Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Heck I never quite understand what was going on..... But I stand by my statement....I give people respect....I hope everyone does.
Otherwise who would hold the door for little old ladies.....I think represent isn't necessarily earned as much as strengthened or weekends over time by a person's actions.
If I have to earn someone's respect they can keep it.....
I am of the opinion that there are a couple of kinds of respect. There is the respect that we should just automatically show elders and people in authority such as teachers, bosses and law enforcement. (My mom was a single parent for much of my life so we spent a lot of time with my grandparents. Sass and back-talk were not an option. My boys were raised to treat their teachers with respect. I'd tell them, "You don't have to like them, but you will treat them respectfully.")

I think the other kind of respect is earned. One gets it by how they speak, act and treat others.
