Hey All,
I hear many railbird members talking about treating others with respect. Then I watch them treat others in such a disrespectful manner it's the exact definition of irony. I don't think they know anything about respect. If they did, they would diligently model it instead of mock it and throw the word around whenever they want to intimidate, threaten and crap on others. I think their idea of respect is a FEAR ME because of who I am. Well this isn't the mafia and you aren't Al Capone peeps. If you really cared about respecting others you wouldn't model it in hypocrisy. Respect is earned, not given. No amount of thug mentality or behavior will change that. If you want people to respect you, here is a great bit of advice... Try being a human being.

Of course it matters where it's coming from. You can't begin to change, mend or fix anythign without first knowing the root cause of it all.
Yes, Respect is a two way street. And this seems to be the base of something much deeper. And your right watchdog, insight on the whole picture is everything and nothing can be fixed without knowing where it's all coming from.
With that said... Have a great nite all!!
And yes AP , My Brother, you are the epitomy of pure Respect!!!
Seems to me that the OP was asked the question of sorts, why are others answering for him?
When someone is asked a question, perhaps it would be RESPECTFUL if you allowed them to speak for themselves? Just a thought.
RESPECT!!

Amen Franky!!!
Well said
brian, I just simply stated that there's some hypocrites amongst us. I agree with Caaat, respect is a 2 way street and it needs to be earned, not just blindly given. Also, people need to get ALL sides of a story before forming a legitimate opinion about something. Just hearing a story about someone from a friend doesn't automatically make it true. Things like that are the reason why we have the judicial system. BOTH sides are presented and only then, is someone's guilt or innocence decided.
im confused
he didnt make any specific names
he made a comment about what he has seen
so why the comment about treading carefully
are people not allowed to voice their private opinions
I for one know of definite people who fit this category
but seeing that he did not go into specifics i guess i am confused
