Is there any? Simply treat others the way you wish to be treated. That's why I respect you Dan! You treat members on this forum with respect and kindness and it's a good feeling to call you my friend even though we haven't met or know one another personally! Jake, I've met in person last year and he's now my SS Buddy for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any? As I read this, its your values not theirs we are talking about. Do you think that the world has the same values all over and they should all be the same as yours?Lets turn it around,if a Filipino arrives in Australia do you think that you should change your values or him?my guess you would say him.But why,its not his country but you think those in their country should have the values of yours.

Is there any? In most cases, respect must be earned and NOT dictated or argued by saying -- "it's my way, or the highway" or words to that effect. If one goes around with a chip on his shoulder simply because of superiority complex (taller, whiter, blacker, richer, whatever......),your relationship with your spouse, girlfriend or the society in which you deal with from day to day, will definitely make you out as abigger target ("stand up for our values"). It only takes one message to the local NPA to have a black ribbon tied to your door. It is a polite but serious warning. It is the Philippines, take it or leave it! Revenge is sweet served on a cold plate, spiced with soy sauce.And just to balance this out, the same arrogant attitude being projected in most streets of Los Angeles will get you without warning. It is southern California, take it or leave.Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy2cebu Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 I don't expect anyone to earn respect from me. I respect all from the word 'go'. However, that respect will diminish if the person abuses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
