don't force others to behave only in productive and profitable ways.
but you see it every day from the hours of 9 AM to 5 PM. Wage slavery.
reverse engineer software using your own tools and expertise.
if you have the knowledge and the will, you'd be betraying yourself not to pursue your own projects. Yeah, maybe it's illegal, but so are lockpicks, and it makes very little sense from a practical standpoint.
play violent video games
better shooting off heads on a TV than in the street.
read enemy propaganda
it's status as "propaganda" might just be propaganda.
don't shoplift at mom-and-pop small businesses
you're literally taking food out of the mouths of hte people tending the place, unlike stealing from say, a Wal-Mart, whose employees you know will get paid regardless of what happens there.
don't encourage others not to have an abortion
people are vulnerable when trying to make this decision; You shouldn't try to sway them one way or another, just support them in what they choose.
don't prevent two men from marrying each other
two gay men living happily together is better than two gay men who are oppressed by the religious status quo.
apply to yourself the same standards you apply to others
if you didn't, you'd be quite the hypocrite/manipulator, but if you look at it a certain way, we all inadvertantly are anyway.
don't mention a really good test score when you know your friend did badly
humility is a good trait to learn, whether you have a reason to exercise it or not.
don't Give away your pet to a shelter becase it is too much of a nausence
chicken or the egg? Whoever does this is a crappy owner, whether because of this or evident in this.
don't be an atheist, but pretend to be a theist around your family so you don't upset them
you don't have to live a lie to find a compromise; If your family rejects you for your beliefs, they're a pretty crappy family.
pretend to be a sexy woman while internet chatting
who's trolling the internet for girls anyway? How do you know if anything's real? I could just be a machine generating this script.
create propaganda
reality is subjective; We can't find the truth by denying free speech. Everything you hear is propaganda, as it shapes your worldview.
prefer loneliness to the company of others
not everyone's an extrovert. A lot of people are quite okay being by themselves, and there's nothing wrong with living the way that you feel best about, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
drop acid
impurities (inherent in it's illegality) aside, it's provne to be a wonder drug that has a lot of positive effects on ones mental health if taken in the right dosage and in the right setting.
don't steal a car
if someone stole my car, I'd be pretty pissed, and I'd send the cops, mercenaries, and the hounds of hell themselves after them.
don't place importance on virginity
people end up setting themselves up for sexual awkwardness and everyone begins to wonder how good someone else might be after their first time.
upload sexy pics of yourself to the web
it's something you take responsibility for, inherent in doing.
don't lump the whole spectrum of human possibility into two choices
Maybe you can find extreme opposites, but the whole spectrum involves the delicate play between the relative position of everything between two extremes.
don't prevent others from having an abortion
its their body, their right to do what they want with it. I can argue about the sanctity of life, but a child is also a parasite until they're out of the womb on their own.
don't steal an OEM CD-ROM of Windows XP
at that point, you aren't just dealing with intellectual property but the wages of everyone involved in pressing the cds and shipping them.
burn a copy of Windows XP
the right to make backups are in the Fair Use doctrine.
don't legislate morality
you would require a standard of morality to get everyone to adhere to, and there just isn't one that works without taking away personal freedom.
don't eat your own feces
if my body had any use for it, I wouldn't be excreting it.
kill yourself
a person has a right to decide to not go on living, but we should still try to prevent it as much as possible.
don't kill a spider
I believe that the source of consciousness is undivided, and that divinity can be found in all living things, no matter how icky or dangerous.
don't kill President Bush
as much as I hate the bastard for how he's lowered the quality of life for all of America, no one "deserves" death.
create art
human expression needs to be supported, not suppressed.
don't use psychiatric drugs
the medical industry doesn't even understand the cause of undesireable behaviors. Psychiatric drugs go more in the way of chemically labotomizing us rather than "correcting a chemical imbalance."
do drugs
it's my body and my right to choose what goes in it.
don't do hard drugs if I have children to support
it's a parent's responsibility to take care of their children and not give in to dangerous escapism.
