Unusual November evening in QC, nice weather, 18 degrees C ... and perfect pressure!

Harvey,
It is not complicated to determine who is and who is not a teenager... LOL

Well, LW, I for one, live in a place where you would have your food spit in, and a wedgie pulled on you (or worse) for expressing yourself the way you do here. I am certain if we were in Pakistan, and you ran your mouth like you do here, you would be without a head. In Iran you would be hanged by now, I am certain, or sent to the embassy, if you expressed yourself the way you do on the computer. We have mutual YouTube acquaintances who have agreed with me, about your clownish sense of respect, and noticed your total lack of respect, as expressed in your lack of manners. So, take it or leave it. I am certain you will leave it, like a peevish teen.

Andrzej, I am beginning to think LW is a teenager.

By LW...
True respect is about freedom, manners are not about freedom, you have to show manners, otherwise you're out. For no essential reason.

Right! That`s what we are talking about!

Andrzej, the part about patriotism...from the looks of your channel, I'd say you have a bigger sense of that than I do. And, lord, LW is full of pride, for someone who supposedly moved to New Zealand (integrity in tact).

Why should I believe you Harvey, you of all know the least of other cultures.

To show respect is only 1 or 2 dimensional, while the essence of respect is at least 4 dimensional, as a matter of speech.
Manners are only to show respect, it is an act only, it is something closely related to worship, which again fails the multiple dimensions of true respect.

True respect is about freedom, manners are not about freedom, you have to show manners, otherwise you're out. For no essential reason.

Believe me when I tell you, LW, your concept of respect does not translate into other cultures. It certainly doesn't come through in your writing. I will be tasteful and hope someone who likes you (maybe Maria) takes the time to explain it to you. And, you will find mostly differences when making comparisons between the two of us.

6/ Due to their great ethnic and religious diversity, Americans have developed a more acute sense of political correctness, in an attempt to attenuate frictions between the various groups. Europeans still associate very much with their place of birth with their ethnicity, language and culture. In fact, until recently, adjectives for language, ethnic group and nationality would often match (with notable exceptions, like Belgium and Switzerland). In the US (almost) everybody has the same nationality and language, and it is ethnicities and religions that differentiate people first, hence the greater importance for respect toward other ethnicities and religions in the USA.
In Europe the emphasis of respect is put on cultures and languages.
