If there was an attempt to lynch the kid, I would be vehemently opposed to that.

Absent a lynching attempt, I don't think I'd pay any attention.

I'm not sure how to assess "disrespectful" in this case. I don't think I'd call that behavior disrespectful. How would it be?

Well, the smoking gun has apparently been found.

Phillips is a provocateur and a poser

What I mean by this is, I really don't give a lot of thought to the issue of "kids showing respect to their elders". It's not something that I've ever worried about.

So I can't picture how I would assess respectfulness (or lack thereof) in your hypothetical scenario.

Whatever I would think about the event, "respect" and "disrespect" would be the last things that I would be thinking of.

. It's obvious to most people with a 'brain.'

Screaming "get off my lawn" and demanding that kids "show proper respect to their elders" is not related to intelligence.

That's very funny! You just proved my point. I like this answer on answers.yahoo.com: Intelligence in its simplest form is the ability to distinguish between things, so if you can see a broader spectrum of human emotions, then you can tell the difference between the feelings of others. When it comes to rational intelligence, you are also able to put the pieces together in order to form a strategy, or plan, to deal with challenges that come your way. We should all be rational, the emotional faculty is just another extention to the rational intelligence. We all have our personal emotions, but emotional intelligence allows us to understand the emotions of others before we get the wrong idea about them, which causes conflicts of personality.

Go ahead and scream "get off my lawn" at kids if you like.

I don't care whether young people show "proper respect" to their elders (whatever that even means). I have better things to worry about.

Phillips also described coming back to the U.S. as a veteran from Vietnam. "People called me a baby killer and a hippie girl spit on me."

"I have a relative here who said he'd lead the way and scout ahead for us," Phillips continued, his voice breaking. "You know, I'm from Vietnam times. I'm what they call a recon ranger. That was my role. So I thank you for taking that point position for me."

He spent much of his enlistment in California, did not deploy and left the service as a private after disciplinary issues. From October 1972 to February 1973, he was classified as an antitank missileman, a kind of infantryman, Carlock said. He then became a refrigerator technician for the majority of his service.

And you're a poopie head CI!

That you need to ask that question proves your ignorance about social norms.
