Title changed...Lotta butt hurt over the title of this thread.
I've noticed that in younger generation, don't care who is around kids, women etc they just let it roll. Driving school bus and seeing how some act, kindergarten kids using f bombs etc then u pull up to where they live and have a conversation with the parents and see the apple didn't fall far from the tree, sad situations.Younger folks, especially of a particular demographic, don’t have respect for others. My wife and I were in a restaurant when a young couple sat near us and every other word they said seemed to f this and mf that. We were about done anyway so we left.
I’d have left it just like it was. Let em stew about it.Title changed...
The entire world is gone. Can't even take your kids to a restaurant without them hearing words I never heard till I joined the Marines and people don't think a thing about it... and the waiters and waitresses aren't much better.How many others on here have such manners ingrained into their DNA that are probably common in most rural areas of the country?
For example, driving along a rural road and you automatically lift your hand off the steering wheel to signal "Hi" when meeting another vehicle. Automatic for both drivers, even if you are hundreds of miles from home. Because it might happen to be someone you know.
Greetings to even strangers in public and holding the door for them if you both get there around the same time. Extra wait with the door if a lady, handicapped person, or even a store vendor pushing a hand truck is approaching. Etc.
Yep, I agree. The worst experience I ever had with that topic was one trip to a Braves Game at Turner Field. Before they bulldozed the old stadium to build the parking area. My BIL lived in the ATL area (still does), we were all going together, and he suggested coming to their house and taking MARTA from the east to near the stadium, then the shuttle buses to the stadium. No problem getting there, but the bus ride late that night back to MARTA there were two obviously intoxicated guys on a bus full of families. They seemed to be intentionally talking as loud as possible with every vulgarity known to man about nothing important. Intending to offend everyone else on the bus. Lots of subtle comments directed to them after everyone got off the bus. I don't think anyone was armed and it was lucky for them, because they were definitely outnumbered.The entire world is gone. Can't even take your kids to a restaurant without them hearing words I never heard till I joined the Marines and people don't think a thing about it... and the waiters and waitresses aren't much better.
That is as good a quick explanation as I’ve ever heard.
I also believe we have stepped further away from demonstrating to our kids the importance of having their own relationship with God.
The behaviors that parents model is what is passed along.
That is the meat of the whole post!Thank you.

Whew boy. I’ve had my butt whipped many a time for slamming a door and sometimes it wasn’t even on purpose. You didn’t let a door slam in our house. Those screen door springs added 1/2 inch to the hide on my rear end.No cussing or slamming doors in our house growing up. Our boys was raised to not cuss in front of lady's and don't dare go through their pocketbooks. First and foremost, treat not only your elders, but everyone with respect.
Glad I'm not the only one. I still cringe when I hear a door slam.Whew boy. I’ve had my butt whipped many a time for slamming a door and sometimes it wasn’t even on purpose. You didn’t let a door slam in our house. Those screen door springs added 1/2 inch to the hide on my rear end.
They do,can’t give you a good reason but they do. You can tell pretty quick, give a woman in a public business a thank you ma’am and she’ll either return your pleasantry or clam up like she was in pain.My office is in Atlanta. You would be surprised at the weird looks I get when I say “sir” or “ma’am”. It almost like some folks get offended by it.
Hmmm.....basically zero "God stuff" in three generations or so, but my family is respectful & well mannered.Respect is a lost concept by many these days.
Seldom earned yet often demanded.
The erosion of values is proportional to the decline of family structure and absence of discipline in the household.

I heard a man once say, 'What one generation tolerates, the next will openly embrace'Thank you.
