We live in a world of thugs whining about getting "disrespected." It's a shame no one's ever told them that respect is something that must be earned.
So true. I just want to say, "no DISrespect. I respect you according to what you deserve."

I hate to think what it will be like during the dog days of summer when the heat and humidity go up and take peoples tempers with it. There is little regard for life among the 'utes' of today. Where do people get the idea that you are entitled to respect? It's ironic that most of those that demand respect have no idea how to show respect for others.
This kind of makes you worry about the next time a stranger bumps into you.
Not really. I usually apologize. It's called being polite.
Well, the good news is Darwin will weed out half of them and the other half will be in jail. It's really a self correcting problem if you let it run it's course.
You're assuming 1) you'll have the opportunity to apologize, and 2) your apology will be accepted.

That and I stay the **** away from the ****ty parts of town during the wee hours of the morning because I'm in bed so I can get up and go to work to provide for my family.
How busy is a gas station at 1am that you bump into someone accidentally?
Ever worked second shift at a factory where 400 people get off work at 1 am ?
Precisely.
This idea of "you shouldn't be in those parts of town" or "stay inside after 9PM" is defeatism and unalloyed bullcrap. WE own these streets, not the thugs. They are OURS, not theirs. People should be able to walk down any street in this city and thugs should be subject to correction for inappropriate actions, whether that correction comes in the form of an arrest or half a magazine of Corbon DPX in their chest. Time to stop being afraid.
Or, do like I do and live rural. It's quieter, nicer, cleaner and friendlier than 90%of what's inside the loop. Where the biggest issue is "do I shoot the coyote in the field or wait for him to get into the yard".
