Some of the most highly educated people I have ever met in my life have been the most cold and ungiving.
There's a big difference between someone whose grammer and spelling is somewhat lacking, and someone who is simply rude and ignorant. The former is perfectly acceptable; the latter is not.
In answer to your OP, I would say that if you want a NASA scientist/brain surgeon/Attorney General as a mate, then your on the right track. If you want a warm, loving, Joe Bloggs-type, who will treat you like a lady, then maybe you need to change your approach a tad.
I still love my sister, because she is my only sister..
But, Jeepers, she irritates the heck out of me, and I dont respect some of her decisions and life choices.
As regards a romantic partner, yes, I would have to respect them as a man. Whether I agreed with them all the time is a different matter, but Id still respect their ways.
In the city I live in, we have a Correctional Facility that was recently under threat of closure. A big movement was started to "Save the CF", driven in the main by employees and their families of the CF, who were all State Employees, of course.
What most didnt realise was that these employees were not going to lose their jobs at all; they were simply going to be relocated downstate. They have large pension funds, the best benefit packages available and earn way more than is the local norm. What was the harm in asking them to travel a little further?
In comparison, a local supermarket chain closed recently. Although it was bought out, the new owners only kept a certain number of branches open. Ours, unfortunately, was shut, with the lost of many jobs. Alot of these people, who were normal "Joes and Josephines" with no loud voices, had worked there all their lives, were always friendly and accommodating to customers and earned not much over the minimum wage. No appeal was mounted for THEIR jobs. No banners were waived by the community, because they were submerged under the mountain of pity for those poor State Employees who were having to stretch their huge salaries a little.
My point in all this is this; it seems to me that it depends on who you work for and what backing you have from the Big Wigs, as regards who gets to work or not. In answer to the OP, no of course I dont look down on the unemployed; Ive been there. But I certainly think that some should be grateful for what they already have - workwise - and quit the whinging and moaning about a slight drop in pay rates.
