Respect is *earned*, not just given because a person holds a certain
position or just happens to be injured... The fact that someone just
so happens to be an ATP, cop, pilot, or even the President does not
automatically make him deserving of respect...

No, he deserves respect for being a human being.

I can think of thousands if not millions of human beings that deserve no
respect.

You may as well. So far I'm still not in any of the groups of people you
disrespect, but if you provide a more complete list I feel I may yet get
lucky....

The north... Of course, one person that I know down in southern
Florida says that anyone from north of I-10 is a Yankee...

I can think of no one who deserves no respect. They may also deserve
justice. They may not deserve mercy. But everyone deserves respect.

Who are you to decide who deserves respect and who does not? No one
appointed you the final arbiter of respect.

We treat each other respectfully because that is the essence of
civilization. Refusal to respect one another leads to corruption,
crime, and conflict. Lack of respect means an end to the sanctity of
human life and property. There is a time to take human life, but one
should respect even one's enemies. Failure to do that will make you the
slave of your appetites, passions, and enemies.

I don't think anyone deserves respect other that children under the age
of accountability. Beyond that you either earn respect or you don't.
Justice and mercy are different in my opinion. Everyone deserves
justice and most deserve mercy.
