it seems that it has become socially acceptable to be polite in person and rude when nobody is looking.I dont approve.How about you?

I think we can thank the internet for that. People who don't have the nerve to be rude in person go crazy on the internet.

Being anonymous gives people a false sense of it's okay because nobody knows me.

This morning I was in the Walmart Grocery store. A young woman came at me full speed with her cart. She just glared at me...........but the approx 2yr old in the kiddie seat said, "I'm sorry."

modern technology definately helps people who have a questionable character fall down the moral compass rabbit hole faster!!!!!

I think it is because of the me first attitude that some children are raised with and rude children become rude adults. They also see how adults are definitely not setting a good example.

What I see on this board is many people who - any time anyone has a different opinion than their's they call you mean & rude. It is neither mean nor rude to disagree with someone. It is , however, extremely rude to call someone names for disagreeing with you.
Seems many people don't have a clue about what manners are.

The problem here is not usually the "disagreement".
The problem is usually the way the "disagreement" is expressed. An "opinion" can either be expressed In objective respectful language or by using subjectively tinged language.
Makes all the difference.
ex. "I really disliked ____________'s gown at the Oscar ceremony."
OR
"_____________________" looked stupid and fat at the Oscar Ceremony in her ugly
dress".
Which sentence style expresses a strong opinion without out using subjective language?
