Just thinking about how wrong the phrase is, "You have to earn respect".
No, you have to earn disrespect. As a human being, I'm naturally going to respect you if I don't know you. It's when you earn my disrespect, that I'll stop showing respect.
I give people respect freely, until they prove to me that they don't deserve it.
@ned There's a baseline level of respect that I'll afford everyone, unless and until they prove that they don't deserve it. But there's also additional respect that they can earn through their actions.
