Thats going in your record.
Don't even think of thinking of asking for a reference.
Or else we will hire you back in order to fire you again.

All disputes should be settled by fighting it out with 30 pound codfish as weapons.

Nothing about these suggestions jolts idealism into reality. These are basic 'live and let live' guidelines that ought to be common sense (and are, for anyone with any common sense). If you're dealing with individuals, these rules are great. But societies do not function on a strictly individual level. People associate, form alliances, hold grudges, and seek power. That is the nature of human civilization. These rules do not account for the fact that people will never stop the bullshit and drop the weapons and just live peacefully. That is never going to happen.
Furthermore, these rules do lack any form of enforcement. The only way you would get enough people to enforce these rules on themselves to even come anywhere near making this viable, would be making a religion out of it. And we've seen what happens when we try that.
These rules, and any variation of them, are always doomed to being empty and powerless to effect any real change in the world, because they operate from the patently false assumption that people are good to each other by default. People are, by default, complete assholes.

I'll have you know that a 30 pound codfish to the face is quite a jolt.
