while reading through timethiefs discussion on "the evil" i started wondering how do you tell the good guys?

i´ve stumbled across this site * capetownnews.co.za/2007/10/05/how-do-you-tell-the-good-guys-from-the-bad-gu...

and found the following list:

To demonstrate that you are in authority, and worthy of that trust you must:

* Always accept the bad person’s surrender and not harm them
* Never, under any circumstances, impose the death penalty on any person
* Never beat anyone who is not resisting or who has ceased resisting your arrest
* Never, no matter what, subject anyone to torture
* Never withhold food, water and medical care from those in your captivity
* Never use landmines or cluster munitions
* Never indiscriminately attack areas where civilian casualties are likely
* Never seek to kill the enemy, rather seek to neutralise the threat
* Never give up on diplomatic efforts to resolve issues

1) which criterias meet your standards?
2) which not?
3) how do you distinguish the good guys from the bad guys in your life?
4) do you "unteach bad" - how?

yours :-)
i´ll be more watching than moderating this thread - it´s you who leads.
