Poll: National service not a bad thing?

[StriderX]

You're wrong. People wouldn't have that flawed attitude if they did military service.

Trump is likely your elder, do you respect him?

This is a different George Hincapie, what has happened?

 

[RoboCod]

wow, chip on shoulder much?

it's not hard to grasp, just because i don't treat everyone i meet like some kind of deity because of their age doesn't mean i don't respect people who are deserving of it.

nor does it mean i don't use manners and politeness on all, regardless of wether or not i respect their opinion.

OK petal.

The dude hasn't been assassinated yet - he's deserving of respect for that!

You've posted that several times now. Precisely what is it I am posting that disappoints you?

 

[George Hincapie]

Trump is likely your elder, do you respect him?

As an elder? Of course. But that doesn't mean I agree with him. I am always incredibly respectful of elders, I really don't understand why people question it.

 

[FoxEye]

I think we obviously have different ideas of what respect entails.

Do you never have any disdain for anyone older than you are?

Seems like an entirely arbitrary and unreasoned position to hold if so.

Out of interest, what is it about someone being born before you that commands your unwavering respect?

It's just the way I was raised. There has to be order to the World I suppose.

How dare you respect people for no reason whatsoever. Those *******s need to earn your respect. Make them work for it.

LOL

Their knowledge and life experience.
This really only applies to children respecting their elders though. We really gonna take this full retard?

 

[Dis86]

I think it hails from a time when you didn't get to be an elder without being wise/smart/strong. Muppets died early. Thus the very fact they'd made it to an older age was worthy of respect.

Not saying he can't, just don't get the logic of specifically respecting just those who happen to be born before you rather than everyone or no one

You don't have to 'get' it, we're different. Just accept it

Like I said, I was asking out of interest, not challenging you on it.

So again out of interest, expanding on this notion, does automatically respecting your elders mean automatically not respecting your juniors?

We've already been there, bought the T-shirt, and dribbled all over it.

Out of date knowledge and irrelevant life experience, the exponential advance of society has made it abundantly clear that the old systems are decayed and archaic.
