Respect is earned. I mean, I'm always to polite, even to those that don't deserve any respect, but it takes time to build true respect.

I think respect is deserved based on do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Even when folks don't deserve respect we have a duty to still show it - to present a model of what respect really looks like.

I tend to somewhat mix those two. I earn everyone some basic respect at the beginning, then depending on their actions and attitude my respect for them either increases or decreases.

I think respect is similar to trust...you do both with limitations (Respect more then trust of course.)but never put it past someone to do something to ruin both. (can you really have one without the other?) i think they kind of go hand and hand.
But to better answer your question, I feel as though one should have a certain amount of respect for someone whom they dont know..it is up to that person to show how much they really deserve.

Everyone deserves respect, as you get to know the person you continue to respect them or make decision they are not worthy

I think when meeting someone, you have to offer a level of immediate respect. From there the respect level either grows or diminishes, depending on the person's actions and beliefs.

Respect is earned. Manners are freely given.

I think (as far as manors go) you should automatically give a certain amount of respect right away. It is then up to them to either gain more or loose it all.

Respect is an action performed by the giver. The giver can chose at his whim.
