once again, like urbanhatemongerer said, you do have to earn respect. also, the point has been brought up by alejo and artistintheambulance that without facts to back up your statements, they command very little respect. I so respect most people's opinions here, because a lot of people take the time to back up their opinions with facts and valid arguments. It's very apparent when I respect your opinion because I'll take the time to post valid arguments and try to have a meaningful and insightful discussion. On the other hand, if you post rediculous statements with nothing to back it up, i'll most likely either just ignore it or counter it with a really sarcastic comment.
