Respect All Elders? No thanks!

[Richareens]

Just recently, I've had the magical honour of chancing upon a much older man on this site who I believe have absolutely mesmerised me with his tragic intelligence even at 57 years of age, for I utterly couldn't help but well... feel sorry for this genius of a pea-brain.

From threatening to beat me up to demanding that I meet up with his ancient, self-righteous ass just so he could teach me a lesson, I was indeed touched and deeply inspired by his wisdom yet amused at the same time.

Once upon a time, there was a barbaric bozo. He would try hard to be virtuous but no matter how hard he tried, he was instantly declared piteous. I was the villain, the witch. He was the Extra and the Unwanted. Kidding, too savage, but you get the hint.

It all started with a comment, from my side:

Those downvotes are from sulky, butthurt men LOL.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

In an instant, some random man comes flying out of the bush, about as triggered as King Kong banging hardcore on his chest

What's up with all your demeaning remarks , ms Singapore? Got a problem?

'WOW, this grumpy old man cared to checked out my profile. Meh, lemme see his profile.

Lo and behold, his cover page is of a young Filipina wife posing with what seems like an ugly Barbie doll car. He's there in the profile pic with dem shades smiling away looking all smug and shit. Typical. Ah.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Me: Yes, I have a problem. Demeaning shit begets demeaning shit. Bye

Again, the old man shrieks in retaliation:

I'll be in Kuatan , Malaysia this up coming November. If you want , I'll teach you the reason why you should keep your f.. mouth shut. Stupid little girl...

You Asian piece of shit! We'll see how rugged you really are when we meet!

Talk is a cheap bitch. Oh and I'll hit you so hard.

Wait, his wife is Asian... Oops. What an asshole, demeaning his own wife indirectly? Interesting.

I told you already , I'll be there in Kuantan shortly. I'll help you make it happen. If your for real...

Lol, as if I have time for peasants like him. Bwahahaha.

I searched your name up online. I have nudes of you. I found your number too. Wanna own up now?

Someone must be so triggered that his wife never fought back and now that a young girl like me is doing so, he feels powerless. Yuck. Stupid daddy.

Needless to say, he gets agitated as he realises he's talking to the wall. Remember, I'm in office doing work and ain't got time for peasants :) And he intrudes again, with a notification popping after not having heard from me.

Ahh , all of a sudden quiet

Soon after, a kind human being breaks the silence for me, but this old man is reluctant to give up. Alas, it's his last straw. And so he argues further:

I'm acting like a jerk? No I'm not , and please dont reinforce a person who's talking filthy crap to their elders , including you.

If you want to side with someone like that, then your no different.

She's full of filthy words and quite the jerk herself. If you want to reinforce her stance , then your just the same as her.

That's right , western woman.. in the Pacific islands we teach differently. Our cultures are way different than yours. Over hea , you get a slap upside your effn head for being disrespectful. Her culture and my culture are alittle different , but neither are your culture... so but out..

Moral of story:

I kiss the asses of all elders even if they treat me like shit. Because I'm a dumb fuck who can't stand up for herself. People, listen up. Respect all your elders. If they hit you, be grateful and feel blessed. You're not allowed to ever stand up for yourself. Even to creepy old men over the Internet. Even if they ask you for nudes. Even if they order you to do shit you're not comfortable doing. People, ALL ELDERS ARE GODS. They're always right! Legend has it that being an elder is a green light to behaving like a jerk. Long live the Ancient, Salty Ancient Kings and Queens!

DISCLAIMER:

Respect is earned, bitch. You don't demand it. That's all for now, bye bye.

[lizziepooh03]

Oh sweet memories. lol!

I am the kind human being referenced in this question so I have a bit familiarity with the examples referenced and here are my thoughts on this matter.

To @Richareens - You are correct. Elders do not get respect just because they are elders if they do something to loss that respect.

Elders will lose respect if they do something like if they tell a 19 yr old girl on the internet that they want to meet in person to teach her a lesson and slap her. Or search her out on the internet to threaten her they found her nudes (I did not know this happened. Wow!! Talk about being a little too inappropriate and strange!!).

And they do all this because they did not like something someone said on the internet! And at the same time, they expect respect just because of their age. Yeah, good luck with that. *rollseyes

To @Djaaay As I said previously, give it a rest already. You acted like a jerk. Saying you did not threaten that it would be *you* personally to teach her a lesson, is not only a lie but it is also a distinction that does not matter. You wished her bodily harm - whether that harm would be from you personally or not does not matter. I believe G&G has now scrubbed your comments but I remember them and @Richareens quoted them though she graciously did not attach your name to them. You outed yourself that those were your comments so G&G can not hold that against @Richareens.

