I was brought up to be polite and curteous to people and to expect the same back. In today's society i think politeness and common curtesy have fallen by the wayside in favour of people saying 'well this is my opinion and i have a right for it to be heard' reguardless of how it impacts on others.

As for everyone deserving respect no matter what - i really can't take with that. Respect should merited on actions and words rather than something to be taken for granted.
Absolutely right Heat .. I couldn't agree more !
