You have to give respect to get respect....its just that simple sometimes.


I don't know about you, but I ask for bank account statements up front before I decide if I am going to respect someone.

this???

insight

n 1: clear or deep perception of a situation [syn: penetration] 2: a feeling of understanding [syn: perceptiveness, perceptivity] 3: the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation [syn: brainstorm, brainwave] 4: grasping the inner nature of things intuitively [syn: sixth sense]

Yes that is the dictionary definition but comprehension of the word and its useage is quite another matter.

Besides usually when people use that word they say something like, "I thought this would be an insightful conversation" or "I thought this would give me some insight as to what you thought."

Something along those lines

I've come to the realization that I'm fairly classist, or elitist, whatever you wanna call it. It's just that almost all of my friends and the people I meet are upper class, and the school I guy to is definitely an elitist(read:douchebag) school for the most part.
