The only one I don't do is the last one about not calling people idiots and their ideas dumb and acting like a grown adult. Since I still have a couple of years to go before I'm legally one, though, I'm fine on that one.
Besides, I usually have very cogent reasoning for why people are idiots and their ideas are dumb.
For example, your comparison to the 18th century is dumb. It's based on some semi-romanticized view of 18th century intellectuals who, despite having some decent ideas, were not necessarily superior to any future peoples by any objective measure. No need to be such an Enlightenment fanboy. This makes it look like you're an idiot, you know? Also, you make reference to some Jerry Stringer. I can only understand this as some sort of strawman argument you're trying to make. Fail!
