  • I stopped reading at "blah blah blah" as I've assumed you're an asshole who isn't open minded towards things. Just go away if you're not going to give constructive replies and if you're going to mix apples and oranges like that.

    In any case, judging doesn't reflect your personality nor mean that you're intolerant or whatever. Judging is essentially assuming one thing about the person THANKS TO WHAT THE PERSON provided you with. If you show me, like now, that you're an asshole, I will assume you are an asshole. If you feel bad about this, you're the one to blame, not me for being "judgmental". You're the one who presented yourself in such way.

    In either case this is exactly what I meant by my post. Im supposed to show you some sort of enormous respect for being a human being now, but instead I chose to be indifferent, up till now where you gave me a reason to either respect or disrespect you. And I will just have to go with disrespect as you're absolutely unable to speak to. And quite rude, I might add.

    • I'm just indifferent to your feelings and you gave reasons to disrespect you in your original post. Tit for tat. Seems you can dish it out but can't take it, just as I said.

      • I suppose you have some mental difficulties as you're basically posting in order to tease out negative emotions.

        disrespecting someone out of disrespect is actually how most arguments are formed. That's natural. I don't see your point

        • What she is basically saying is that being polite and respectful when in a civilized society benefits ALL members of that same society. What kind of world would it be if people walked around calling black people "porch monkeys" and whites being called "cracker". Fat people being ridiculed all the time when they go out in public?? You would want to live in a society like that? Think about it, think long and hard.

          Small price to pay for people being "fake" to each other.

          Sure you have excellently valid point, especially regarding political correctness as I think its gone way out of control myself as well, but there has to be some level of politeness that we all exchange to one another. It just cant be any other way.

          • I think you're missing the point here. I'm not supporting people to be impolite. I'm just saying that you can be politely indifferent and restrain yourself from giving some sort of respect to someone you don't if you dont feel that way. Of course people should not disrespect others by calling them porch monkeys or whatever. You've gone to an extremity I've previosuly said I'm against myself.

            Thanks for the comment

            • No I definitely understand what you are saying. BUT how can you be politely indifferent??

              I do understand what you mean, its like parents telling kids "just be yourself, people will like you for who you are" which is total bullshit because if that was the case then nobody would be awkward and the word wouldnt have meaning.

              BUT, what would you have them do? Tell the kids you better understand what it is to be cool and you better conform and you better follow trends or else you are gonna be bullied?

              I understand the idea of not just blindly giving respect and politeness, but dont you think society is better if people do that rather then just ignoring each other or passively being rude?

              • Why would you paint it so black and white? You can still have normal polite conversations with them without showing respect or disrespect. Being a warm/kind person doesnt mean you have to respect someone and being cold doesnt equal to disrespect. get the picture? :)