And I am glad she saved them. It is a good thing to display this kind of behaviour when it occurs especially since it is so funny and ironic because respect is insisted at the same time this pathetic and disrespectful behavior is happening.

Maybe you should re-read your comments that have been quoted in this question and think about whether your actions are something I should respect?

I can tell you, I have very little respect for you based on your actions and it is a shame for you, because I am one of the few people I know that always starts with respecting and believing an individual when I first encounter them, even on the internet. lol!

[Djaaay]

Oh shut your ass effn Haole. Funny how some people like to jump in and act like they going to be fair, but don't see it for what it is either. My wife wants to knock her teeth out , I'm not idiot. Tf do you know about out here , and you live in another part of the world. You willing to come out here and stand with her to back her up? If not then zip your lip

[lizziepooh03]

@Djaaay And with responses like that, please tell me again why I should respect you?

I mean, other than the 13 yr difference in our age, my elder. *bows down and kisses her elder's feet

/Sarcasm

[Djaaay]

I'm not looking for respect. I will act upon someone disrespecting me tho. This isn't your fight or your business. Why are you acting up?

[Richareens]

@lizziepooh03 Very well said! I agree with everything. ❤

[Richareens]

Oh and let us ignore that dickhead and his embarrassing wife while he rants awat. Those violent peasants ain't shit😂 0 respect. Yawns.

[lizziepooh03]

@Djaaay Yet another lie. The whole point of this thread was about comments you made to me about elders and how your culture is all about that and I quote, "Over hea [here] , you get a slap upside your effn head for being disrespectful."

It is an untruth to say you did not insist on respect as an elder just like it was a lie to say you did not say you personally wanted to teach @Richareens a lesson.

And as to why I got involved, I saw a person threaten and *try* to intimidate another user.

Bad is me if I let that go without calling it out. I saw you acting like a jerk. That is how I got involved.

The more pertinent question is, why did *you* get involved? How did a comment on the internet (granted - you really did not like the comment but still...) how did a comment on the internet lead you to threaten bodily harm to another user and threaten intimidation by knowing about nudes photo? That is the more pertinent question.

I mean this sincerely. Something is wrong w/your reaction.

[Djaaay]

You know , you just dont get it , do you. Insisting on respect comes back at you when you blatantly disrespect first. Stop siding with your fellow woman because she's a woman.

[Djaaay]

And by the , way... your very inquisitive. Maybe your getting yourself involved when you really shouldn't.

[Djaaay]

You say there's something wrong with my reaction , that means your saying there's something wrong with our culture out here. Your men , dance like our women... if you can't understand our culture , there's always a sure fire way to learn... disrespect us

[lizziepooh03]

@Djaaay You are a fool and not only a fool but a disingenuous fool to boot.

I am saying something is wrong w/your reaction because everyone at anytime will disagree with someone on the internet and they do not threaten bodily harm or cyber stalk someone to find ammunition.

You did these things. Though you may try to distance yourself, the truth remains - you did these things.

This you did though you deny it but it does not change the fact that you did these things and just because you disagree with someone on the internet. Very pathetic and tragic. :(

Get over it already. Let me let you in on a little secret; everyone disagrees with someone on the internet. It should not be a big deal.

You made it nuclear. You threatened and tried to intimidate someone because they disagree with you. That is on you and you alone and should not be, God forbid, any reflection on any culture you are trying to hide behind.

Own up to what you have done. At least have the courage to do that. :(

[Djaaay]

Your not very smart are you? Me and that girl don't live in your culture or your neck of the woods. What you do in your cultural area is for you people over there , not us over here. We dont care about how the people In the US mainland deal with your problems , and we dont care what you think of the way we bring up our children. I know your trying to be a good Samaritan and all that , but thats nothing out here. I never back down from anything period , so wrong guy there. Why dont you quote the first dicusting words out of her mouth towards me as she replyed. Let's start there...

[lizziepooh03]

@Djaaay My interest and my patience has been lost so this will be my last comment. Not that it will matter since reason does not matter with you but I am a sucker for lost causes so here goes...

This is the comment that started all of it. I hope everyone is paying attention because it is so bad and juicy that it made a man almost 40 years her senior lash out and threaten to cause her bodily harm. And not only did he not stop at bodily harm, but he found her out on the internet and found some nudes of hers and threatened her with those.

All for this comment... are you all ready for it... it is a dosey...

"Those downvotes are from sulky, butthurt men LOL."

Wow! Such a horrible comment! So deserves what you did. /sarcasm

You are a fool. You have acted like a jerk and instead of admitting it, you have just proven how much of a jerk you are. Please get over people saying shit you do not agree with. The only thing you can control is you and you need to get control of yourself, please!!

