Respect

[Harbal]

I want you all to reflect, for a moment, on an old fashioned concept that has fallen out of favour of late; namely, respect. Is it too much to expect that we extend a little of it when we respond to one another's posts, even when they don't deserve any? Personally, I think it is too much to expect and that is why I ask you to join me in resisting any attempt at having an obligation to behave respectfully imposed on us.

You know it maks sense.

Those who don't show respect, usually don't get any.

I don't believe in discrimination so the fairest thing to do is not give anybody any.

I'm walking a tightrope here, Phil, don't throw any tricky questions at me.

It is deeper than that Doc. The Harbal mindset is typical of the attitude people have when they support genocides with no sense of remorse. Take the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide for example. When this mindset decides that Jews, Armenians, or any other group aren't worthy of respect, a genocide is understandable. Be thankful that you are above this

How ironic. Doc is a gun-loving American warmonger.

This is the first time I heard that being disrespectful to all Philosophy forum poltroons is the same mindset that would make "genocide understandable".

Objection! My mindset is not typical, Your Honour.

I have an alibi. Witnesses will confirm that I was in Barnsley when that happened.

This kind of logical progression is not untypical in Nicks posts.

Harbal you won't understand this but when people are is seen as being unworthy of respect, there is nothing more natural than murder when they are declared to be the cause of trouble.

Nick, I don't understand this.

Can I put that on my Resume?

I would be more proud, but VT thinks that all Americans are gun-loving warmongers, so I can still be proud to be an American, and not a Bigot like she is.

Well said, doc, gun-loving warmongers are human too. Gun loving warmonger's lives matter.

I thought you were. Perhaps I'm confusing you with your friend Henry Quirk. You don't seem to mind his mindless warmongering and gun-fixation.
