"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.

"Rede" as slang is an acknowledgment and validation of a particularly intelligent, profound, or powerful statement. It expresses admiration for the rhetorical sharpness, depth of analysis, or sheer conviction behind someone's words. When someone says "Rede!" or "Keep talking!", it essentially means: "You're speaking the truth, you're hitting the mark – say more!"

A male that masturbates with the only intention to ejaculate and hit himself in his Own chin with his semen.
Check that guy out over there. Either he has mayonnaise on his chin, ore he pulled a reding on himself.
