1. EVERY action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.

RESPECT others.

Was that before or after the little ninny exhibited a total lack of respect for himself & others?

Or are you talking about the REAL George Washington...as in, the "father of our country"? I guess I'm typing too early. I'm NOT a morning person!

If you're referring to the poser, he needs to grow up & learn that respect doesn't come automatically...it's something that is earned. Harassing & insulting people that you don't know, for no other reason but to harass & insult is very childish & shows no respect for anyone...including oneself.

In other words: My 3 year old is more respectful (& intelligent) than G.W., the village idiot. I hope the little fungus grows bored soon. He's starting to show some signs of dementia.

thank you moon for demonstrating for all of us, FINALLY, the true meaning of respect. I think it's wonderful, if it hadn't been for this outstanding example of respectfulness and deference to other's belief's however, different, we would all remain, shallow, and completely unaware of the true meaning.

Moon...the real George, Father of our Country.

#17 BE no flatterer; neither play with any that delights not in being played with.

DON'T flatter people, and don't tease people who don't like to be teased.

hmmm.

Thanks Dame! That's what I thought. Like I said, I'm not a morning person & thought I missed a reference (like the poorly dubbed Jap-animation).

Sarcasm gets you nowhere, mango.

#22 SHOW not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy.

BE a good sport, even with people you don't like.

#69 IF two contend together, take not the part of either unconstrained; and be not obstinate in your own opinion; in things indifferent be of the major side.

DON'T take sides; don't stubbornly cling to your opinion just because it is yours; when you don't care either way, go with the majority.