[Djaaay]

You didn't quote her replying to me. Why? Are you hiding something you your self wouldn't agree with? Come on , spit it out. You wanted to back her up , so let's all hear it. Funny how you refuse to

[Richareens]

Lizzie slayed your ass with her strong wisdom and stands. Now you may officially talk to the wall, cranky old man.

[Djaaay]

We'll , still waiting?

[kespethdude]

@Djaaay Shut the fuck up, you pedophile scumbag. You got owned, face the facts.

[genericname85]

everybody earns a baseline of respect. the baseline for older people is just a tiny bit higher. hoever that baseline of respect every human deserves can be easily revoked if the person is a douchebag. fuck them if they are. doesn´t matter the age.

[Bananaman177]

You have to understand, 20 years ago, "elders" were the Greatest Generation. They lived through WWII and the Depression and a lot of other shit besides. They were worthy of respect, and well capable of earning it for themselves.

Nowadays, those people are all dead and the vast overwhelming majority of "elders" are baby-boomers. They suck, they've always sucked, they never did anything good, and they squandered every single good thing that all their forefathers had bequeathed to them, and they didn't even bother to raise their own kids, they let the TV do it for them, that's Gen X.

Baby boomers do not deserve any respect, they are the reason there's no economy anymore. Baby boomers voted for every lying politician who ever whispered sweet promises in their ear, and then they stole money from social security, shipped jobs and manufacturing overseas, deregulated the banks, and the boomers lapped it all up because they were living high on the hog and most still are, even though their children and grandchildren will never taste that level of opulence.

my dad was a baby boomer. whatchu tryna say?

[Bananaman177]

@Mathart He stole your children's future.

[Mathart]

he stole what?

[Bananaman177]

@Mathart You don't even know what he stole because you've never seen it.

You are not a citizen, you are human livestock, and your children will be too, and your parents' generation is who signed the contract.

[Mathart]

u good bro? go take a smoke break or some shit. sound like a satanist

[Bananaman177]

@Mathart English your second language?

[Mathart]

everything spelled correctly old man

[Phoenix98]

Ok?

Except there's a problem with your logic, most elders don't demand or even ask to be respected, most of them just are respected because they're respectable and what they have been through and done is respectable.

Secondly no one ever said you had to respect all elders in the first place much less some random nut on the internet.

But the vast majority of elders are people who are respectable people and your right respect is earned but most elders already earned it, a long time ago.

Also you should take the responsibility for posting a inflammatory comment which incited that man to comment in the first place. You have no right to complain when how you worded your comment is a prime target for those exact kinds of people.

And yes what he said was bad and awful but you didn't help matters by fanning the flames. And continuing to piss him off, you could have just done the respectable thing and ignore instead having a pissing contest with him. Which in the end solved nothing.

It seems to me the one who is triggered here is you, if you really felt the need to make an entire mytake slandering/talking about an entire group of people just because of one experience with a random older man online.

And you talk about respect but based on what I am reading here your are neither respectful or respectable yourself. Kind of humorous to me seeing that kind of person preach about respect.

Feel free to comment or don't.

[Richareens]

Uh can you read? 😂

[Phoenix98]

I read your entire mytake, yes.

[Decentguy]

Totally agree with you man

[Djaaay]

@Decentguy. Thank you also , for agreeing

[alessandro_02]

Nicely put.

[Decentguy]

@Djaaay No Prob Man !!!

[Djaaay]

Very well said. Thank you !!

@alessandro_02

Thank you.

[deraz24]

Lol wow he's obviously going through something. Out of all things I bet people still wouldn't say anything to your face on the street lol. But yea elders or not they still have to respect others also, just bc they're older doesn't mean they're entitled to treating others like shit. I was in a store one day and this lady stopped and started a convo with my mom, so this older lady comes out the blue barreling through b/t us not sayin sword so I yell out like you could've said excuse me. I don't tolerate rudeness well.

[DeeperMeaning]

I think we should all have a base level of respect for every person we meet. Especially for those older. When someone is slightly rude I find it's best to bite your tongue and carry on, if someone is threatening and extremely disrespectful then of course stand up for yourself. But on its most generic level, you should generally have a level of respect for your fellow humans, even if they themselves might not have it.

[Richareens]

Much agreed :D

[didigo182]

Then I went through a similar situation (not exactly the same but the meaning was the same) I have the same opinion as yours.

Before I had a great respect for older people but today I see that if someone act like as "F%*king Asshole" it is not his nature that will make him be better.

Many treat others badly especially younger people because their lives were a piece of shit. And I have nothing to do with it, each with it's own problems, nobody's life is easy.

