these are noble ideals and i try to live by many of them, but they cannot be legislated.
who can say whether i truly respect you or not?
it would get to be like thought control.
meanwhile...i do respect you.

No one has an innate right to be respected. Just like healthcare, it involves something that has to be given from one person to another, whether freely or in exchange for something else, and therefore can not be claimed as a right.

I agree

Respect must be earned, it is not a right. I will not give my respect to George Bush, or any US citizen who helped elect him. Watching him on TV is like watching "Thunderbirds", you can't help looking for the strings.

waste of time.

you probably do have the right to respect. Unfortunately it ususally comes from quarters you wish that it hadn't.

responsibility: generally avoid giving it to those according you the suspect respect, otherwise it might turn into onus or encumbrance.

attractive environment: only if you plan for everyone on the planet to live 1 kilometre from each other, or in a packed telephone booth, or in an industrial dockland, or nude except for 4 restless yet casually draped ferrets, or...

at the same time and in the same place. or not.

privacy bit: try and fit (sorry) that in with attractive environment.

everyones.

1)We have the responsibility to disrespect the incompetent
2)We have the right to be treated with honesty and contempt
3)We are a disrespectful, rogue non-member of the NSun
4)We have a responsibility to point out other's wrongs and laugh
5)We have a responsibility to point out weaknesses in others defense
6)We have a responsibility to clean up after ourselves
7)We have a right to adopt any account we wish
8)We have a right to read anything written
9)We respect the right of other's to ignore us

The PROA is just offering up our right's and responsibilities as another's opinion. We mean no intentional disrspect.

1)We have a right to be repected.
So, is this "repecting" when you go in for rehab after having surgery on your pectoral muscles?

Respect is not something granted to anyone. Respect is something that is earned.

As for the rest of it... this has no place in politics. If one expects politics to create everything and solve all problems, then you're in for a rude awakening.

Sporkopolis will not raise your children. Our nation will not tell you how to live. Our nation will not pick up after your messes.

Some things needn't be proposed, because politics is not one in the same with morals and upbringing.

We the People's Republic Of Amyth will gladly raise your children as fanatically loyal Amythologists. Any lost or unwanted children can be left at the boarders in a proper wicker basket with a 2" by 4" card attached listing details such as name, date of birth, blood type, any known medical conditions, and country of origion.

We thank you all for your children...
