Respect - Page 2

Sorry to hear that I hope she gets to feeling better, not much worse than watching a loved one suffer with poor health.

Thanks GSD.

I have never lied to Admins.  Let's clear that one up for starters.

How many would respect an authority that can betray with non-chalance, an abuse of a confidence and then trivialize the outrage that occurs with such an event?

I wasn't rewarded very well for my support by an Admin on this site, and now he does keep suggesting I bee gone. These words will probably find a way for someone with a grudge against me to get me banned. Other posters saying that I was being favored by Admin, when I was only showing open support for this site and its mods, has not worked well for me, but has worked spectacularly for them. Of course, I know the probability that these words will be dismissed and my reality denied are quite high.

I had a history of always supporting SP. That is beginning to sound like a good reason to bee gone.

“It's very dramatic when two people come together to work something out. It's easy to take a gun and annihilate your opposition, but what is really exciting to me is to see people with differing views come together and finally respect each other.”

Ninja,
I hope your wife is ok.  Let me know if there is anything I can do.  

As far as respect goes, there is very little to be found here by some folks.  

I think, respect is a feeling - atype thought submission so to speak regulated by age. I respect my, dad, mom, and grandpa - my son respects me. There is a huge difference between my respect to my mom, dad and grandpa compared to my son's respect for me - but, they are directly related atype thoughts.

For example : My dad doesn't like me being political AT ALL he doesn't like me traveling the airways, taking metro's, transit buses, taxies in big cities, staying in hotel rooms neighboring some of the most corrupt American traitors in world history - he thinks I'm going to get killed. I respect his opinions and concern, but I'm my own person with my own adventures and I'm over 18. LOL

My mom and grandpa on the other hand, encourage me to continue (mainly because of Google with improved panopticon surveillance, GPS, check-ins/outs, backround noise of environment reporting, personal security with on demand government dispatch). At first, grandpa was on my dads side for years (nobody goes against my dad - it's that continuum of respect) - it's only after my grandpa vetted thoroughly the Ron Paul Revolution and Google's admin in personal security.

My son is completely different with respect for me by default. If I say he can't go pool hoppin with his friends at midnight - he's not going pool hopin with his friends at midnight. He is forced to respect my decision. If he doesn't get good grades, he not leave the farm. If he doesn't do his home work, he not leavin the house. Fortunately for me, my son has always respected my final say. Now that he's 14 and smart as a whip, he's beginning to challenge my decisions and debate on his own behalf ... at this point I just end it with "who's the boss" LOL

I love my life !!

As far as everyone else in regards to respect, it has always been - you give and you shall recieve.

 

I always thought it was an Aretha Franklin song. Btw, there is an Aretha Franklin Blvd in Detroit, and I do believe it is a two way street.

Respect can only be given, it is a kin to trust.

It can not be demanded and should not ever be expected, it is a gift and can only be earned, not bargained for.

It is not a two way street.

It can be taught, but never dictated.

Respect has many faces, many meanings, and can be lost as quickly as trust.

Fragile indeed.

Moons.
