That's because he thought he'd found a girl that cared for him in spite of
his curse, something that Akane didn't know of yet.  

In his situation, I don't think I could really blame him...

>Which ones are those?  I honestly don't know.

Take a look at the Secret Sauce story.  It's a prime example of Ranma
lying/being cruel to Ukyou.  Heck, he even tries to beat her up.

>What is his responsibility to Shampoo?  Please illuminate.

He's engaged to her, and he isn't actively trying to nullify the
engagement, so therefore he's got a responsibility to solve the problem.

Of course.

However, Ukyou *is* generally a nice person, so it's easy to see her in a
pristine light.  She has a few character flaws, but they aren't much.

Ryoga, on the other hand, while I like him and like to see him in 'pristine
light' if possible, he's too destructive and bitter to be in the same views
as Ukyou.  He definitely has a few character flaws, though the stuff he
does to Ranma is always justified.

Ranma is okay here and there, but mostly, he's scum.
