"An' it harm no one, do what ye will"
An inherently immoral philosophy because it encourages a failure to act. "An' it harm no one..." means do not actively harm anyone. Fine. Doing harm is, in fact, bad. However, failing to prevent harm is also bad. If you live by The Rede you can fail to prevent harm if the prevention of harm is not "what ye will." Also, if actively doing good deeds is not "what ye will," then you do not have to do them.
Although living by The Rede does not necessarily make you a bad person, it also does not make you a good person.

Get the the rede mug.Refers to a person who excels at one or more of the following: 1. drinking beers, and lots of them 2. being a generally sweet dude 3. rocking out in any situtation with total disregard to bystanders' feelings, family, or friends
Woah, look at that guy. He's rocking out and he must have had at least 19 beers. He's a sweet dude. He must be a Hay.

Get the Hay mug.An amazing rap group. They're straight out of Flint, Michigan. Check 'em out.
"Shadow," "Ghetto," and "Blood Bath" are some of their dopest beats.

Get the camp robin hood mug.My son was sick one day. He told me, "Dad, I need some punani." So I went to the store, and asked for some punani. Little did I know...

Get the Punani mug.The ultimate stoner fast food joint popularized by "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle". Sometimes open 24/7, catering to potheads with a nasty case of the munchies. For fuck's sake, they actually sell a goddamn paper case filled with 30 burgers. You'll get the runs and your heart will explode...but it's really freaking good!
