Ok, well I am not speaking of the experiences I have out in the world with a bunch of general you's. I am speaking from a dating and love perspective and I thought you were also. I thought we all were. I don't have an expectation of how strangers are gonna act when I am out running into them. I am sure there are kids in the 50's that acted like asshats...we all do, the good old day were not absent from this. Personally public rudeness for me is more apparent because there are more people in the world trying to get shit done. I was not born in the 50's and I was raised this way. Our kids weren't born in the 50's and they were raised this way. I just always chalked it up to a population problem and not it being less prevelent because I run into way more polite people than I do rude people.

From the snotty nosed child who bolts past you & runs into you not saying excuse me....to the woman OR man who cuts right in front of you to grab a box of faux mac & cheese & seems completely oblivious to the space that you inhabit.....THAT is what I'm talking about......I was raised to say please & thank you, excuse me, pardon me etc...I was born in the 50's & my friends from then were also taught likewise....I KNOW there are parents & teachers who teach it today also....it just seems to ME it is less prevelant.....that's all.
