What is wrong with People?!? It seems common sense and decency don't exist anymore...?

I am with you on this...\nI see it all the time where I live, and I think people either have their windows closed and the heater or air conditioner on, or a loud stereo on and they simply don't hear the truck coming...\nHowever, I might point out, they should have been looking all the time....

Yes there is a terrible decline in behavior, manners and rudness!  My feeling is that people have become more and more selfish with each generation.   There is a desperate lack of consideration for anyone but yourself.  Things like road rage, talking on your cell phone in the movie theater, cutting in line ahead of others, tell people around you that you think you are more important than anyone else around and just put up with it because you're allowed to be rude.  But god forbid someone should do any of those things to you!  Sorry to use the word you so much.  Not directed at anyone in particular, hahaha.

According to the Yahoo blog, this has happened. Some bad person just reported it & they had to delete it for the time being. They are working on ways to stop it and have apologised to those it has happened to. I think this has become a little more popular than they thought. Anyway, \nstay patient & if you didn't do anything wrong do not let someone else's narrow opinion upset you!

Ettiquette just is not taught anymore.  The parents are not doing their job in raising their children on how to act in public.  Then when they are adults, they don't know how to teach their kids.  It's a vicious cycle.  One that I doubt ends any time soon.  So sad.

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I grew up in the 70's and it was soooo different. It seems as if everybody today is in such a hurry, they disregard the feeling of other people. So many people treat others as if they are an object, simply in the way. It seems as if material things are what is important. Like if you accidentally pull out in front of somebody, their first inclination is to start cursing and flipping you off. they dont stop and think of the times, THEY pulled out in front of somebody. I think the whole friggin world needs to slow down and take a deep breath.

By most reports (including yours) it appears to be getting worse.\n\nHowever,you have the solution. Let's just work together to promote it, OK?\n\nI would like to share a radical idea with you. Let's no longer refer to ourselves as members of the human race. For being human implies that we have imperfection in the eyes of others (you know, "I'm only human, born to make mistakes"). \n\nThe phrase "Human Family" seems like an oxymoron these days with so much division and emphasis on differences.\n\nLet's all get along. And as you sorta said, Love ourselves!\n\nPeace.

id run back in a heartbeat. people these days dont care about anyone but theirselves. the most important part of society is failing fast,the family. forget about how much harder it is to live now. its the morals and mindset of people that's scary.

Some people are unrefined, rude and just plain socially bankrupt.  A cross section of our society as a whole unfortunately.....ignore them.

maybe ppl are just stupid and in todays world ppl are not as nice as they use to be. everyone seems to be more angry. any friend being rude to me is not my friend and therefor i would get rid of them cause i deserve the best. don't you?

What about the people who talk much louder on their cell phones while in the checkout lane. And what about a person on their cell phone when they are at the pharmacy picking up a prescription and the pharmacist is trying to tell them about the medication? And what about the people who sit down in a restaurant and won't give the server the time of day and then get mad because their drink order wasn't taken as soon as they sat down?\n\nI hope and pray that this does not become acceptable. Each and every day I personally encounter rudeness about 80% percent of the time. And when I finally think that the world has come to its end someone will show an act of politeness.

It say its the society. People in developed areas are alot different and dont seem as happy as people in underdeveloped areas in life in general. Rude, cheating, cunning thats the trap of the city life. It will swallow you and spit you out. Hence this is what we end up with today. Eg no family time spent together which results in people cheating and fighting with their parters and family memebers... I can be bothered to talk about it as it is a rather depresing subject. All I know is that Id rather live in the old days where you didnt have these problems as often.

I agree with you.  It actually makes me sad that people think it's cool to be rude, nasty and inconsiderate.  All we can do is keep having good manners ourselves and raise our kids to know the difference and do the right thing.  \nI've noticed that most people don't even seem to know the basic rules of talking to people, I sit and chat with this group of ladies while our kids are in a dance classes.  Everytime two people are talking, someone else interrupts.  Or I'll be talking to someone on the sidewalk, and someone else will just walk up and start talking to whichever one of us they know, they'll walk up and just start their own conversation and totally disregard the fact that two people were already talking.  I would never do that. If I'm walking by and see someone I know engaged in a conversation with someone else I will just wave as I walk by or lightly touch her back, I would never walk up and interrupt the conversatin and disregard the other person.  I could go on about the subject of rudeness for 10 pages, but I better not even get started on the other ways people are rude, like talking on a cell phone while out with friends, being loud in restaurants, and my pet peeve where I live, people who can't clean up after their dogs in our communal areas.

people are rude & cruel and seem to have the mentality of the Gladiators....it is also a way for ignorant people to take the notice off their own ignorance and direct it to others hwo do know what they  are talking about.\n Ever notice how a person who is clueless seems to always call you a fool,just becasue they don't know about something ??

I have witnessed the same thing happen not in a restaurant, but in someone's dining room. Kids aren't taught any manners today because the parents are too busy with their own selfish pursuits. It makes me sick. Think about who will be running this country 30 years from now. Frightening.

It's a selfish thing and I've noticed it too.  This generation, like no other I can remember, thinks always of themselves first, second and maybe third.  The don't flush (guys at least) because they a) can't be bothered; b) don't want to touch anything that might get them dirty; and c) have better things to do then to be polite to society in general. \n\nIt is another decline of the state of civility and respect that some of us have come to enjoy.  Hopefully, in time, they will grow into some sense of responsibility - but I'm not going to hold my breath.

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

unfortunately,nowadays,if it doesn't fall into the "instant gratification" catagory,people forget......\nsociety has no moral stamina.
