How about this...

"Any member who claims his/her method of travel is superior to anyone else's is just asking for it."

one of my philosophies on life may fit:

"There are only two people i trust. One is me, the other is not you"
or how about...
"live every day like its your last, 'cause you might wake up dead tomorrow"

Thanks for all your submissions to our Code of Conduct. We are definitely going to use some of these! Please add more if you are really interested in having your travel philosophy become part of the BootsnAll Code of Conduct.

Also, take a look at our old Code of Conduct. Which codes should we keep and which should we get dismiss?

Thanks for all your ideas!

Will there be fabulous prizes?

How about "As long as you don't die, you're doing alright."

I really like that. Static, where did you find that? Or is it all yours?

I wrote that. Thanks!

Couple of thoughts from many years of travel:

Respect the culture - especially when you don't agree with it

Enjoy the moment, no matter how scary, crazy or cold and wet it is. It may not be fun to be held up at gun point in Phnom Pen or wake up to realise your night bus just skidded off the road in a tropical storm - but you're defintely alive and you'll have incredible memories...

Cipro & Immodium are the breakfast of travelers

Last call for all input into the new Code of Conduct - and what should be kept with the old Code of Conduct. Years from now, young impressionable travelers will look back on our ancient wisdom and use it to guide them with their travels.

Speak now!

heres one:

WHEN VISTING THE USA, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO DO THE NEW YORK, LAS VEGAS, SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES ROUTE IF YOU SPEND AT LEAST THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME OUT OF THOSE FOUR CITIES.

sheeish.

Keep the humour. I don't so much care what it says, so long as I get a good laugh out of reading it.

"Walk down that lonesome road/
All by yourself/
Don't turn your head/
Back over your shoulder/
And only stop to rest yourself/
When the silver moon/
Is shining high...
Above the trees."

---A song I sing to myself when I am on a very dark and empty stretch of roadway.

A beautiful song, Ruth, which I'm happy to have stuck in my head. Thanks!

In preparation for the occasional "maybe you should get a real job" or "maybe you should travel less, save more" type of statements, always have a witty retort at the ready and then cover your ears and run away...

at least that's what works for me
