You give the respect where it's earned, I respect alot of people all who have earned it.

What you're showing me is that I don't deserve your respect, because I have different feelings on a situation than you do.

Ever think people grow up differently? Have completely different senses of morality than you do?

You think you're better than people because they don't fit into your sense of morality.

I think I'm getting than people because they haven't "earned" my respect yet.


Po-tay-to?
Po-tah-to?

Maybe you should think about what this board is actually all about, it's about acceptance of others points of view. It's not about YOUR POINT OF VIEW IS WRONG WRONG WRONG YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY IMMATURE AND DON'T DESERVE MY RESPECT.


You do have a bit of respect from me, simply because you have a belief and you obviously use it in your day to day life.

Though it's tainted by the fact that you won't understand that others who grow up in completely different enviroments than you, can and will have different sense of morality and respect than you.
I see and I understand where you are coming from. I live in a melting pot of 8 million people who have to all get along and have enough respect to bump into each other and stand next to each other.

So the guy picking up the trash doesn't get your respect because he's not done anything to earn it. The guy trying to make a right turn in the car next to you he's not getting your respect because he didn't do anything to earn it. The person taking your order at the local fast food joint, he doesn't deserve your respect because he's getting paid to get your your food, and he's not earned it. The guy you are staning in line behind or in front of, they don't deserve your respect because what have they done to deserve it?
