Don't sweat about what's not important.
See rule one.
See rule two.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Oh, and I don't follow the rules and sometimes get incredibly stressed or upset about the most minor things.

1) Keep your powder dry
2) Never give them your real name
3) If nobody saw it, it didn't happen
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

My first two are the same as yours. My third rule is to deny, deny, deny, when caught.

I only have two rules:

Eat plenty of carrots.
Never have a wank on the bus.

I have only one that I consciously follow and that is to be as kind as I can to other people.

Have a fuck whenever you can
don't get drunk in the presence of the woman you love
keep learning all you can
Embrace the Darkness, it needs a hug

2. If someone tries to harm you, disregard rule 1
