And by that I mean if you’re likely to, for example, give a homeless person a fiver (because in the moment you feel like it’s the humane/appropriate thing to do) or turn to the principle of giving money to people in the first place (you might not be comfortable doing that) or to homeless people per se (e.g., it’ll likely go on drugs/alcohol so why bother?).
Or if you were a high-school headteacher would you let certain ‘delinquencies’ from students slide (on the premise that it’s just realistic and natural for teenagers to step out of line and misbehave sometimes) or would you be an exact stickler for punishment (because of moral principles) every single time?

Practicality for the most part but sometimes principle

Same here.
A lot of the time principles are out-and-out hypocritical. The same people who refuse to give the homeless money because of the principle that “directly giving them money will only fuel their likely drugs habits” are the same who’ll spend £500 on a Friday night alone getting mortal on Havana juice and high on line after line after two big meals. The hypocrisy of these highly-principled, selfish people really pisses me off.

By all means, don’t give them money if doing so wouldn’t resonate with your ‘principles.’ But know that not everyone out there’s pretending. It’s a cold world out there. Anything can happen to anyone at any time. That’s the crux of it.

I feel like I'm 50-50 tbh.
For example if I was a Teacher at a School and a student swore at me I honestly wouldn't even care, however if they decided to get violent towards me or another student at the School then I'd hand the student an extreme punishment.

And either way gender has literally nothing to do with this thread so I don’t know why you thought this was the most appropriate section to make that random comment.

Hmmm. I think I do have some fairly strong principles but when it comes right down to it, I take each situation as it comes, for better or worse. I also don't do very well with arbitrary rules and tend to question them if there are going to be consequences for breaking them... or if there won't be consequences... I just don't follow them .

I dont think I have too strong princples these days to be quite honest. Its just whatever I decide in the moment. Theres obviously hard lines in places but generally speaking, depends.
The homeless thing, it would be more along the lines of..what mood I was in, how skint I was, and other factors I think. The school thing, depends on the situation. Which is probably why I could never be a teacher or person of authority in any way
