do you crimp them wire nuts or how are they fastened?

Simply screwed on.

They're like a pen lid kind of thing, and you twist them onto the ends of the wires you want to join.....

I think the root of the problem is that people in this country don't treat ANYONE with respect. It seems to be considered a sign of weakness.

How true.

They used to say that respect was something to be earned.

Personally, I think there's a better way.

I'm happy to respect you but, you'll need to earn my trust.

I don't lose a thing by being polite, courteous, and helpful to you, even if you throw it back in my face.

And you know why? I know that the next time you need my help, it won't be me missing out - and that's probably worth more to you, than abusing me in the first place was.

Today's kids would get a LOT further with just a few simple attitude adjustments.
