A comment I read today took me back to my childhood.  I was raised that everyone deserved respect until they did something to lose it. 

 

Today, I see many state that respect needs to be earned which implies people aren't worthy of respect until they do something desirable in the eyes of the one bestowing respect.

 

Is needing to earn respect before getting it a generational thing or just a difference in the way people look at others today?


 

ITA .....  and some people go out of their way to "withhold" their respect and approval,  which borders on manipulative, judgmental  and "holier than thou" ......  We should teach children to be respectful, and, hopefully, they'll behave that way as adults.

I'm done with P.C. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier.

That is why many of us also post at the dam yankee board.  So not P. C.  The only thing not tolerated is hate speech.  No poofing of any comments.
