But because I am a straight shooter I lose your respect. I don't really want or need your respect... and I don't care for your attitude towards me. You think I am your peer... but do we really have anything in common (anymore)?
You're the one on here lobbing grenades at people so don't get upset when somebody picks one up and tosses it back your way. I feel bad because this is all happening in Karl's thread but the truth is that you want to make it a double standard. You started out saying that the kids were trying to be disrespectful towards Karl and the whole point is there is NO way that you could know that. You state it as fact but offer no concrete evidence to your cause and you still feel inclined to press the issue further. And you didn't lose my respect for being a straight shooter. You lost it because you neglect to see that perhaps not everyone has a predisposition to act in a derogative manner toward others like you exhibit. A straight shooter wouldn't lump everyone into categories based off their age and hence, how they should be respected. I thought a mutual respect for one another and the love of an awesome car was what brought us all together. That was our common ground. But you're right as I respect everyone whether they are young or old. I'm not discriminate and would never "just give them the boot" as you so eloquently put it because they are young. That's the point, that's the issue and that's what you're trying to overlook and pass on for your own personal validation. This is my last post in here because from the extent of my postings, it's clear that you're not going to take a look at this from a different point of view and see if it is justified and if there is anything positive you can take from all this.
Good luck on your journey through life and may it not be as bitter and deceiving as you try to make it out to be.
