Well there are nut jobs out there for sure. Educate can be lost at times and I have a low tolerance for disrespect for sure.

Just, I agree. Rudeness seems to me to be hitting epidemic proportions. There is hardly anywhere you can go where the Rude don't show up. What really bothers me is when kids are rude with their parents right there, and the parents don't say a word. There's an old saying that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, maybe it applies here.

I see right through people who are rude just to get a leg up in the game. I use to think it was annoying and it may have worked on me once, but not again.

Quite frankly I think it's showing a level of insecurity on their part.

I agree - what happened to the hand shake at the end and just playing for the sake of having fun.

Molly you are right! In UK the government seems to be telling parents what to do in every aspect of their parenting. I strongly disapprove because in a way it seems to suggest that people can not be effective parents without experts to guide them. This is absolute nonsense, parents need to face up to their responsibilities, give the child love as well as clear and consistent guidelines and teach them to respect others. If they start as they mean to go on we wouldn't have as many out of control teens and rude, selfish adults. Instead of suffocating everyone with the 'nanny state' the government should focus their attention on the people who clearly need help with parenting.
