Well here's a loaded question! Love it.  My answer - it depends in what state is concerned.  In AZ I would be considered reasonable and principled.  CA I'd probably would be shunned!  LOL  Do I care?  No.

Richie,

It depends on the situation.  On some things, I am firmly opposed (child pornography as an example) on others I am open to see both sides...A

I am reasonable but I think the talking heads on TV are 'telling' me I 'have to' do too much.

Common sense is necessary to be reasonable. Due to a lifetime of experience, glad that I have the ability to step back and think before acting, not so much when younger.

Being reasonable depends on your education, upbringing, experience and the situation. I'm reasonable until angry, then I'm taking what's "reasonable" to new depths typically. Like I love dogs and animals in general, I would never hurt one. In fact I protect them, my Peroni (English Cream - Golden Retirever) especially.

I understand with reason when they or he does bad things from natural instinct, like I would with a child.

But, if I am attacked by a dog, suddenly it is reasonable to physically harm it if necessary to the situation to get it to stop. The reasoning normally is I'd protect animals from harm; but I'd protect me more. 

Great question Richie Alan Naggar

By my own standards, I am reasonable. 

Let's find 10 reasonable people and ask them a question and see if they are all within reason with their response.

Reasonable? Of course.

We all have goals, things to accomplish, responsibilities to full fill, dreams to make come true.

Should another stand in the way of a goal, resentment often sets in.

The courts, and their practice of treating 10 reasonable people as idiots, starts the ball rolling in the wrong direction and the product of the courts have lots of innocent people in prison. And it NOT the 10 reasonable people who caused it. But identifying the cause could label one, UNREASONABLE.

EVERY person is reasonable from their perspective.

Depends. Are we actually talking about a jury situation?

Then the question becomes, 'Can you follow the instructions to the letter of the law?' Those rules often defy reason!

I can be more than reasonable. I can also be icily detached and objective. And I can be empathic. What's the sitch call for?
