Category sorry I misspelled.

Answer 1

Respect is a personal choice. Yes, it matters to me how I talk to people. We like to say that people need to earn our respect. I feel differently.

I chose it because people stop with the artifaces and defenses if they feel that they are respected. Not their beliefs, but them.

Certain structures that they have built up, I can't relate too. IT's not like I can be swayed to their side, but I have taken a stance on this one a long time ago. NO ONE is here thinking the same, so I expect to hear all sorts of beliefs and idealisms. I sh*tcan none of it, so I can truly stay in behaviors that I feel satisfied with.

See, when your developing your own sense of self, you need to be able to expand. People are the greatest opportunity to grow beyond your own set structures.

It's just easier when someone is presenting something new to you, and not something that you have outgrown. However, even there I respect that it has served it's purpose! I put myself in their shoes. I wouldn't have wanted someone mocking me when I was there, so there you go.

Respect is self-control. Not letting yourself fly off the handle. Because both with practice become a self-defining mechanism.

I have an opinion that those with anger management issues shouldn't watch football if their team habitually loses (Like my states, team). Letting yourself wig out, becomes a re-action in alot of different situations.

This place could do damage if you really think that you can use anomity to strike out. It will show up everywhere.

If they're not trolling, I would say the majority of the questioners on this topic can be split into two categories - academics and those who need validation for their point of view. The first most likely don't care what the other person's viewpoint is because they are only looking for information. The second care very much. Either of them, however, will get a much better result if they use respect. If not, a lot of people won't even try to answer or will answer sarcastically.

Answer 3

Trying to get someone on your side can be a dicey thing. What if you're wrong? Would you really want others to support your false viewpoint on something? It's better to aim for the whole truth and realize this will mean some painful adjustments to your own point of view.

As to respect here on YA, there are some who give it and others who don't. And you just have to choose what you think is worth paying attention to and ignore the rest.

Answer 4

I care that people are on my side in the sense that I hope they wish me well even if they disagree with what I say. I don't need people to agree with me, although I hope they listen and consider what I say. Of course, I will reciprocate. I want to learn about others, understand what gives them peace, what hurts them. People have to make up their own minds about truth, spirituality, and beliefs. That's our right. Respect and diplomacy show self-restraint, maturity, and professionalism, qualities we all need for effective interaction in today's international arenas. Respect smooths communication, especially when someone strongly opposes us. We can listen better. Thank you for asking this question.

Answer 5

I am here to answer questions as well as I can. I can disagree with people and respect their beliefs. It is hard to respect insults to others. But respect is important everywhere.

Answer 6

I care when people are total idiots, and my purpose here is to inform people on beleifs. I try to be very respectful. Unlike some people who put people down as much as possible! I do admit I wish that everyone would for once in their life, be involved with Jehovah's Witnesses. But, I don't try to force people.

Answer 7

Yes. When atheists or others who are of contrary beliefs to mine (I'm a Christian) are disrespectful, it makes me NOT want to answer their questions, because I don't want to waste my time.

I could say the same of my fellow Christians, too. We ALL need to be respectful.

I'll be honest though, and I know atheists aren't going to like this: It's a waste of time trying to "convert" most Christians here. MOST of us haven't always been Christians; we've been atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, Wiccan, pagan, et cetera...and we have NO desire to go back.

We've found our answers, and we're happy with them.

I don't mind when atheists ask questions, so long as it's because they REALLY want to know, not so that they can make fun of our difference of opinion.

I know Christians sometimes do it, too, so I'm not singling out atheists, or at least I'm not trying to.

We should all try to be respectful.

Answer 8

respect makes a difference in every situation. RESPECT should not be a variable, it's necessary in EVERY interaction between human beings.
