• I disagree. Coke and Pepsi don't care about you; neither does the local shelter. They only care about the money you might be able to provide them with.
  
  Going further, whether or not Mormons, Baptists, atheists, etc, feel you is irrelevant, until they come to you and try to convince you to see their point of view. At that point, their feelings turn to disrespect.
  
  I like your last point. Many people seem to walk around looking for reasons to be insulted.

• @ East Hill
  So it is help ?
  
  @ MrJosh
  Entirely agree about commercial campaigns. Not disrespect, just lying. Then again some very basic disrespect in treating human being as demographic unit only, a means to own end.
  Not so sure about the rest.

• @Mr Josh: I agree, they only care about your money, but there is a human being attached to that money, and in every corporation they will always tell you the the most important thing is the customer. "The customer is always right." "Without our customers, we are nothing." The guys at Apple think you're dumb for using a PC, and they think you will be a better, smarter person with a Mac. And they love their customers.
  
  @Jakob: Yes, I believe they are trying to be helpful (assuming that is what you meant by your comment).
  
  For example, I have not the least bit offended if a Jehovah's Witness shows up at my door trying to convince me to leave my religion for theirs. He is sincere in his beliefs. His religion brings him happiness and fulfillment. He wants to share that happiness with others. Where is the harm in that? Now, if we want to dissect it and break it down, yes, of course, by him saying "My way is the right way" he is also telling me "Your way is the wrong way".
  
  So what? He is not forcing me to do anything. He's just some honest guy out there passionately believing he has a good thing. Everyone thinks they're on the right path. So be it.
  
  Should a Republican be offended and hurt if the local Democrat knocks on his door and tries to persuade him to change parties and vote Democrat? Of course not.
