Part of being an adult is respecting those with whom you disagree.


Sorry, no.

Respect is earned. You don't earn it, you don't get it. I taught my kids that and it stuck.

Proud of them.
I'm sure that, at a conversation at dinner, if your sons walked out of the dining room because they objected to something you may have said, you would feel the same.

Right?

It's called manners and maturity.

FWIW I just wouldn't have gone.

Then again that's not saying much. Didn't attend undergrad or grad graduations.

Had I not spoken in a respectable fashion I would have expected form my children nothing less. Demanded it, in fact.

I did not do that.

Did VPOTUS speak in a not respectable fashion?

I would submit that those who walked out didn't even bother to stay to listen.

Just another pop culture protest. People can confuse it with "courage" as they will, but I would be curious what the alleged risk was. What did they stand to lose by the protest, again? Surely we can all agree that courageous acts must involve risk!

Just like Jimmy Kimmel's courageous monologue, where he risked alienating all the people who want to kill kids!
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

No argument there.

That "logic" takes a true statement and strips it of all common sense.

"You don't earn it, you don't get it" is about the dumbest thing I've read today. To follow that logic, If one was in a grocery store and an old woman asked you for help getting something off a shelf she couldn't reach, you'd say "Get it yourself, bitch. You haven't earned my respect yet."

The problem with your twisted version of "earning respect" is that you're placing the onus on the wrong ones. It wasn't Pence's responsibility to earn the respect of those little turds. It was THEIR responsibility to show respect. THEY are the ones who are obligated to "earn" respect.

Respect is not always a matter of earning. We are supposed to show people respect until they do something to show they aren't worthy of being respected.

Here's how it works, Steve. Pence was an invited guest. As an invited guest, he was owed respect from those who came. If these little sh!twads didn't think he was worthy of their respect, they should have shown enough respect for everyone else in attendance to just not show up. By showing up and making a scene of *disrespect*, they disrespected every single person in attendance, they disrespected their college, they disrespected Pence, and they disrespected themselves.

Is *that* what you taught your kids?

If you're gonna hold yourself up as an expert on respectability you need to earn that respect first.

Now we might be getting somewhere....

You see Steve, when I first met you, I showed you the utmost respect. You hadn't earned it, I showed it because that was *my* responsibility.

Over time however, you have shown yourself to be unworthy of my respect, so you no longer get any from me.

That's how it works. Using your logic, when you walked into my store I would have had the right to tell you to get the hell out because you hadn't earned my respect yet.

See how it works?

Respect can be earned, but a certain level of respect goes with the position. As is said in the service, you don't salute the man, you salute the uniform.

Pence is the former governor of the state. He is the current Vice President of the country. As such, he is the current VP of everybody in that building. The office commands a certain level of respect. The man has done nothing to Sully the office he holds.

What you are defending is nothing more than a group of disrespectful jerks having a " look at me" moment. If they were in such disagreement with the man that they could not bear to listen to him for a few minutes, then stay at home. If that be the case then I wonder what will happen to them when they start to work in the real world, where you have people that you must work with, who you do not agree with or they answer to a boss they don't like?

A person who has no respect for others, usually has very little respect for themselves.

Do you respect Obama?


Since I already know the answer to all 3 is "Yes", I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but your "bar" is so low a piss ant could step over it.

Well, if these virtue signalling Social Justice Warriors would have stopped, turned around, formed a line, and chanted "We reject and will not accept our diplomas from this University (sorry mom and dad)," perhaps I could have garnered some respect, if still not totally lost as to their undefined and undefinable concerns.

Perhaps they rejected their diplomas and I didn't hear about it (snark)?? -- or were they just too caught up in "who's watching me, huh?, maybe CNN, FOX, maybe that guy that never gave me a second look?, we're certainly going to be on YouTube, maybe even better, ABC/NBC/CBS?" W00t!! We Won! They didn't focus upon Pence or his content, they focused upon us, US...US!

We Teh Winnaz!
I...feel...so...darn...important...and...sob...PROGRESSIVE!!

But Wait -- turns out, they were right. It's been all over Fox, CNN, ABC,etc. repeat/rinse/repeat/rinse
No substance from what Pence's message was, just the SJW stomping out. Seen it over and over.

And as long as this works with the 24 hour media cycle, it will continue to propagate.

News, as Fake News, and what sells.
