I was talking about suits earlier in the thread.

Interestingly enough, I only wear a suit on rare occasions. Normally I wear a T-shirt and jeans.

Though I do like my suit because people accord it a certain form of respect, and consider the wearing of a suit to be a sign of said respect; for many stupid reasons.

I serve the whims of my present employers. And, as a result, I am a servant.

But you seem to simultaneously believe that you can treat them with a lesser respect; all that is due to mere servants? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

I think you are.

The respect accorded to a servant is not lesser than any other form of respect, it is simply the respect accorded to a servant. In the same vein I accord a certain form of respect to my boss, but not the same form of respect to my father, my mother, or my peers.

I was talking about suits earlier in the thread.
Exibit A = dogma , someone who thinks they are better than someone who works in service. FOAD

Did he say that? I don't think he said that, and I like to think that my reading comprehension skills are quite good. What it looked like he was actually saying was that there are different types of respect, afforded to different people.

And based on how they're conducting themselves in this thread, and based on the fact that I believe you have stated that you worked in service, it would appear that Dogma is better than someone who works in service, as he hasn't been rude enough to tell someone to "Feth Off And Die" (FOAD) due to misconstruing their argument.
But then again I don't work in service, so my opinion won't be valid, will it?


(And before you ask, yes, I do on occasion wear a suit. Because they look cool, and they make lectures more amusing.)

On the plus side, this thread has really put proof into the truism - "when you're on a date; watch how your date treats the waitstaff, because that is how they will treat you in a few years".

Its more apt than some people may realise sadly.
