Parents.
They abuse you, demand absolute obedience for no logical reason, are complete assholes, always think they know everything about you, are horrifically incompetent half the time, attempt to indoctrinate you on their beliefs, brainwash you horribly, blame you for every fucking thing that happens regardless of whether or not its actually your fault, have this mind-fuckingly-annoying superiority complex, demand you do things for no other reason that they feel like it, and shut down any arguments because they can't handle the mind-blowing fact that their children might be and probably are vastly smarter than them.
And these parasites have the sheer fucking audacity to demand my respect from them?
No. I fucking refuse to have my humanity and rights abused in this manner.

Unfortunately, not all parents are like this, and I think Chagen probably has a basis in his frusteration. I have a close friend who's dad is physically and mentally abusive to him, and who's mom loves him but is too afraid to do anything. Not everyone has good parents.
Still, one shouldn't make blanket statements, because Chagen? Sometimes parents do do things right, and earn respect.
The parents you describe seem to be doing a poor job of parenting. I do not believe that most people would say that a parent who abuses you, brainwashes you horribly, or always demands absolute obedience is a good parent. I do not think those traits are in any way representative of parents at large nor do I think that when people say to respect your parents they mean that such things are good.
Additionally, the government actually has a responsibility these days to ensure that children are not being mistreated in the home. If I remember correctly, there is a county-by-county system in many states specifically designed to check to make sure that children are not being abused and if they are, the government is supposed to either influence the parents to change or the children are supposed to be moved to different homes/families.
"I'm talking about parents in general."
"So now my dad's said he gonna "beat the devil out of me".
He seriously just said we might get kicked out of our apartment from the screams of pain I'm going to make.
Now do you see why this man disturbs me?"
I lol'd
If parents in general were like that (and somehow weren't before they became parents) then I wouldn't want to be one.
Eventually I learned that they knew how much of a piece of shit the guys I was bringing home were and wanted to keep me away from them because they would leave you when you needed them the most, which is something I learned the hard way when I ended up on the road to being a possible single foreveralone parent after some very BAD decisions at a party I snuck away to. They eventually helped me out in the situation and helped me cancel this possible problem in my life. I probably wouldn't have the money to do it myself, and I am grateful. Never once did they disclaim me, or show hatred to me, or get frustrated with me because I was being such a unjustified bitch to them.
I raged at them for years because they wouldn't let me do what I want, and I even thought about telling child services that my dad was sexually abusing me so I could get him ripped out of my life, just so I could never have to listen to him explain to me why I was wrong and why I am not allowed to do things, and not "because I said so."
They payed to get me out of the Juvie hall everytime I go sent there and gave me an asschewing, and I hated them for it everytime, never realizing that it wasn't even coming out of my college fund or anything, it was coming from their own personal money. I ignored all of the presents they got me on Christmas, on my birthday, on Easter, because I was too busy wishing they were dead for forbidding me from going to trashy partyhouses and bringing weird girls over to the house to do drugs with.
Eventually my dad succumbed to cancer and started to get really sick, and none of this overbitch attitude really clicked with me until I realized I spent around 3/4ths of my life with him being a whiny cunt, and now it was too late to spend any real time with him because he was going to die in two weeks. I just sat by him next to that bed and realized that the only thing I could do was say sorry for treating him like shit and wishing things were different. He didn't really know I was there, or where anything was. Eventually a couple days after he left, he died, and my mother lost all of the life she had and became hollow, losing all of the spirit and glee that she had.
I wish I treated my parents better.
My parents aren't the greatest people of the world, but I'd never trade want to them for anybody else. My father is a bit strange and not too sociable (something, I inherited) but he does the best he can. My mother... Well, she was hardly a paragon of parenthood. She was an alcoholic, who had pretty much no ambitions at all and is pretty much responsible for her own death (not alone though, I or my brother should have acted sooner...). But she loved me and my brother dearly and she always made that clear and supported me.
"I do really feel that you should try and speak with your mother, try and build up a better relationship with her."
Yeah. The best you can do is try to make up.
