It's always strange hearing this from people who are in the process of being disrespectful to someone whom they don't know.

I mean, of course respect is earned, but isn't it earned by *showing* respect?

So when you begin by disrespecting someone, haven't you yourself shown that you are not worthy of respect?

Are you attempting to engage in a disrespect-arms-race?

I'd tend to believe that this is a ####-poor justification for someone who wants to act like an asshat but doesn't like consequences.

People who use pre-meditated phrases in conversations are usually just saying them to sound smart. Most of the time, people don't consider the argument they are in as an argument in and of itself either.


I prefer to just be nice to people and complain about them when I'm alone

[DarksidexXx]

I agree

We need the develop Massively Ignorant Reactionary Vocalization before they develop Multiple Asshat Demonstration!

[Diabolical_Jazz]

I wish people thought about things more. -_-
It's impossible to force someone to actually give an idea real consideration.

[Diabolical_Jazz]

Okay then.

Personally, I treat people with a little respect, until I find that they either deserve more or less, depending on the person they are. Some people shoot way up, and others I try to avoid because I lost any and all respect for them.

That is an effective summary of EXACTLY how it ought to be done.

I mean, I probably respect my boss slightly more than I respect most other people, because he is a hard-working badass who is nice and respectful of everyone. But I treat every person with basic respect upon meeting them.

Thanks.

I'm getting good at them lately!

And while one of my bosses is a homophobe and a pothead, he's still a decent supervisor. Sure I absolutely disagree when he starts calling one of my coworkers "H*mo" (and this coworker is a friend of mine), but I compartmentalize that for a debate on another day, and let him keep doing his job because he is good at it. I respect a different coworker for his views on life, his work ethic, and how he treats people. And I don't respect my mother for how she treats people. She expects the world to revolve around her, and she hasn't had a job in 4 years by choice. She's given me a lot of negativity, and done a lot of things that either cost me money or my own sanity at times, and she wonders why I don't respect her. (Good thing I'm trying to move out and in with my gf by the summer)

It's true that respect is earned, but you're also right in that one must give respect to gain respect.

First impressions mean a lot.

Me, I try to be friendly if not a little bit detached when I meet somebody, and treat them with the same common courtesy that I would like to be given.

It's a Golden Rule thing; do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If I find that somebody is deserving of my respect, I give it.

If I find after a while that somebody is not worthy of my respect, then I don't bother with them.

You're welcome! ^_^

There really should be a statistic in our profiles for how many threads we've solved. That'd be awesome.

[Elle_Eccentric]

Me too. It's colder then a witches thorax out here.

[Diabolical_Jazz]

You'll love not-living-with-family, dude. ^__^
Best of luck!

But yeah, sometimes you compartmentalize stuff like that. And that's just necessary sometimes. People aren't always being malicious, sometimes they just don't know better.

[The_Pirate-King]

You could get special ranks like "thread sleuth" and "negotiator".

That would be a good idea, they should really add that. Because thread solutions are a lot rarer than kudos.

[Diabolical_Jazz]

Yup, that's how ya do it!

[inhumanrampager]

Yea.....my boss is one of those that doesn't know better. Hell there was a time when I was in one area, and the gay dude was working under him. I know they don't get a long, so I asked my coordinator for a trade to be in that area (and did so without bringing up the gay thing). I wanted to be there anyways, and it worked out. The gay dude will work and work well under my old boss (who is also a respectable dude for the most part), and has; and I just enjoy the flow and the loads in the area I'm in under the homophobe. I mean, when I thought of it at the time, the I didn't quite know what the gay dude had gone through but I figured enough is enough. If it can make it easier on him, why not?

[Diabolical_Jazz]

Yeah!
Also the witch is an ant.

Oh man, hell yes! =D

I'm sure people would abuse the system the same way they do with kudos, but still. ~shrug~

[Diabolical_Jazz]

That was mighty good of you. ^__^

Hell yeah, jazz! I couldn't have said this better myself! Way too many people like that IMO. Did they ever realize they themselves are incriminating and turning themselves into the thing they despise the most by being such an ass to people for no reason? Well maybe an arrogant assumption based a weak and shallow impression of another person, but, honestly is that enough water to float anything? It seems like it wouldnt be enough to float a paper hat in a p!ss puddle.

[inhumanrampager]

Thanks. In the end, it's working out quite well it seems.
