No we're not.

I can't sing like Mariah Carey, or play basketball like Kobe Bryant, or fight like Jet Li, etc, etc, etc.

People are not equals. It does sound nice on paper though.

We are all human beeings, and you should respect everyone in the same way. Of course there are people who are very skilled in a certain thing and their opinion about the issue is more experience based and for this the probabilty that the opinion is right is more high. But this does not mean that other opinions are not important or that opinions from "legends" are always true.

Everybody deserves respect. That means you should listen to others and you should be nice to them, no matter where they come from or how skilled they are.

We are all equal in the point that we are all worth the same, for this our opinions are worth the same, too. Nobody should have the right to use offending language just because he/she is a legend. And it does not matter if you don't show respect to a legend or to a new player. Fore this a claim to show legends some respect just because of their legend status is not valid because it is based on the point, that not everybody deserves the same respect and that opinions of people are not equally worth.

Even rapists and murderers deserve respect. When you don't show them respect you are not better than they are. I know you come from a country in which there is punishment to death. But in my opion this is not the right way to handle with criminals.
But this is realy another matter. We talked about the players of regnum, which all deserve the same kind of respect. Not only legends do, nor legends deserve more respect.

I reject such neo-socialistic drivel out of hand. It is utterly morally corrupt thinking, with no basis in logic at all.

I think i can speak for almost all Americans in saying we don't really care about your opinion.

Respect is earned, not bestowed.

Sorry.

This thread is about respect towards so called legends. Don't turn the thread into something else.


Just one thing:

it is not just my opinion, it is the opinion from most civilisated countries, amnesty international and other organisations. Why do you think they don't allow punishment to death? Killing a human is murder, no matter if it is a punishment or what the victim did before.

Depends on how you define respect. A basic respect does not need to be earned, like beeing nice to each other and listen to others opinions. And this basic respect is what I am talking about. I don't talk about respect you have towards someone because she/he did great things. That's another matter.

I agree with the above comment. I also think that even if a person hasn't earned your respect, it doesn't mean you are rude to that person. Maybe the correct term is being civil.