I respect older people for their wisdom, but not for the simple fact that they are old.

[RolandCuthbert]

He might have just deserved to be blocked. But what did he mean about in the "pacific islands"? He is just a sugar daddy and when he gets too wrinkly or becomes broke, that woman is just going to leave him to die alone in old age.

[Richareens]

He was from Hawaii :)

[RolandCuthbert]

haha! That is one lonely Hawaiian man. He isn't living around many folks who share his views.

[Richareens]

I don't intend to be a nasty internet bully or something but damn threatening to hurt me when we meet up was really cringey. Dunno why my article got "popular" because initially it was just 'promoted' but hopefully this myTake opens up some people's eyes regarding the fact that just because they at much older than me doesn't mean I as a younger girl can't speak up formyself. Sad guy lol

[Djaaay]

Opinion owner , ... That woman , my wife is black and Navajo. My culture in the Pacific is a lot different than that on the mainland US. Richareens , knows exactly what im talking about. Out here , we teach respect alittle differently , never said it will be me to actually do the teaching.

[RolandCuthbert]

@Djaaay You mean the respect James Woods commands from his woman?

static4.businessinsider.com/.../....46.46%20pm.png

[Djaaay]

No, I'm not looking for respect. I will act upon disrespect tho.

[RolandCuthbert]

@Djaaay I posted the photo because Richareens says your woman is a fraction of your age. Is that true?

[Richareens]

His wife is my age ahaha

[RolandCuthbert]

Ah, so that is how he commands respect. He simply went to his local high school and found a teenager who didn't know any better.

:D

[Djaaay]

What would you tell me if I blatantly started off by disrespecting you?

[BrittBratt2416]

Honestly there's just a lot of salty bitter old men online, especially on this site. There's just not much you can do about it except try to duck and dodge them.

[Richareens]

Agreed hehe x

[HereToProveMyPoint]

Wow I like this, so much fake and incorrect from the one source is a strange sight indeed, especially one claiming to be so knowledgeable...

[Richareens]

Hehe thank you ❤

[Richareens]

Im actually glad this article of mine didn't get featured. 😂 If not, I'd get so much angry hate 😂 I just want that certain bozo I'm referring to to stalk me again and see this article ahaha

[Djaaay]

Asker... Im right here. Funny how you didn't mention your words to me , but that's ok.

[Richareens]

@Djaaay HELLO! I wanted to know that you stalked me again😉

[Djaaay]

Thanks... ufa

[Richareens]

@Djaaay Massive ufa to you as well :)

[Djaaay]

LMFAOSH...

[xXiTacoXx]

Don't worry about ol' boy. His headed to the cemetery ass is going to die soon anyway.

[Richareens]

I'M DONE 😂😂😂

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Could we say we "dying" on the floor laughing? 🙌

[Richareens]

@errorgoodnameunfound I guess 🙊😂

[kespethdude]

This guy sounds like a sexual predator to me. You should have reported him to the authorities. You are absolutely correct in that respect has to be earned, and scumbags like this certainly don't earn my respect.

[CoffeeGirl456]

I always do respect every age here until I feel something cross my line and irrespective to me as same human, I will use my standard with them because nothing guarantee even this site system that they can improve themselves anymore. Eldest and youngest mean nothings for this site and maybe for real because I found more for that I can say. Regards.

[Rockmantis]

right. some old people are assholes.

Respect needs to be earned.

[Anonymous]

... Can we just all agree that it's the internet and in the internet there will be people with the maturity of 5 year old brats?

[Richareens]

'Course😂

[Opinion Owner]

THANK YOU.

[Ersacol28]

I respect them if they respect me but if I feel disrespected I’m talking back I don’t care it’s 2017.

[MementoMori_]

No one of any age deserves respect unless they earn it.

[scooogy]

I can't help but agree in this. I hate some elder people's mentality

[Richareens]

Thanks. 😂

[Philyouup]

He is not representative of me, I have to say his reaction was a bit over the top and obliviously and ass who has to bolster his ego with demeaning language towards women and minorities.. How can you go through life so miserable , i don't know.. I rather see or experience the smile of a person then attack them and see their ire.. I hope you dont look at all of old codgers that way.. I think most of us are pretty cool! ( of course I would, Doh lol )

[Philyouup]

sorry, I fat fingered.. "obviously an ass, who"

[Anonymous]

I love the sass and sarcasm, haha.

I only give respect when I receive. It is almost certainly not given to elders automatically. I care for the elderly and most of them treat me horribly.

You come off as being the calm one in this argument, but in reality you got so mad at this old man you dedicated a mytake about him.
