I demand respect from all of you.

nahhhhh

I really do love when you pop in just to undermine me instead of contributing to a conversation :D

I think people deserve their inherent dignity and nothing more. Respect is earned.

Though I do think parents deserve a level of respect from kids because the parents are literally providing everything, so therefore they have earned it.

I literally have no respect for my parents and they know it
You don't deserve respect for something you made a commitment to do yourself

well jeez don’t go that far

Like Ella said, I think Generation X is a problem that we’re not looking at quite yet. There are many good Gen Xs, but a good portion of them are still bathing in money (idk if that came across weird but), but who in every generation isn’t?

And I still have respect for my parents who are similar in a situation to millennials even though they have nothing for me and they still manage to support my stupid ass

You broke my whistling by making me laugh.

You should respect them though. If only because they are the reason your existence is fueled.

I agree with Dom. They could have just left you on the side of the road, but they didn't.
They still provide for you even when you are being a lil shit.

Parents are worthy

Oh lord, you need to give consent to be born now? T_T

Honestly

THEY clap ARE clap YOUR clap PARENTS
IT IS THEIR JOB

Oh lord, you need to give consent to be born now? T_T

Honestly

Doncha know Eris? Consent is everything.

Not really? They choose to do it. Like I said: side of the road, adoption, blah blah blah.

It was a reference : /
Haven't you heard about that? There's a dude who actually tried suing his parents for not asking consent to be born
I didn't mean it for myself, it was a joke

(sigh)

Exactly. They should not have had a child if they didn't want to care for it.

Well it is their job, as in it (in most cases) would be morally reprehensible for them not to take care of you. But they still should be respected. Army folks "just do their job" as well, and they (probably) deserve all the respect we give them.

Well sometimes you can’t decide… rape exists. Also ima not stay

Well that's a completely different circumstance. The woman isn't required to care for the child as it grows up then.

Actually . . . I'm with Miriam here
I don't think just because parents give you basic necessities they inherently earn your respect.
Or not that they earn your respect. More like giving you basic necessities shouldn't be the only reason you respect them. If they're shitty but they give you food and a roof over your head that doesn't mean you should respect them. Just because they haven't thrown you out on to the street doesn't make them good parents. Those are the basic things you need to live and the basic things parents sign up for when they have a child.
Doing the bare minimum doesn't earn respect.

Yes but they do a really dangerous job that they choose to do (for the most part)

I'd say it still does. They are keeping you alive and giving you education and such.

Very true. Doing only the basics makes them a bad parent.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't respect them. (Unless they're outright abusive maybe.) They still are doing all the work to raise a human being. That is hard. It deserves respect.
