The following are Commandments for Atheists, Humanists, or just people too busy to obey the old Ten Commandments. If you live your life by these standards, you'll be all right!
1. Don't be an arsehole. Seriously, if you wouldn't like someone doing that around or to you, don't do it yourself.
2. Be nice to animals. You can still eat them, just don't be a dick about it, and treat them with respect.
3. If you have a religion, fine. Every religion essentially encourages social cohesion. If you don't like something else that someone else is doing, or you disagree with another religion: take a look at yourself. It's not your religions fault. Keep it to yourself.
4. Ignore anyone who is famous for just being famous, their opinions are invalid and should be ignored as best as possible.
5. Don't get offended. Being easily offended is stupid, and suggests that you can't handle people with varying views. Not everyone has to agree with you to be right. You're wrong there.
6. Tweeting will only last another year or so as a mainstream tool. Until it goes away, try to ignore it. If you can't ignore it, drink every time you hear a John Snow saying, "if you want to contribute to tonight's show, or comment on tonight's news, tweet me at..."
Come to think of it, we only need the first sentence of number one, but the rest are good guidelines.
Rock on till the break of dawn.
