I got this in an e-mail from my nephew. I am particularly proud of this young man as I helped raise him and I'd say MY values and beliefs are more reflected in his personality than his liberal parents (my sister). That's what happens when you look for a cheap babysitter, sis! He's only 13 years my junior. I look more at him as the little brother I never had.
I felt this little essay was spot on for MANY of the wonderful freepers I know here. Especially my friends on Joe Brower's 2nd Amendment ping list and the *bang_list

A Retrosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a tie - and ONLY a Windsor knot. Oops. That's what I used to tie. Then I encountered a superior knot (I don't know what it's called), and that's all I've tied for the past decade or more...

I live by a code, too. I play hockey three times a week, and when I come across a real Clymer (in hockey and in life) I'm prepared to smack him down so hard that his clothes are out of style when he gets back up again.

How does this compare to the code you nephew shared? You guys sound like you are, or have been, Scouts.
Scout Oath (or Promise)
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
TRUSTWORTHY
A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.
LOYAL
A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation.
HELPFUL
A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward.
FRIENDLY
A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.
COURTEOUS
A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together.
KIND
A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.
OBEDIENT
A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them.
CHEERFUL
A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy.
THRIFTY
A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property.
BRAVE
A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.
CLEAN
A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.
REVERENT
A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.

"Um do we females get to do that too?"Sure, why not? My wife does it all the time. Thank God she's not a freeper. This last one could be grounds for Summary Court Martial and a swift execution by slow torture.

I was both a Boy Scout and a Sea Scout. I was a leader in both those organizations. Don't remember if the nephew ever was, or not. I wouldn't exactly equate "The Code" to the Scout Oath.

Great Post!
Are there RS categories or rankings? Fr'instance, do you get an RS black belt if:
1. You reload more than 100 rounds of spent brass per month.
2. You can operate and repair a chain saw, and, yes, threaten your daughter's (former) punk boy friend with it.
3. You quit a job, rather than do something unethical.
4. You know, really know, just how too-low-to-kick-at and too-slimy-to-stomp-on the Clintons really are.
5. You know, really know, you would never register your guns.
6. Your bedside nightstand holds a Bible, a Maglight, a loaded S&W Model 29 and a small flask of Gentleman Jack.

Used to be there was a time when there was no such thing as a "retrosexual man." He was simply called a "man."
It's sad that today society needs subcategories.
