Why Must We As People Always Be Respectful Of People When Disagreeing With Them?

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Personally, if somebody says somethigng I diagree with, I have no problem calling them a cunt.

[RebootedCorpse]

That's the most moronic thing ever written, you ignorant fuckstump.

[Ray G.]

I disagree.

Asshole.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

That's the most moronic thing ever written, you ignorant fuckstump.

See? I have no problem with that.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.

[Smokinblues]

Not worth it

[ClintP]

If you keep it respectful, you can actually have a conversation. I for one am not going to let you insult me and continue talking about something trivial like a comic book. If you can't stay respectful, I will just wait and watch for someone else to bash you and let them give you your just deserts...

[RickLM]

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.


I think that's fine if your goal is the breakdown of civilized society.

[DAVE]

Fuck you techno.

[ClintP]

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.
I hope I never cross the line where someone doesn't respect me. I may not agree and see eye to eye, but I hope I never say anything to warrant me being called a name..

[DAVE]

I think that's fine if your goal is the breakdown of civilized society.

When you start calling someone names you pretty much lose any opportunity to:

1) convince them that you're right and they're wrong.
2) learn anything
3) have any sort of productive conversation.

Civilised society is overrated. I want to see some passion.

[Andrew j]

Usually insults only solidify people's opinions and even make people who are in the middle turn against you.

[Ray G.]

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.

See, for me, someone disagreeing with me on most things isn't enough to make me not respect them.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

When you start calling someone names you pretty much lose any opportunity to:

1) convince them that you're right and they're wrong.
2) learn anything
3) have any sort of productive conversation.

But, at some point, you should be willing to let it all hang out and let it be known, bluntly, that you're right and they're wrong.

[Jef UK]

I think you're kind of dumb, but I don't say so.

[Jew Mafia]

Civilised society is overrated. I want to see some passion.

I highly advocate beating the crap out of anyone who says something you don't agree with.

[RickLM]

Civilised society is overrated. I want to see some passion.


When you say that, you sound sooo much like Johnny Rotten.

[ClintP]

Yeah, passion got Anikan Skywalker real far...:roll:

[xyzzy]

But, at some point, you should be willing to let it all hang out and let it be known, bluntly, that you're right and they're wrong.

You can do that without juvenile name calling. Or for that matter, being in any way disrespectful.

For example, I think I've made it pretty clear that on this subject I think that you're wrong and I'm right.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

See, for me, someone disagreeing with me on most things isn't enough to make me not respect them.

It's an ego thing, I suppose. Everybody wants to be seen as the Alpha Dog in any situation. I'm very interested in that concept right now, the concept of The Alpha Male.

[Dreg]

The only reason you think we must be respectful of others is because you know the consequences of being disrespectful: losing the respect of others. If respect wasn't that important to you, you wouldn't really see that as much of a consequence, and therefore, wouldn't use the word "must."

...


Rectal Fuckmuffin.

Get out!

[Race]

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.So the fact that I happen to like a lot of ice in my drink and don't means you can't respect me and therefore feel justified in cussing at me?

:no:

any alpha male can be brought down to size with a swift kick to the nuts. :D

And you think that acting like a child is going to achieve that?

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Let's not be silly, now...

[Brian Defferding]

That's the most moronic thing ever written, you ignorant fuckstump.
You can be a funny motherfucker sometimes, Kirb :lol:

[Race]

And you think that acting like a child is going to achieve that?You have to be respectable before anyone's going to show you respect.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

And you think that acting like a child is going to achieve that?

I wouldn't say acting like a child is the way to go. I see no problem with being verbally, intellectually, or, if need be, physically imposing.

[Race]

Let's not be silly, now...Do you or do you not disagree with North American tastes in having cold drinks?

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Do you or do you not disagree with the North American custom of enjoying cold drinks?

I agree...

[Jef UK]

Everybody wants to be seen as the Alpha Dog in any situation.

That's not true.

[xyzzy]

Oh, yeah, physically accosting someone because they have a different perpsective than you. That's a great way to win an argument.

[Race]

I agree...Interesting, I was under the impression that many Europeans found beer served at -28 degrees Centigrade distasteful . . . :mistrust:

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

That's not true.

Maybe it's just me, then.

[Race]

Oh, yeah, physically accosting someone because they have a different perpsective than you. That's a great way to win an argument.Maybe he's go too much money and/or freedom - maybe he's trying to give it away?

[xyzzy]

Maybe he's go too much money and/or freedom - maybe he's trying to give it away?

Maybe just some maturing left to do.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

... I don't believe a word of what I posted in here, whith the exception of the Alpha Male stuff. I just read one too many political conversations over on another board where everybody there seemed to live their lives by the stuff I expressed here, that I thought I'd squash that sentiment down to it's barest elements and see what kind of a reaction it'd get. I thought it'sd be fun, maybe because I've had a drink.

I have to say it's been fascinating.

No hard feelings?

:D

that's just very immature and downright silly.

It seems you got the point mastered. Why not up the bar?

Didn't you say recently that you had some sort of social anxiety or something not that long ago? And that you've been reacting against said anxiety?

[Taki Soma]

no one said you have to, it's just human courtesy to respect another person's opinion... it's like appreciating free speech, it's not always fluffy and sugary.

[Race]

:Punch:

Okay, you got me.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Didn't you say recently that you had some sort of social anxiety or something not that long ago? And that you've been reacting against said anxiety?

Even though a lot of the stuff I said in here was just for fun, I will admit that it does wonders for my self-esteem for me to think that I'm the best person in any given room I enter.

[Jef UK]

[...]I will admit that it does wonders for my self-esteem for me to think that I'm the best person in any given room I enter.

I have no problem with that. I'm sure of it myself, sometimes. ;)

I have succeeded Movie Maker as The Bendis Board's answer to Ashton Kutcher.

The philosopher Voltaire once insisted to another author, "I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."

It's called "tolerance".

Steve Martin once said, "I believe in equality for everyone. ...No matter how stupid or how much better I am than they are."

You respect people for being "human". You don't have to agree with them, to respect their right to live.

[chess]

We should also point out that a person's right to opinions and free speech doesn't require others to listen or pay attention.

I'm being serious, gentlemen. I don't see why I should respect people when they say something that makes me not respect them.If you just love to argue for no reason, then yeah, there's nothing wrong with being disrespectful. But if you ever hope to actually LEARN something from a discussion or to ever have THEM learn something about your opinion, be respectful. No one learns from an asshole, even if they make perfect sense.
