I've noticed over the last 10 years or so the meaning of respect has changed. I blame Oprah. What is now often called respect is what I know as being polite. I'm polite to people I dont know but respect is something that's earned

very true. My earlier post as evidence, I really meant A) Be polite. B).... curse you, oprah!

I don't disagree with that. You are 100% right. I'm just saying that what was done was underhanded. It wasn't a debate or something discussed or anything. It was propaganda, nothing more. And I'm not talking about every instance, just this one. I take each event as it comes so as not to generalize.

(Assuming you're still talking about "Obsession") Really? And you know this, how? Because a bunch of irrational people are jumping up and down threatening to murder other people?

I'm not so sure about that. One of the bitches that *some* Moslems make about Americans is that we don't use our left hands to wipe -- you know, like "the Perfect Man" did -- which, in their view, makes us both (physically) dirty and (morally) unclean.

You lie. Of course.

That is because you are *intellectually dishonest!* How could someone who is a *fool* and a *liar* possibly have a constitution that was not imperfect?

Yes, how could +anyone+ interpret *this* as a reasonable right to _freedom_ of *expression*? 16. Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, which includes 1. freedom of the press and other media; 2. freedom to receive or impart information or ideas; 3. freedom of artistic creativity; and 4. academic freedom and freedom of scientific research. 2. The right in subsection (1) does not extend to 1. propaganda for war; 2. incitement of imminent violence; or 3. advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm. I think >he< doesn't like 16.1.4.

The disconnect might be the difference between respect and courtesy. I'm courteous to people I don't respect. I don't need to be discourteous and show my disrespect.

True. However, there are two types of respect: one that is shown and one that is inside. Being polite and common courtesy is being respectful. Just because you don't respect someone does not mean you don't show them respect (i.e., be polite). We're told to always respect our elders, even when we don't really. The act and the feeling are two separate things. The act is what I was referring to since no one really knows what you feel inside. However, even the act seems to be disappearing lately.
