That still doesn't define it.
It's simply saying, respect is being nice to people.
Not only that but its damn condescending.

"It's simply saying, respect is being nice to people.

I'm simply asking, what does that even mean? I'm not looking for a definition, I'm looking for you to think about how it is to say "be nice" or "be respectful" and expect a person to know what to do.

What is respect?
Respect is the label humans give to what is basically one human being societies definition of "nice" to another human being. The human performing the "nice" actions would be considered to be respecting the other human. You seem to have a lot of trouble with understanding language don't you?

I can guarantee that you and I don't have the same definition to respect.
Define it for us instead of whining - this is a forum of deep discussion, you would be naive to think that we all have the same definitions for things like respect.
So what is your definition for respect?

No. It is each person's subjective interpretation of what nice is.

I have no definition for it personally. I'm not sure what knowledge is.

What is respect?
Respect is the label humans give to what is basically one human being societies definition of "nice" to another human being.
I think "respect" is a phenomenon that has been witnessed to occur in species other than humans (i.e. not only humans show/give/acknowledge respect).

Uhh..I don't think he implied this. I think he was saying that he gained knowledge from experiences he's had. That's not the same thing as saying experience is knowledge.

You did, I agree, but does that mean that others do?
I have not been able to answer that question to my satisfaction. In other words I don't know.
I do know I was raised in a very dysfunctional, anxiety producing, sexually repressive, fundamentalist Christian home and was taught that homosexuality was an abomination which I believed when young.
