Is our American civility and good manners a thing of the past.?
How concience of your own personal behaviour are you ? Do you think daily of how you behave in public, How often do you "check " your mannerisms?
Hmm ..check my manners? Not often - then again I tend to live as I was raised. Mom is always watching you know - even from 2000 miles away
On the serious side odd as this may sound working in a business that services all kinds of people I have noticed that not all cultures hold the same things as "rude" or "uncivil". They are in the melting pot and the absorbtion of actions and behaviour patterns flows both ways. That being said I think we are melding - How Rude!
My momma taught me to be nice and yours probably did too but apparently some of these moms were asleep at the switch. Selfishness and greed are causing people to toss out their respect for their fellow man. There are many people that I disagree with philosphically but that does not give me the right to attack them in a personal way verbally or in any other manner. If you feel you can only make your point effectively by attacking the other person personally, then your argument does not hold much water. Driving people to withdraw and shutdown is not winning...it's disgusting. We live in an electronic world where people feel they no longer have to depend on or care about their fellow man/woman...we are rapidly becoming a "toss it away" society that obsessed with immediate gratification..."I I can't have it now, I don't want it at all!"

Very much so, I am from the old school, I was taught to show respect to other, and do unto others a i would like them to do unto me... however lately others people like to ring our buttons,
but i do check your manner daily.and I always remind my children to watch the "P and Q" (..Manners maketh man"

If you could go back in time and change one thing about your past, would you?They say that time travel is dangerous, because if you alter the past it can change the future. If you had the ability to travel back in time and change the past, would you do it? If so, what would it be?
