DO PEOPLE HAVE TO EARN RESPECT?


[+] ballot by herzog
created Tue Sep 19, 06

Do you feel that people, cultures, religions, etc, have to work to earn your respect starting initially with none, or do you give everyone an equal amount to begin with and they have to work to lose it?

People/organizations have to earn my respect
People/organizations have to do something to lose my respect

Some people obviously don't have to earn respect, considering that a significant number of people approve of the job Bush is doing as president.

cranky, despite the fact that I agree with you in most cases, and that this is probably a politically motivated ballot, drawing comparisons to Bush/Republicans/their policies on almost every single ballot gets a little annoying. O.o But it's your keyboard with which to type what you wish :O

well, what you do is start in a neutral position, then make your judgements.

The only time a person or group would have to earn my respect is if I lost repect for them.

Case in point, Miller Brewing.
"Miller Brewing Company of Milwaukee, WI, producers of the popular beer Miller Genuine Draft, has given at least $30,000 to groups that support illegal aliens and illegal immigration so they can march down our city streets making demands of Americans."

I'm not able to put the url in here for reference, but you can see this quote at the millerboycott site.

Only MEN have to earn it! It's automatically GIVEN to women.

Men are all raised to respect women from day 1.

Why I don't know. Women haven't accomplished much since the beginning of time.

I guess if men weren't brainwashed to respect them, they might be more inclined to use them and then throw them away. As they should be.

"Women haven't accomplished much since the beginning of time."

Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Jeanne d'Arc, Isabel Allende, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Frida Kahlo, Marie Curie, Mother Teresa, Jane Goodall, Amelia Earhart...

Those are some notably accomlished women from off the top of my head. I can list more if you'd like.

Voted : People/organizations have to do something to lose my respect
I respect everyone until they do something that would warrant losing that respect.

"Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you." I'd hope that I had some standing to start with, or I'd never have any respect, my personality being what it is.

"Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you."


that goes both ways. if i did something stupid, i'd want somebody to say to me "hey, that's stupid". so that's that i do when someone else does something stupid. but they take offense.
