian kid and my grandfather almost flipped. I do not condone ANY of that belief at all. People are people, no matter what your skin colour is.

To tell the truth even if it gets you into more trouble.

Max Whittaker · 08-29-2005, 10:33 PM

I'm still growing up. I'm not done growing. If I live to be 93, I hope to still be growing. So this is some of the things I've learned so far:

To respect one another.

Eye contact

There are only a few truly evil people in this world. The rest are weak, desperate, misled or completely mad.

Understanding is a three edged blade. Your side, my side, and the truth.

Life is meaningless without nature.

And that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

More to come, as I remember them.

Oh, and of course The quotes in my signature

I was taught something called manners and common courtesy ..some might not recognize those words

ABlairican Pie · 08-30-2005, 12:23 AM

Not to slay Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey.

Not to ask whether meat being served to you has been sacrificed to idols.

Not to ask whether a person is "of Paul" or "of Apollos".

And something I learned from Steve Martin is the ethicality of whether it wa right to yell "MOVIE!!" in a crowded firehouse....
