Well I would say yes to Mario....if I was not happily married.

As to the respect thing..I was brought up with the old saying "respect your elders". As in don't answer them back etc...then I grew up and realised respect not only has to be earned but it is also a two,way street.

I'd say yes to Mario any day!

Yes respect has to be earned and is a two way street I agree entirely.

I agree with you, respect does require to be earned and is a 2 way thing.

I have a policy of respecting all people, older or younger than myself.
However,being only 21 myself, I have often heard far more sense from those in their teens or even younger than that already over the course of my life than I have from many far older.
So I will give respect to all I meet and come to know until they show little or none to me then I don't feel they warrant it.

As to Mario,I think he is a good housemate, far better than I thought he would be and I don't see where he was disrespecting Bruce really.
Also though,Bruce is so volatile there are times there is little to respect as to him and his behaviour really anyway.
