I haven't read through the responses, so not sure if someone has mentioned this or not, but I think you're confusing respectfulness/politeness with respect.
There is a HUGE difference.
Everyone should be afforded politeness and respectfulness (until they show in some way they do not deserve it).
Not everyone is deserving of respect (/admiration).
If you go around showering respect on everyone, then who really is deserving of the respect you give?

It's kind of been discussed but there are different kinds of respect, there's the admiration kind and the basic human kindness kind, I'm mostly talking about the latter.

I think some people mix up respect with courtesy, and do so to justify being assholes to complete strangers.
