- The ten commandments are the laws you live by.
- That a girl who can't cook, isn't fit to marry.
- How to fight, and when doing so is "appropriate".
- If the Bible says somethings wrong, then it's wrong!
- Boys are taught how to hunt and fish (some of the girls are too).
- Girls are taught how to cook and sew (atleast most are).
- You don't propose to a girl until ya ask her "Pa" for his blessing.
- Sunday is the Lord's day, no if's ands or buts about it! Get ya tail out of bed and go to church.
- How to garden, and what wild plants are edible.
- You don't dishonor our flag!! To bring dishonor to our flag, brings dishonor to the family name.
- That you're only as "good as your word". In other words, if ya go around lying, you have no honor.
