Politeness! Does anyone remember what that means?

Answer 1

No, I forgot......can you remind me? For example, let's say I have some delicious cookies and you want one. Would it be polite for me to say, "No! They're all mine!" or, should I say, "Sorry, but I sneezed on them" ????????

Answer 2

You cant ask people that and expect them to answer honestly. Most people think they are polite, however not all of them are. Its all in the way you look at things and how you are emotionally. Jill may think tom is polite, but Cassie thinks Tom is a jerk.

Answer 3

1. showing good manners toward others, as in behavior, speech, etc.; courteous; civil: a polite reply.
2. refined or cultured: polite society.
3. of a refined or elegant kind: polite learning.

Had to look it up, but when I did it all came back to me :)

Answer 5

Not many people. apparently. When I'm out in the real world, as opposed to Y!A P&S, I'm a "yes, ma'am" "no, sir" person. I'm a GRITS (girl raised in the south) and we were taught manners.

Answer 6

Eh, I'd rather have honesty.

I've been dealing with too many polite politicians lately who are actually evil backstabbers.

Screw that.

Answer 7

I most certainly do. I am polite all the time. Thank you for your question.

Answer 9

Yeah but it's a dead word anymore I blame it on people like paris hilton who have no moral values

Answer 10
