Have we evolved into a narcissistic society, as the media have alleged? Do you think the importance of manners and etiquette is less essential? If you live in a country or regional area, is there more of a community spirit and comrade in your district? I really would love to hear your opinions on this issue so please do share your thoughts.

I am in total agreement with most of what is said, and I agree whole heartedly(if this how it is spelt) my son is disabled, and we see this all the time,people are very, very rude on a whole, and I am sorry to say its probably 50-50, as far as younger people and older people are concerned,I also had a father who was disabled (with Polio) , and let me tell you, with all of the hype (eg) disabled parks, disabled games and or other things that go around,people are NO better, in fact worse then they used to be with my Dad, the abuse we get(mainly from older people) when we use disabled parks, especially, where we live, it makes me so ugh ugh ugh.
So my opinion is that a lot of the younger (not all) are a so full of themselves, they can not see anyone else, and a lot of old people(not all again) but a lot , are just so self rightous, and full of sympathy for themselves, and their age, people are on the whole just damn RUDE,(then again,not all).
Our country and heaps of others from all I`v read is heading down a path, that is destroying our way of life,Heavens the Government and opposition is not doing too good either, with their manners, language and rudness (in Parliament debates) what can we expect from these examples.??????
