Byte,

"But actually I think you just want to teach her how to fight, not put her in any situation like what you HAD to fight against when you were a kid. Which is a big difference."

That is correct.

No worries, I got it. Appreciated.

Hi Signe, I don't know why anyone cares whether your daughter watches Hanna with you guys, its none of their business and its just a movie.

Yes, every time words fail him, he posts a vid of a dramatic scene from... something. Well, that will be something he and his child can share, until she grows up....

Yes, I know, that was unbelievably snarky.

But WULF, honey-child... what are you going to do on day she comes home crying because nobody will play with her, or no boy has asked her to the prom? IF she starts out with your chip on her shoulder, that is almost a given.

Want to teach her something of value? Teach her to be an EMT.

I was the worst most vicious chip on the shoulder bitch on the planet when I was in school, and I got asked to the prom. I really don't think it's going to be an issue.

EMT is not a bad idea though. EMT + Martial Arts = behold amazing

Yeah, this is the self-defeating nature of "respect is EARNED." That means we all start at disrespect, disrespect is the default. Somehow, folks whom we are disrespecting are supposed to earn our respect. By what? Disrespecting us back? But as we see, it doesn't work that way. Disrespect begets disrespect every damn time.

And then you have the case of Anthony here, who routinely returns respect for disrespect and gets nothing but more disrespect for his trouble. So, this rule to live by, "You GIVE respect, you GET respect" is at least intellectually dishonest. It basically means, "I will respect you if I damn well feel like it and, really, I probably won't."

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Sorry, HKC, I worded that response poorly if you took that from it. I don't start with disrespect as the default. I tend to open with respect for others upon meeting them - basic respect, civility. They can LOSE that respect, or they can GAIN MORE, depending on their words and deeds, the more I get to know them. And about the highest level of respect I can give someone is to say to them, "I want YOU on my bank-robbing team!" Not everyone makes the cut; in fact, very few do. The bank-robbing team is a thought exercise: You're going into a tense situation, life or death, do or die. Who do you want with you? Which five or six people are the most indispensable in your life for such situations? Who will have your back, be loyal and fearless, stay cool under pressure, and never ever betray you, no matter what hell may come? Who can you rely on to be there if you need them, to be there if they say they're going to be there? Those people are your true friends, and the ones who deserve your very highest levels of respect.

Hello,

I have a similar criteria for friendship. If I tell you that you are my friend, it's because I think I can count on you when everything goes to heck in a handbasket. I often feel that if you have more friends than you can count on your fingers and toes, you're either very wealthy in love or too indiscriminate.

Sometimes I think of someone as a friend even with very limited information to go on. You never know for sure if your estimation of someone is completely accurate until something bad happens and you need help.

At the moment, there are two people on this forum whom I've never met that I feel I could call tomorrow and say, "Hey, I'm in town, I'm penniless, and I need somewhere to stay. Can you take me in for a few days?" And I think they'd say yes.

These people could expect the same from me. Though at least one of them would probably be surprised to hear I hold them in such esteem.

--Anthony
