1. Seems to me there is less and less respect these days in our culture.
A lot of people seem to think being disrespectful and snotty is being assertive, spunky, and cute.

:puke: :puke:

2. That wouldn't play well with the base
The ignorant garbage which comprises the fake christian's base pretend they are pro-life. They love you before you are born and when you are on life support. Any other time, you can just fuck off because you ain't getting no respect.

Seeing their hero, a drug addicted military deserter blathering on about a culture of life is like sex to them.

3. Agreed
respect starts with each individual. And part of respect is trying to understand the viewpoint of another person. I am friends with a woman who is ardently "pro-life" because she was adopted by pro-life activists who believed--and showed by their own actions---that adoption was the option they felt was best. I can disagree, but I can also tell them I admire them for walking their talk.

4. Great point. I'd settle for some focus on the rest of the phrase..
Culture of Life, LIBERTY and the pursuit of HAPPINESS!

5. Respect starts within one's self
and spreads to others.... :thumbsup:
