because there are other ways to gain respect, and i dont even know why your asking such a question, if your mother hit you regardless of your age, wouldnt you think it was wrong?
those two things have nothing in common.
and this post makes no sense
child abuse is illegal because children cannot all defend themselves and need help to protect them from bad people.
you are supposed to respect elders because they are old and have been through alot and wouldnt you want respect at that age?
regardless of age, everyone should respect each other equally.
You’re talking about two totally different things. Just because you hit a child when they use bad language against you or misbehave, does not mean they are automatically going to respect you.
Why do you equate both of those, respect and child abuse, on the same lineage?
I disagree with “equally”, but there is a certain level of respect that should be held for all living things.

why not everything equally?
thats all we are, equal
Are you equal to Einstein? Could you come up with the theory of relativity? Well, no, you couldn’t. Or perhaps your equal to a mentally handicapped person? Once again, no your not, clearly.
So to interact with someone correctly, you must give them the proper amount of respect. Professor’s for instance, must given a great amount of respect, simply because you have to learn from them. This you can do from anybody, if you give them enough respect. If you gave everyone equal respect, you would be giving someone too much (a four year old), or too little (your parents). Respect must be given with appraisal of someones character, or perhaps being.

all of that mind stuff doesnt stop us from all being equal and all deserving equal respect
How exactly, are we equal?

we are all made of carbon and filled with tissue and blood and organs.
all of those things like skills are only given value by us in the human world.
we are the only animals that put such things so high up in importance
But none of that is equal. We do not weigh the same, our genetics are not the same, and we eat differently, so our chemical composition is different. We are all human, but we are definitely not equal.
And we especially don’t think the same.

our genetics all link back to the same.
weight is a variable, all playstaion 3’s are the same, but i put a brick in mine, it weighs different but it does the same thing and looks the same aside from the brick, just replace brick with fat.
most of the things we do are done to try and make ous all different, we are the same coming out and the same in the end, the middle stuff matters not

aint that the obvious truth, just look at this site! XD.
doesnt change equality.
i respect you as much as i respect my mother and as much as i respect my dog and Hitler and stalin and jesus of nazareth.
they are all creatures who have tried to do what they thought was right and all deserving of the same respect due to the true inexistance of right and wrong.
no body deserves more or less.
you dont deserve more for trying to prove some people do, and you dont deserve less for trying to show why some desverve none.
do you respect people with a higher BMI than you as much as you do yourself? how about people with different genders and viewpoints and sexualities?
do they desevre less than you because of the differences of you?
are you the only one doing things correctly? are are you doing the same as them, neither correct nor incorrect?
Look, there really is nothing for you to go on here. People are not equal, otherwise we’d all be clones eating the same thing at the same time in the same quantities.
If you respect me the same as hitler, then you have a problem when analyzing scenarios. I am not hitler, thus hitler deserves a different kind of respect. For instance, if you were able to travel backwards in time, and had the chance to speak with hitler while he was in power, you would not say to him “I respect you the same as I respect anybody else in this world”. That is because he would likely kill you, and you have to respect that or die.

plus we are going off topic (even though one never really existed.)
you look at equality too literal for me. i see the checks and balances that make you no better or no worse than myself.
Better is a fickle word. It’s both qualitative and subjective. Meaning it has many meanings. For instance, I may better at tennis than you are, while you are better at mathematics. But to qualify one of us as wholly better than the other we’d need to know the whole story. Now since that cannot be done, we have to settle on calling ourselves “equal”. But in time, such differences may be measured. The equality standard in society may fall, and we might end up with a society like Gattacca(it’s an exceptionally good movie). Most people, including myself, don’t want that. How to prevent such a thing….well it’s difficult.

ill talk about my POV on this tomorrow cause i’m tired, so i leave you now with “thanks for the movie suggestion”
Your welcome, I think you might enjoy it, if it doesn’t make you sad. Ironic as that sounds.
