Every person is entitled to respect as a human being. I do not believe that respect is earned. Every person is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. Do some people conduct themselves in a way that causes others to repsect them less? Of course. But to treat any person with comtempt only lowers oneself to that person's level. Our society is forgetting how to act in a civil manner.
No matter how stupid a person acts, I still treat him civily. I may not like the person, but I still conduct myself in a civilized manner.
