[Choose Ye This Day]

Those who demand respect do not deserve it.

So, God does not deserve respect?

I always thought that the vulgar language used by young people was just attention seeking behavior. I assume most kids grow out of it, because I rarely hear an adult speaking profanity out in public (unless they're drunk or something.)

I don't have ANY friends that speak that way now, you know, more than the occasional emphatic slightly off-color word. (Nothing that wouldn't be allowed here on FR.)

I did work with a guy who just had an unbelievable potty mouth. He just acted like a big juvenile, even though he was probably in his mid-thirties. Not only did he use the most profane words you could imagine, he would yell at his wife on the phone, talk rudely to the patients and just exuded a general bitter attitude. I certainly didn't stick around him, but I always felt kinda bad for him. What on earth coulda made him that way?

*Anyone* who demands respect does not deserve it. Respect is earned, not given. Demanding respect is a mark of immaturity every bit as much as an inability to speak a sentence without using a dirty word.
