This is funny; its an idea for a thread that came into my mind a few days ago..
Nothing puts the shivers up my spine quicker, than when I see a post on here, or I hear a spoken sentence start off with "With the greatest of respect...". Its like saying, in the terms of a legal matter "Without Prejudice"..
9 times out of 10, the following statement is exactly the opposite of being respectful. Some folk seem to think that by putting that at the beginning of a sentence, it gives them free rein to say what the heck they like, because of course they mean it with "respect"...
I think the idea of respect is now sadly lacking in the world. In all its forms. Im not sure how this has come about really, but it is very sad to observe.

I do my best to respect others, and only ask to be respected in return. I will say it's one of the main cornerstones to any relationship, along with trust and communication.

LOL...Petal, you made me think of my days in the Army when we could say anything we wanted to someone of higher rank, so long as we preceded it with "With all due respect..."

I'd say at times resepect is lacking.Especially when it comes to people respecting other people.We've become such a ME ME generation.

I think one has to respect oneself first before they are able to really respect others well.

Very good thread Bentlee, I see so much disrespect in the world now that it just makes me wonder if we really do know what the word means.
I was brought up to respect others and through the years and some trials have also learned how to respect myself.

I think if I were to really respect myself as I should I would endure the hell of quitting smoking today. I must not like myself very much cause I am smoking like a chimney.

Hi Dru good thoughts, do you give immediate respect or earned with someone as time goes by. Myself i give immediate an allow it to take it's own course in the friendship. :)------ This poll is Archived ------

I'm sure everyone is still respectful. 
It's just harder to give it if they don't get it.

I gave away something that I think will help me respect myself and other (actually I taped it to my moniter with a big NO on it). I don't know what I am going to do in an hour but I am determined not to disrespect anyone today. NO smoking!!!!!!!

If you have Cream of Tarter, put a 1/2 tsp in a glass of orange juice every morning for a week to a week and a half. It flushes the old nicotine out of your system, which gets you over the cravings faster. Warning, though, you'll pee brown for a while as it flushes out...but after a week, week and a half of this, no more cravings.
I just had a friend tell me of this remedy the other day, and according to him it's worked well for him and a couple of others.
Oh, Cream of Tartar is a spice...if you don't have it, go get it today and use it as soon as you get home, then every morning for the remainder of the week or so.
Good luck, Ave.
