I know you're not serious here, Sexo. But I hear this from teens all the time and it really sticks in my craw. I automatically accord respect and courtesy to all people. They can
lose it of course, mostly through behaviour towards me and other people. But I am never arrogant enough to assume anyone needs to
earn it; as if I am some sort of arbiter of what is what it means to be a human being.
