people in general have lost there politeness.?

Answer 1

your not kidding! People are 80% or more rude now a days. I still don't understand why people can't just treat others decently.

Answer 2

Yes. Not many people seem to care about being polite. I rarely see anyone giving their seat to an elder person, many who don't know how to use silverware, forgot the meaning of Thank You, Excuse Me, or just being plain pleasant to people, some people thinking that they are owed something because they merely exist.

Thanks for letting me vent. It was impolite to call it out like that, I'm certain, but thank you nonetheless.

Britons see Americans as cruel, arrogant: poll
London: Britons see America as a cruel, vulgar, arrogant society, racially divided, crime-ridden, obsessed with money and led by an incompetent president, according to a newspaper poll published today.

As Americans prepare to celebrate the 230th anniversary of their independence tomorrow, the Briton's opinion about them has touched an all time low.

Only 12 per cent of Britons trust Americans to act wisely on the global stage, 'The Daily Telegraph' poll revealed. This is half the number who had faith in the Vietnam-scarred White House of 1975.

A massive 83 per cent of those questioned said that the United States doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks.

US President George W Bush fared significantly worse, with just one per cent rating him a "great leader" against 77 per cent who deemed him a "pretty poor" or "terrible" leader.

More than two-thirds who offered an opinion said America is essentially an imperial power seeking world domination. And 81 per cent of those who took a view said Bush hypocritically championed democracy as a cover for the pursuit of American self-interests.

US policy in Iraq was similarly derided, with only 24 per cent saying they felt that the US military action there was helping to bring democracy to the country.

A spokesman for the American embassy said that the poll's findings were contradicted by its own surveys. "We question the judgment of anyone who asserts the world would be a better place with Saddam still terrorizing his own nation and threatening people well beyond Iraq's borders.

this is a London news paper article copy and Paste, it tells you how britons feel about americans.these are not my comments.

Unfortunately, there are so many rude and selfish people these days; that when you encounter someone that is capable of politeness or helping you out of the goodness of their heart, you are taken by suprise, like it's so unexpected and no longer considered normal.

I admire people who instead of trying to accumulate status and material possessions to impress others, they instead use their heart and character. Also have you noticed how hard it is to get anyone to really listen to you?

Answer 5

I wouldn't say that. We aren't as formal as we were, and I think we've become worse drivers, but humanity has not forgotten how to be polite, just a few drunk people who say stuff after 4th of july barbecue

Answer 6

I think society has become too busy ...with jobs, kids, everything we have to do just to survive. So many have failed to teach their children today respect and moral values. It is sad that we have taken the low road when it comes to others. I hope I never get that way.

Answer 7

So you speak for people in general.
