What I am saying is that it is best not to provoke a situation and respect is a two way thing.
I find it very strange that you take my advice as a slight on your character. It was just an observation and it is totally your choice what you do with it, but if it makes you feel better to try and make me out to be weak for not striking people that is fine. I'm not the one who's having to slap people to make them behave.
I would like to add I have never been slapped by a client or hurt in anyway. I'm quite shocked at what I just read. Worst thing that has happened to me is someone doing a 'look n go' in Dublin a couple of years ago.
Kate your point that if you show respect you will get respect back works almost universaly, but there are many assholes, where it won't work! Being polite and respectful would have done nothing for your friend who was viciously assaulted!
Ride them on the beaches!
