Don’t Be A Jerk (DBAJ) was the cardinal rule in the online gaming group (as well as its host forums) I played in during the early 2000s.

It’s a basic rule of society, and of course it’s managed to make its way into our family’s ruleset, as well. Our kids are at the ages (11 and 8, currently) where they are aware of the motives behind their actions (well, most of them, anyway), and so I’ve been pointing out DBAJ whenever appropriate. To my surprise, the kids have been somewhat responsive to it, as well.

Now, all we need to do is convince the people running this country to apply the DBAJ rule, and maybe some shit will actually get done.

(I’m not holding my breath, though.)
