what did they do for society to treat them that way?

They are evil.\n\n"Quack" is "Kcauq" backwards, which sounds like "Caulk," which is a white substance you use to make things waterproof...waterproof like a duck's feathers!  Coincidence...I think not.

I agree! I think they actually had a pretty miserable life,if they were living in the conditions you just described!

Through war and such. They were imperialistic, took over other civilizations and people joined gladly sometimes because they would offer citizenship if they were good people, and gave them chances for government.

NOT MATTER WHAT TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT!

There's an old science fiction book called "This Perfect Day" written by Ira Levin, that has such a society.  They no longer had individual differences, wants, desires, etc.  The people sacrificed their individual selves to the rule of a computer and drugs that made them submissive in order to maintain the Utopian society.  \n\nI think that if we today had such a society, we would have to surrender our individuality.

I absolutely agree on that one 100%..anyone who disagrees doesn't get out often.\nAnd that "treat those as you wish to be treated" is bullshit.\nI say "treat those the way they APPEAR to want to be treated!"

Hmmm...I think it's because they want people to treat them like adults,but they still don't know what to do exactly when they have a problem. So they think they're too mature to get help from an adult,but they can't fix the problem by themselves,so they just run away from the problem

They may lead a sheltered life whereby they are kept around only one race or religion etc. They may also be taught that others that are not like them are bad in some way.

Wait, that was a rule?! Ha ha, j/k with that one. \nYa know, a lot of people I know value that rule, and you know what, the people who do treat people like $#17 must also have the rule in mind, if you know what I mean. That's just opening the door to be treated like how they want to be treated. \n\nMoral here : Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if they really hate you when the do things unto you, then do something equally bad or worse unto them. \n\nAnd if they say, "Hey, what the f***'s your problem?"\nJust smile and reply "Just treating you how you want to be treated, jxkffld." where jxkffld is your word of choice. My preference is beotch. ^_^\n\nAnd a final note: This isn't an invitation to go killing someone or anything like that because they are acting rude. I hate violence really, so keep it clean. You can make them really annoyed, make a new enemy, but keep it clean. ^_^

Because in a society that that teaches people to view themselves as number one, dignity and esteem among ones fellows is no longer considered a priority, once there was a time when people were ashamed to take charity and receive money for free, but that time is no more, as more and more people feel like they already deserve everything.

It used to be neighborhoods had people that were home all day. Kids had a bit more freedom because no matter where you were someones mom probably saw you. \nPeople now are much more concerned about what they own and how they will get it, we think we have more needs and are always trying to keep up with the standard we see in the media. We are a society of image rather than relationships. We preach tolerance and we judge appearances.\nWe move too fast and seem to think treating each other in insulting ways in comedic. \nPeople demand respect but seldom give it. We judge fast and forgive slowly.

Yes it does, just look around.  Society expects certain actions and attitudes from all of us.  Our society demands certain behavor in all of us.  The price of not conforming to some of these expectations is just too high for most folks.

Evildoesrs gain attention and respect.  That is all they want.  They are blind to the pain and misery they cause.  That is why we people who are on the side of good must never let down our guard, and must be ruthless with transgressors.\nA lesson learned the hard way is a lesson that stays with you for the rest of your life.

In some societies, yes, they do that...for a variety of odd reasons.  It's gross!

Interesting you should ask that.There was a study not too long ago that determined that if a person 'had orders' from a person perceived as a higher up, they would inflict a substantial amount of pain on another human being.It's also human nature to want to remove those that are perceived as different.Culling the herd, as it were.Modern technology just enables us to 'cull the herd' more efficiently.I think that one way towards regaining some semblance of sanity is to educate a person as thoroughly as possible, and teach them that what works for 1 person might not work for another, but they are entitled to a basic level of respect by virtue of being a human.
