Your so right in your analogy....My husband and I had an encounter a few years ago when we bought our first house, our yard was quite large, about an acre, and we had built a nice play area for our children and also put our trampoline at ground level (under ground). One day when we came home a few kids were playing in our yard. I had them take me to their home to talk to their parents......the parents response helps sum up a bit of the lack of manners we seem to be encountering........the parents told me it was our fault for having put such a nice play area in for our children and not having a fence...if we wanted kids not to use the equipment she should put up a large fence..........WHAT !!!
So, it was OUR fault.....not that the kids should respect others property and actually ASK before playing there.
During the winter I again came home to a large group of kids and adults sledding in our yard......when I confronted the adults their response.......your going to love this........"we saw all the kids playing here and "thought" it was o.k. ".....Hello.....Manners ? Asking ? I have decided the only manners I can be responsible for are mine and my families.......My husband and I have 7 children and manners and respect are a vital part of our family........too bad that is not true for all of us..........

You are absolutely true mam,
Peoples have no patience, no manners , no etiqates and no command on their tongue.
Internet has given some more set of words to express the rude language like lol, folks, guys, f**k, and many more.
We are going in no direction.
Every thing instant is the mantra of new age life.
instant money, instant pleasure,instant relations etc
Budha has given a thought " Appa Dipo Bhava " means
" Be Your Own Light "
Budha has given the another thought " Majjhim Nikay " means
" When in trouble or indecision choose the middle path "
The time is riped to look at our anciant heritage of knowledge and culture and apply inour daily course so our children will see and learn from us.
It is the universal fact that home is the only school and parents are the only teachers whose teachings and influence embose on the mind of children.
God bless India and God bless America

Because people are far more stressed these days than what they were say 50 years ago. There were no IT jobs etc and people worked to pay their bills and feed their family. These days too many people want more sometimes more than what they can accomplish... All of this makes people aggressive and manners are thrown out of the window.

Some people tend to be intolerant of others. Children are not being taught respect. Children and adults alike don't learn the positive aspects of being polite to others - the good treatment and kindness you tend to get from others as a result. Many people behave in such a way that is not respectable and so it's impossible to treat them with respect. These behaviors are glorified on TV and people copy it without ever seeing a better way.

People are stressed, rushed, and tired. They are getting too little for the time they spend and feeling too pressured. They spend too much time away from their children to teach them proper manners. Manners are not taught in most schools. Young people watch programs and listen to music that encourage disrespect. They watch sports stars, singers, idols and their classmates be disrespectful and copy the behavior.

I totally agree.... I think that many more people now these days are more stressed out within the society than ever before. This is I think where rudeness comes from. Of course let's not forget it's also how parents bring up their children.
If it bothers you just think it is their problem and it's not your fault.
No worries there are still alot of good people out there.

Its called selfishness. Showing good manners is the international human code of showing respect for yourself and for others. Its another way of putting the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated!

Most kids these days are not taught good manners, it will probably just get worse before it hopefully gets better.

It is only one of the plagues in the world today and will continue to get worse along with all the negative things until the return of Jesus.

maybe because they are stressed. but that's not an excuse for good manners. good manners wherever you are, whatever circumstances you are in should always be with you.
