Dog packs often display better manners, but if that's who they want to be, it's still a semi-free country.

How ill-informed.

Drop it a few times in a job interview and see how big a deal it is. It is not used in normal conversation

Job interviews deserve more grammies than actors deserve. Yes.... I love saying your right... your awesome... go team, that pays me to be lesser to the comsumer... yay... I'm worthless attitude... I don't care what company you do buisness with, as soon as you leave they are making fun of your stupid face. It's a fact. No matter how nice they are to you.

Thursday night. That means it's time to wrangle up the hos and line up the blow before I join my student comrades in a fun game of steal-the-cheeseburgers.

You need lots of work on your reading and comprehension skills. I can almost guarantee they taught your butt to take your lid off when you went in doors, to salute your officers and you didn't cuss up a storm around the general's wife, now did you?

For the record, I'm not at any natty guard post, I'm not even military, just a military parent, so again, you have no idea what you're talking about, but don't let that slow you down.

I have been around enough military to know that they understand what decorum is about, but I guess you're the exception.

Please don't speak for me. Decorum and swearing have nothing to do with each other.

Do you know the definition of the word "HOOAH?" Ever heard a soldier use it as a pejorative? Worst curse word there is--when meant that way, most motivational word in history--when that is the intent.

a person with decorum considers what he is going to say and who is in earshot of it before actually saying it, and tries to be considerate of others.

Things I did not post:


  • Military people never cuss.
  • Military people cuss less than truck drivers.
  • Military people never cuss at the army/navy game.
  • Decorum means that you never cuss.
  • There is never a time for cussing.
  • I was in the military.
  • I served at a "natty" guard post while in the military.
  • I know more about military life than the folks that were in the military.
  • People in the Army never say "hooah".

I know the difference is subtle and hard to discern. :crazy:

Reading your responses put me in mind of the 3 stooges trying to fix a plumbing problem.

This was the part of your post that made me laugh.

There's been disrespectful young people since people started reproducing.

It's not all of a sudden a problem.

I agree, but the trend in my opinion is moving in the direction of less focus on respect and self-discipline in children, because Americans in general seem to value those qualities less than they did when I was a teenager.

I suppose my opinion might be tinted by some degree of nostalgia for the way things were. :whistling:

It does seem that way.

When I'm older, I'll probably be saying the same things you are now. :)

Quite a sweeping generalization. How much of America have you observed to form such an "opinion"? What you see on TV, or the vast amalgam of cultures in Beechgrove, TN?

That's right, I never travel farther than my front porch. I never meet people, I don't communicate with anybody outside of Beechgrove. Never been to a Vols football game, a college campus, a bar, a mall, certainly have never been to another country or communicated with people outside of good ol' Beechgrove, TN.

You got me pegged. :crazy:

I don't answer for my generation, I only have to answer for myself. My son's career and his success in life testifies to some degree of success in my parenting, but that's personal data so... :shaking2:

I have posted my opinions. I have clearly stated they were my opinions. You don't like them, too bad. :tease2:

Well, the fact your arguing indicates you have a problem with the other point of view... so :good!:! I'm not questioning your parenting... I'm questioning your stance on everyone elses' parenting. Which is exactly what you are doing by discussing decorum :birgits_giggle:!

Don't talk for your generation if you don't want to take claim for what is the result of it as a whole :eek:k:!
