Way to go unbeliever - nicely handled. I wish I could say I was so calm when dealing with a selfrighteous overbearing bigot, but alas, after a few nicities didn't work I told em exactly where to get off!!
gdt - gone are the days when title or age commands respect - and I for one certainly wouldn't give respect out of a sense of duty - it has to be earnt. I was brought up that you respect elders, give them your seat on a bus, hold doors open for them etc.. - how many of them EVER say thank you?? They barge past you in the high street, barge you out of the way at counters in shops? Moan constantly about the younger generation - period!! Why the hell should we respect that ??
It seems to me in your response to John "what is the point if you know everything? gdt" that you're still teetering on an elders pedestal!
Bull!
