"It was a discussion on how so many tenets of belief say that we're supposed to honor our parents and respect our elders. The thing is... I respect my mother and Sean a whole damn lot, but no one in my father's family. I don't think that just because you're older you can demand respect without doing enough to earn it first... and no one in my father's side of the family have done anything to earn my respect or make me want to honor them at all."
