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 likefrom the get go. ^_^

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.
Becaaaause I am bored and unemployed, and out of school for the first time in 16 years.
					
						
					
				
			
			
			
				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.
