Respect

[MetalAtlas]

I know its been a great day, but there was something that really set me off today. I kept it to myself mostly, but it's bugged me alot from time to time, and I know it bugs a few of my friends so I'm gonna go on a rant here.



Respect. Most of you, I assume, know what that is. The question is, do you show it? And don;t even jump to a straight yes. think about it for a second. I don;t mean people you like, I mean most people in general. It takes more heart to respect someone you don't know, and even more to respect someone you don't agree with or don't get along with. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that's fine. However, we should realize that our opinions are not more important than the next person, and we are free to share our opinions but not shove them down other people's throats.



Instance 1- There are two of my friends quarreling. It had gotten quite out of hand for no reason. whatever, i'm not getting in the middle. So therefore, I don;t want to be dragged in. Or here this or that about the other person. I am perfectly capable of coming to my own conclusions about people. What you tell me about someone isn't going to change my mind about them, I am going to find out for myself, give everyone an equal chance. Which brings me to instance 2



Instance 2. Girls and their standards. Now this is slightly more vague and slightly more personal, but I'm sick and tired of all your stupid standards. I mean, yeah, I know their are guys out their, that are douchey that only care about that ass or what the **** ever. And to me that is vile. I am not into porn. I am not into smacking that hoe or some other stupid guy stereotypical ****. I treat woman with respect, go out of my way to make them feel happy, just like I do for anyone else. Sometimes, i don;t even have to know you, I'll still go out on a limb. It really pisses me off when I hear girls make fun of guys, or quote 'they have standards'. I'm sorry. Did I ask to look like this? Noooo. Are you really so shallow as to only care what I look like instead of liking me for my personality? Yeah I thought so. You are a hypocrite. You say you hate when guys do that to you, but you'll sit there and do it to the rest of us, well deserving guys. I'm tired of people having their pick of guys, choosing the dumb douchebags after douchebags, and then complaining, to me nonetheless of how they want a nice guy in their life and oh how can they ever find one. **** you. If you cant open your eyes then you dont deserve happiness. I can honestly say I would give anyone a chance. I would willingly date anyone, get to know them and judge from there. Things change in a relationship. I know there are always friends, but sometimes the rules of the game change while being romantic. But ****, everyone always think they know everything.



Bottom line, you're all shallow. I'm disappointed. Their are plenty of deserving guys, a lot of us that spend alot of time alone, listening to you tell us about your hard days, about your family issues, lending an ear and a heart. Sometimes we long for more.



Second bottom line. Respect everyone. Respect my friends, and respect those that have it harder than you. They have feeling too. I dont care if you have standards. Stop being dumb.
