What certain people say THEIR concept of respect means. Which often
also means not respecting others who may have a different concept (or in
the case of many, no concept. The latter of course don't generally have
an epiphany and all of sudden become respectful).

The problems is that they've never had any self-respect so they can't be
expected to ever have respect for anyone else. We still hope that they learn
what it means one day so they will finally deserve the respect they so
desperately want and need, and in turn, will learn to respect all others.

You could have been more self-righteous and condescending if you
tried couldn't you? Shows a great lack of respect in your manner of
trying to teach respect..


You could call "political correctness" the more apparent meaning of "respect
for
others", but they still wouldn't be able to figure it out. Those who fail to
understand this most basic of human principles have never been too
intelligent.

I was wrong.


Well said!
