There are some good ones out there. One of my jobs right now is in customer service, and just when I think I want to get my tubes tied because of all the loud, rude, tantrum-throwing brats, some little cutie pops up who holds the door open for the person after them, says 'thank you', and obeys his/her attentive parent. I do agree that it mostly depends on the parent (until they get closer to the teen years), and if they're little kids the blame lies mostly with mom and dad.
