4. that honesty is not always the best policy;
   
   
5. that it's impossible to please everyone, at least one person would be offended...
   
   
6. that flattery gets you further in life;

Code 3!

How does one respect another who may be different from most?

Do you discriminate? Should we respect that they are no different from most of us 'cept for the minor incapabilities and should be treated the same? Or should they be treated more delicately because they are disadvantaged?

What defines a 'norm'?

What if there were more gay people in this world than straight? Would that make you a weirdo if you were straight then?
