Honest question: do you believe everyone deserves respect no matter what they do?
I am all for keeping things civil as much as possible and keeping conversations polite. But to me respect is earned, not a given.
- chrisseaton 6y agoA basic standard of respect, yes. You can think someone isn't good at their job, or that they're mistaken, or that they make bad choices. But there's never any reason to resort to using personal abuse.
- IgorPartola 6y agoSo if you are in a building held hostage by a terrorist they deserve your basic respect? You’d never use violence or abuse against them? Or a mugger? Or a Nazi camp guard? Or a gay conversion therapist? Or a rapist who violated you? Or someone who falsely accused you of rape? Or someone who murdered someone you love?
