Haven't you noticed more and more lately that manners are becoming a thing of the past? Why is that?

odd... but in today's society this practice is becoming more common.

it is happening more then it use to. I think it is lack of morals and standards one lives their life by! I did not have sex before marriage but, then I respect my morals and standards and most of all myself!

there are still alot of orders that use the old habits...possible thought is that gave it to them...but in reality...probably threw them out...

Yes, there are rude people everywhere. Unfortunately it's impossible to legislate manners. It sometimes helps to "accidently" step in front of them or gently "bump" into them and say "Oh, excuse me!". Your politness will be a gentle reminder that they aren't being very polite.

It's a cultural shift to the age of information. People become jaded about life and love when they are bombarded with internet porn, unattainable bodies, soft drink ads, and winning free ipods. The ideals of our grandparent generation are gone. I don't think that there is all bad to come of this shift, i believe that we are more aware and informed then ever. We have way more options then the you have to marry girl down the street or the person you parent picked out for economic reasons.

Great point ,I totally agree. \nWhy can we just discuss without insult.\nOviously we are different in ideas and thinking, but we certainly need to control our manners when expressing our view.

I agree but it's nothing new. It has been going on since the beginning. I think there is still integrity in politics, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. I think there is more balance than we realize you just have to look really hard to see it.\n\nLook at how wild the media/mtv has gotten and yet people seem to be getting more uptight and judgemental and there are way more rules (laws) against things than I remember as a kid.

it's beginning to look that way to me. it's too bad that a lot of people were not around during that era, and the many that were don't remember it.

sure it is called courtesy and most people lack it these days! especially on the bus! I know what you mean; like I wana hear some girl or guy fighting with their gilfriend or boyfriend over the phone or especially swearing when their are kids present! You should be the cellphone ettiquette spokesperson! I will join your team too!

because some times girls take it the wrong way, like we want to liqour you up and take advantage of you.\n\nOr some girls blow us off or try to take advantage of it with more\n\nI depends on how the girl acts i think.\n\n"Because in general, guys don't have manners anymore!!! Their parents don't teach them any better."  -Sassy Old Broad\n\nNot true, im 22 and my parents have tought me manners, like i said girls try to take advantage of it.\n\nDave chappelle put it best, Chivalry is dead and women killed it.

I agree with the concept of too much freedom. Heaven forbid you try to talk to a teen about manners.  All you'll get is a loud F off, and if your really lucky, a beating by them and 20 or so of the closest peers.  And as for children, yes I do agree that there is a severe lack of parental supervision as compared to the good old days when one parent worked and one stayed home.  Although both my parents worked and I always say please/thank-you, etc.  I have even had comments from people where I work (my second job is a cashier) that I am always so polite and it is nice to see. It all boils down again to lack of respect for anyone but ourselves.  We are taught that we are the most important person in the world and that no one has the right to say anything to you that you don't like, be it teacher, parent, pastor (if anyone goes to church anymore), principle, or even the elderly neighbour down the block.

Old fashioned values are great and I would love to see them continue on.  But, there is such a fine line anymore.  Some women seem to want to get away from those values some and take charge more.  I think that is great too.  I think it all boils down to getting to go out with the person that you like.
