What do you consider to be essentials for a person to be a responsible citizen? Is it a complete education, or is it a healthy lifestyle. I believe a course or two in logic is essential and developing listening skills.

I believe one's greatest responsibility is in raising children to be "better" than one's self.
And what that better is depends on circumstances, friends, upbringing, etc.

The mere fact the guy uses the word "General" in his name, with a Latin American flavor, makes him sound like a proper trained little SOA student.
And they have no credibility anyways.
To get back on track, I think the cornerstone of someone who is repsonsible is someone that accepts their life as it is and believes that it is their job to better their life. Of equal importance is having deep respect, by default, for others unless they prove themselves unworthy of that respect.

Originally posted by generalissimoThis is my point. No, of course I'm not a communist. I am, however, quite dissappointed when people make jokes that attack a person's character when they are based on a ridiculous premise.
c'mon don't be so cruel,

I noticed from your profile that you are a roman catholic. Have you forgotten the 9th commandment? Thou shalt not bear false witness against your brother.

However, I know that there are many people in this forum, who enjoy labeling me a ''redneck'', maybe you should ask them if they had forgotten the 9th commandment.
