    I respect everyone until they show me that don't deserve it. Life is better that way.

    With this answer, how easy is respect to lose. And :
    • what if you are acting disrespectful when you loose respect for someone else?
    • What if you are trolling, and they get trolled.
    • Isn't respect a temporal part of a person?
    • Don't we all lash out, or say something with ignorance or stupidity once in a while?
    • If we try too hard to be objectively respectful, wouldn't we loose respect for ourselves?
    • Wouldn't one who has no respect for themselves be a bit disrespectful.
    • What about Aretha Franklin?

    I respect no one, cause it's only so long before they are going to do something stupid and piss me off, so I find it best to not get my hopes up about them and treat everyone like skullskullskullskull from the get go. ^_^

    • Isn't your face a temporal part of a donkey's butt?
    • Nope.
    • Not if you have integrity.
    • They're too busy hiding under a blanket.

    Why have A Most Loved Man, Christmas, and Linus all come back around the same time and posted in the same thread? I don't respect any of them, anyway. Maybe Linus a little bit, because he is indeed my elder.

    On-topic, yes, typically.

    I find it easier to try to be polite anyway. That doesn't mean I haven't called a few old people bad names in my days.

    I'm not going to be an asshole upfront. It's rude and disrespectful.

    I respect Dr Unne and BOU. And their relationship.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Why do people think they deserve respect?

    Long time no see, A Most Loved Forum Member!

    A lot of old people here are so rude! Respect has to be earned.

    Given that pensioners seem to run North Wales anyway and that I work in a shop that depends on pensioners buying lottery tickets and confectionery to stay open, despite them sometimes quickly getting on my nerves (sometimes should probably be 'regularly'), I am respectful towards them. And respect them if they're polite and reasonable which a lot of them aren't.
