Respect...

[69billy]

OK.. Guys
I really get pissed off when everyone saying you have to respect LBs BGs this and that..
I treat every one the way I'll like to be treated, but up to a point..BUT respect is some thing you EARN,you can not buy it... I don't respect every Tom, Dick and Hary ..
So what is your take on this..??

i'm glad to hear that 69billy.
it reeks of political correctness when were lectured about who to respect.

having said that though, i generally approach everyone with respect and can usually tell who to then give more to and who doesnt earn it.

Interesting perspective. I think we all respect or not someone after we know them, as they deserve it.

So I think you're really asking how do you INITIALLY respect someone? (LB)

Wouldn't it be better to err on the side of respecting first and disrespecting later if it's deserved? I think I try to do that, not sure I'm infallible though, so I do make mistakes sometimes.

I respect myself and I assume the worst in people! (I don't have many friends!)

I don't respect people and I don't care much about them. To be honest - having chums and pals takes up way too much of my time. I prefer to just natter on line to people I meet here.

If you read some of my mail you'd have scant respect for the morons out there.

I go out a couple of times a month, but to be honest I'm bored after about 20 minutes and make any excuse to leave and go home again. There are a few people, however, that I make a real effort to get out and meet and they are all people I have met here on this forum. I respect them highly.

As for respecting race and religeon and color etc... well that's all bullshit.

If three black people come up to me in the night then I get very scared... If three Arabs come up to me in the dark I don't get quite so scared. If three ladyboys come up to me in the dark I assume I'm gonna be pickpocketed so I clasp my wallet tightly!

This blanket respect is for people who enjoy taking orders and for people who expect the authorities to run their lives and who believe in a sense of justice.

I believe in none of these things so I respect me. I've done OK so far. I haven't lost my works pension and I haven't been ripped off and I always get my own way because I'm an arrogant and demanding twat.

Most people don't see these characteristics as too appealing in a friend so I don't make friends easily. But once I do I have a mate for life. Basically if you can put up with me being around then you are a saint and I respect you!

If you don't like me then I don't blame you, but I can get by just fine with that!

As a general rule I respect upbeat optomistic happy people... Unfortunately I'm not like this so I like to see people that are...

I respect Cindy above all others in the P4P ladyboy world. She never complains, always smiles and never gives me any of her grief... the rest of them are just fuck toys.

I also think I've done pretty good in life using my tactic of respecting people in general.

To each his own.

I like the way you're so upfront about things, SB.
You kinda remind me of my late stepfather. I guess that's what I liked best about him. He didn't pull any punches and you knew where you stood with him.

Although one day while visiting him during vacation in Arizona I thought he was gonna get himself punched for being so blunt.

There are too many idiots out there that think that the world owes them something instead of earning it!

Given all the above, it's astonishing that this bloke is such good company...  well, OK, for the 20 minutes he granted me  

   I'll take the grief from your fuck toys then, SB!

Respect is something that has to be earned , as kids we,re told to respect authority , the police , bosses etc why ? to keep us in our place , but then ive allways been a bit of a rebel  
when it comes to LBs and bargirls i treat them the same as anyone i meet , im nice to them , generally i get the same back , and everyones happy , but if theyre rude im rude back .
I remember the only time i ever got into an argument in Phuket , basically a thai guy took exception that i was with a thai woman and made a few abusive gestures , i went over and told him to fuck off , which he did , when i told my mates later that night one gave me this crap about respecting him and his country - complete shite , this guy was rude to me for no reason and thought i was an easy target because i was alone , thankfully it was a one off

ps - once the thai backed down and did a runner i did the same in case he came back with a mob ( which i suspect is why he backed down so quickly !!! ) jimslim is a lover not a fighter

Smart move...

I'm not so rude as to tell people that I think they're talking shit. I respect anyone's right to be a boring cunt and take up space. But I'll avoid the person like the plague in future.

I also don't think humiliating people (or arguing with them) is very productive in the real world. I'd just as soon nod in silence, sup up my bottled water and move away...

Basically - I'm a coward with people!

[69billy]

Wooow..
I never thought so many of you will agree with me..spatialy SB..What he is saying is spot on with me..

[allstar88]

with people i have an un-canny knack of judging a book by its cover and 9 times out of 10 i am correct

[katoeylover]

respect is a 2-way street, give it and then you will receive it back.

Never judge a book by its cover alone, look inside and you might be surprised.

[Guest]

I believe in a mutual respect until they give me a reason not to respect them. This is not about professional respect as that has to be earned but just a simple I assume your a nice guy until you proved to me otherwise.

This is also not about being naive and assuming all people are good just I believe most are inherently good and give them the benefit of the doubt. Also don't take things for granted and put yourself in a situation where you can lose more than you can afford to.

[moe666]

I do not have many friends 2or3 ( the word is used to losely and means nothing today) but I have a lot of people I am aquainted with.
People will meet someone and have a 10 min. conversation and now they are friends what a load of crap.

[stogie bear]

It's amazing how nice and normal the good folk of this forum are.

I first came to Thailand and met only teachers and they are all weird. I thought it would be the same with the lb perverts, but I have been proven wrong so many times now...

I'm a bit more cynical and less good natured than Ozzie though...
