I don't steal, swear, kick people in the nuts etc. etc., but If it comes down to it I will defend myself, my family, friends etc. I just don't stand by and see abuse from assholes and other people alike.

I'm a tad non-plussed when someone who doesn't swear refers to other peoples as 'assholes', but that's as may be.

But enough about you. Let me see...I swear when I feel like it (which is pretty fucking often), I kick people in the nads if 1) they merit it and 2) I can get away with it.

I don't steal, but I would have no moral compunction against doing so in a good cause.

I frequently lie to save other peoples' feelings, I don't lie for personal gain.

I leave other people to themselves as much as their behavior will allow me to do so.

I believe that supermodels and A-list actresses getting their tits out more often is a moral imperative.

That'll do for now.

As an atheist? None of which I'm aware. As a human and member of society, however, I try to live by the maxim of "the right to swing my fist ends at the other person's nose - unless they really, really ask for it."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't think you have morals ticktacka. People that say a**hole simply don't have morals. Especially if they try to cover it up and erase the evidence.

Actually, I didn't erase that chunk of the post in order to erase the evidence. I simply did not want to cause too much commotion, but I see now that erasing it actually caused more commotion than would be expected. :p

In any case, I have suffered too much at the hands of wicked people which is probably why I used that word. A**holes deserve to be called a**holes, period. Actually I was so freakin religious that I was too forgiving even to aholes. Maybe you have not suffered as I have which is why you made that comment :p but I understand.

But you specifically said that you DON'T swear. You're either embarrassingly forgetful or a liar. Which way will you have it?
