Well as far as I know...respecting and disagreeing are two totally different things which are independent of each other. I believe respect doesnt mean I have to agree with everyone else on everything. People can respect and have disagreements at the same time or have neither of two. Freedom of expression comes into play here. I dont live in a socitey of "conformity" therefore I speak my mind. If you disagree with my ideas you are also free to do so (just like I do) and you are very welcome to put your own ideas forward. I might sound rude for some people but I have absolutely no problem telling axactly as I see it. I have absolutely no problem being BRUTALLY frank (and honest).
