Hmmm...
Well, one of the reasons I like it here in SteamPunk Land is the revival of certain concepts that are considered "outdated" outside the confines of our little world. Right and Wrong may be malleable concepts, but this one thing I will posit (though I may be quoting someone else, or misquoting them):
There is a clear and obvious difference between a "mistake" and a violation of what is known to be right.
Remember that, when public figures attempt to pretend that they "made a mistake" - if they say that, instead of apologizing properly, they have only admitted to a miscalculation on the odds of getting caught.
Cheers

A little kindness goes a long way.
Respect yourself, and others will too.
Don't eat strange mushrooms.

Tying a dead christmas tree to your friends leg, then setting it on fire - It may be funny at the time, but it's NOT a good idea...

Don't lie. Unless it's just a bit of fun, example; "I say, there's a zeppelin up there! ... Gotcha old sport!

Stand up for whats right* and for yourself and those who deserve your support.
Learn what berries are good to eat, etc, and about nature and the wild
*What exactly is "right" is very debateable, it differs from person to person.
