Jackson Dalby’s Penguin Principle

The concept that you should watch others and observe their outcomes to determine if you should do the same thing they did. This idea derived from penguins in the Antarctic who stand on the edge of an iceberg watching other penguins jump into the water, if the penguin who jumped into the water doesn’t get eaten by a predator then the other penguins know it is safe to jump in.

I don’t smoke meth because of Jackson Dalby’s Penguin Principle.

GuanZhe's Uncertainty Principle

If two things are about 50% the same, they are as good as being the same thing, as quoted by GuanZhe

It's against my principals

What a grade-school student says in order to decline to do something that might likely get him in Dutch with the dreaded "men in the upstairs office", whether or not he himself actually feels morally repulsed by said request.

Telling someone that, "It's against my principals" can indeed be highly effective at getting said individual to quit pressuring you to misbehave; just be aware that some students and/or teachers may have "ins" with said powerful heads of the school, and so mentioning about them might not instill adequate concern in said bully to cause him/her to back off.
