(4,477 posts)Obviously the preppy types treat law enforcement more "respectfully", just like they treat their secretaries and butlers "respectfully"... because they know they're not a threat... they're the servants.
Meanwhile, the rest of us... they're not our servants, their job is to keep us out of the event horizon of those preppy types.
Respectful fo judges? More of the same.
Younger males? There are young preppy-types too. They just don't have to worry that their "disrespectful" behavior will be "misinterpreted" as disrespectful, rather than just youthful exuberance... as opposed to how it is taken by judges/cops, and you, when it is a not-preppy young male.
What you are typing is not a "truth", it is a "perception" by you... which I find extremely illuminating. I can only hope more readers find it similarly illuminating.
