Does your sense of honor sometimes offend others?
Morre and more, it seems. Honor is not valued in these United States, it would seem -- maybe in meaningless word, but not in meaningful fact. Get what ya can when ya can, and that's all that matters...

8. Go ahead...make my day
:-)

Kind of sad, really. The whole concept of honor, or at least of trying to behave as honorably as a flawed human can, just seems to have no value here. And, at the same time, the very word is cheapened and rendered almost meaningless by asociation with military adventurism, right-wing ideology, and the rest. :-(

6. No, but Xen's does
Maybe it's just because he's always saying people "should be skinned alive" for being dishonorable...

7. My old boss was OUTRAGED
because I refused to lie to his customers for him. He yelled "What are you? A Priest or something? THIS IS BUSINESS!!"
Asshole. I quit.
