respecting parents...why don't most here do?

why is it people with strict parents who say how awful they are, and they want to disown them?

nd for real petty stuff like 'my dad is from Pakistan or Nigeria and hates the fact that I go out clubbing and he found a condom in my bedroom.." OK, but then Nigeria/Pakistan are hardly liberal societies, what do people expect?

Sorry, but then my honest belief is that younger people have mental conditions due to poor social skills. Your dad based on HIS socialisation has his own beliefs. And he's not 'getting on you'. And in any relationship, you'll have disputes. If you're bf/gf/hub/wife/sibling/co-worker is 'bad' to you, will you always cry and mope?

just a little rant..but imho posts like that are a bit pathetic.

oh
so i cannot state an opinion? ok..lol..dope.
You can respect your parents and still find their views ridiculous. My mom is one of the most hard working people I know, and she's made a decent life for herself despite never completing school and english being her second langUage. I admire that and I'm proud she's my mom, but that doesn't make the fact that she's racist and homophobic any less bad, and I can still say she's being ridiculous when she "forbids" me from seeing my friend because she's a lesbian.

I don't respect my dad because he's an abusive prick. Respect goes both ways.

ok, so she gave you a home.. but yep, be passive aggressive, and say I cannot comment.
How was I passive aggressive? And when did I say anything about commenting?
She gave me a home but I don't currently live with her. While I did I obeyed her rules. I'm 20 now and she still tries to tell me what to do, but I can now choose to ignore it if I find it ridiculous.
because it's your personality, but i'm not really bothered.
And you've assessed my personality from all of two posts? Thanks Freud. Go suck a dick! Oh wait, I meant pipe.
