The attitude to the old people.

I don't understand why some people demonstrate the lack of respect to the old folk. May be they don't understand that some day they will  become old also? I'm sure that the level of the culture of the society depends on the attitude to the old people.

Fuck those geezes - they're a drain on the system... The only productive thing they do is give us a reason to pay big Pharma.  When I'm on my way to pick up my first blood thinning medication or adult diapers - I'm going to detour off a cliff.

By default, I hold a door open for people. But if you don't even spare a second of your life to say "Thank you", I'll make a point of slamming it in your face the second time.

To me, not saying "Please" and "Thank you" the first time shows that you're a wreck, and I certainly wont give you any courtesy in return. I wont go out of my way to do it though. XD

My mother brought me up with manners, but there are also people who don't appreciate them.  Like for example the other day while waiting to get on the bus an elderly lady was getting off, I offered my hand in assistance, she damn near bit my head off.  Oh well so the old bat thought it was offensive, piss on her it's not going to change the way I was raised and I will continue to practice good manners and ethics.

Funny how a guy who admits to being brainwashed runs a forum called "Reject the Herd" Rolling on the floor laughing

I freely admit being influenced by my parents, it's their genes that I carry.  So being raised correctly by ones parents is vastly different than being a part of a brainwashed "Herd" manipulated by the powers to be.  Eye-wink

I love and respect my Parents, that my friend is all that matters Cheers Mate!
