According to Oprah, Americans are becoming excessively RUDE. I wouldn't say it's confined to just the US though. So here's something to ponder... http://www.oprah.com/survey/oprahsho...0909_tows_rude |

Also, Oprah is just plain terrible.

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | | I think "rude" is definitely a problem that extends beyond just the US, I work for a company that's pretty international and I see no shortage of rudeness, and hypocrisy is rampant.
I dunno maybe "politeness" has become a casualty of the electronic age. I mean when we were forced to interact with people primarily face to face, manners and politeness made it all that much easier and pleasant. Now though when so many things are done via computers, and cell phones are everywhere we kind of exist in our own insulated electronic world. Why talk to the stranger sitting next to you on the bus when you can pick up your phone and chat with your homies instead?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Greenville, NC USA | | | Although I do think that there are areas of the country where being rude is more common, I think that the bigger picture is that people are more sensitive these days as well. Generations before us were more thick-skinned. They were just tougher. We could use more of that today.

But I also think people were more inclined towards being polite and showing more respect in everyday dealings years ago.
