Where do you draw the line?

I'll never let money or any other shallow thing gets between me and my family and friends.

Killing an animal. I would never take a defenseless animals life.

That's what I was going to say as one of my responses :]. Well this and doing stupid things without a real meaning or purpose to them. Like eat this or do this for say a million dollars. No thanks money is not all that special in this world really. I rather keep my health and sanity than giving those up for money.
 
Going Bald. Staying in Mexico for more than a week. Among a few. Also having to fast on the coke. No.
 
Experimentation on living organisms. I don't believe the end justifies the means in any situation. Cutting corners to save money on raising and selling plants and animals, such as feeding them hormones, using pesticides and giving them the minimal requirements to live. No. Again, not justified, especially not for the sake of money

I won't gamble. I don't care how enticing the odds are, that's another line I just won't cross. I have never liked gambling even when I was a little girl I promised I'd never buy a scratch card or a lottery ticket. Never have.

I won't cheat on my spouse, not even a flirt with another man or woman. The very thought repulses me (that and the thought of being with another man or woman). I have been accused of it before by an ex and that was enough (even though I didn't do anything).

I can't say I won't lie. But I do avoid crossing that line wherever possible. We are human though, sometimes we lie without even realising it. I'm really working on that one to eliminate lying altogether. Lies just bring more trouble than it's worth, that one I learned the hard way from so many lies as a teenager (about where I was going, what I was doing, and overall distrust of my parents). I lie occasionally and I just can't help it when I think of the consequences of telling the truth (for example... I am lying to my parents when I say I have no interest in Islam). Which is a contradiction because lying is a sin in that religion, but they'd go mad if I told the truth and probably take an instant disliking to my best friend as a result! But most of the time it's just fear of short-term consequences of telling the truth. The long term consequences of lying far outweigh that but it's hard to remind yourself of that when you know what kind of short-term hit-storm you're in for if you say the truth.

I could go on but I'd start to annoy people so I'll leave it at that.
 
Abortion is the biggest no no for me. I'd never have one, I would never recommend one, and never support the whole case. Feel free to look at me funny for it, but that's where the line is drawn.

Being intentionally hurtful to someone, even if they deserve it. I'm way too nice. *sweatdrop*

Yes, yes, and yes. All of the above for me, though I generally don't take as much of a proactive role in preventing these sort of things. The outrage is more internal.
 
I would never take someone's life or be hurtful towards to anyone. I am just too nice. I don't know what being mean is.

Or do anything to disappoint my family. I want to do good and make them proud. That is why I am going back to college and finish. Because they wanted me to finish, but I didn't make it happen. So I am going to try!
