"Manners, politeness, etIquette......... Are they intrinsic values that you have and expect? Are they a thing of the past? Are they just a temporary means to an end (do people start off with these qualities and then show their true colours if things don't go their way). Or is it simply now socially acceptable to be rude? " Know this should be interesting getting the Popcorn and getting ready for the Fireworks | |||

" It would be a wonderful life if everyone used the above mentioned skills, but I suppose it depends who has got out of bed on the wrong side or depends on who has a lot going on in their life and are stressed. I for one will admit that I'm no saint and am often referred to as Victor Meldrew when I've got the arse on lol A simple hello, a smile and someone saying thank you can make a world of difference and make for a better day Now fuck off and do one I'm busy!! | |||

"i too was brought up with manners and to respect my elders. i have also brought my own child like this, it makes me proud when he has been to a friends for tea and the parents tell me how polite my little man is (he is 5). it shocks me how some of his friends dont even know how to say please! my little man has been known to shame his friends into being polite " Thats lovely to read Liz. I think its considered hip and cool to knock down people who care enough to teach their children manners, by some people. I find with children of that age they react to what they see and if your household is a polite one they will pick up. I know that only to well when my son came home as a seven year old and called his sisters wankers, heard in his friends house | |||

"Respect and manners are certainly not as plentiful as they once were xx " they are not.. you know I am always surprised when people make such a big deal of how well mannered my kids are.. as to me its just how it should be.. But I dont think it is acceptable to be rude... I certainly mention it if someone is rude to me. Cali | |||

Here in the online world there's more rudeness, which is probably down to the fact that people are hidden behind anonymous profiles (a topical main stream news subject: trolling)." Completely agree - face to face manners appear to be used on quite a regular basis, however, remove the personal side and make a stuation faceless and the probability of manners takes a deep downturn... I'd also apply this to driving, somehow being in a metal box makes 90% of people just plain rude. There's no excuse for bad manners...ever! | |||

It is strange and maybe a little sad how some people who normally show all the skills of good social behavior become rude the moment the interaction is faceless or remote. I guess for some people good manners is intrinsic or second nature, for others it's an effort. When anything requires effort you'll always get those that can't be bothered making that effort, especially when interacting with people they are unlikely to meet. | |||
