tynamite's avatar This is coming from a person who people say has no manners when talking to people, has a blunt way of saying things, and doesn't ever try to respect people. I believe in being real and not being fictitious. These are the things that I do because I'm true to myself. One reason why I don't respect people is because I don't communicate with them, which can be defeating. I also don't accomodate myself for others.


  • Let your children make their own choices in life of whether to do things, after you warn them not to and the consequences. If you give your child a choice to do something, and they don't, at least you gave them that choice. If you had forced them to do what you want, they will never be given a chance to learn and progress as a person.
  • Stand up for what you believe in in an argument, whilst being tactful and keeping things short and sweet. Tactfulness is respect. The person you're arguing with who doesn't respect your opinion is disrespecful.
  • Use manners when you want something, or after you've received something. The importance of manners has gone so far that checkout assisstants in certain cities get offended if you don't say thank you after they've served you.
  • Be fair and understandable when punishing your kids. Kids know what is right and wrong, and when they should be punished. Any parent that lets their kids off and allows themselves to be manipulated by their kids after doing bad, deserves no respect in their minds.
  • Don't switch up the way you carry yourself the opposite sex. Girls that switch to slag mode or guys that switch to sensitive mode around the opposite sex lose respect from their peers. If you can't come in a place as yourself, don't come at all. In fact don't do that in social situations. (Business situations are not social.)
  • A respectable friend lets them know that they're not being used to advance up the social ladder.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
