[QUOTE=sasvermont;2113545] Comparing my upbringing to many children's today, the complaining continues by many about the previous generation. Different complaints, but complaints about how lax society seems to be. Will it ever end? Who knows. Times change. I call it "the old person syndrome"..... Now it is our turn to feel the change. I suspect it will happen to each generation, as time passes.

I have hope that being polite comes back in to fashion. Even "please and thank you" would make such differences in exchanges!

Very well said. It appears that an erosion of civility and common courtesy has taken place and, like you, I would love to see their return.
