Why do people insist on being such bums?

I mean is it really that hard to shower, shave, and put on some decent threads?

Have some pride man.

I realize these bastages can wear what they want but it contributes to an impolite and slobbish society.

That’s another thing when I was a boy my parents would hit me in the back of the head if I didn't call someone sir or mam no matter what their standing.

People call me dude left and right these days, now if I'm knocking back a few with the lads that's fine. I known those boys all my life but when I'm at work or school show me the same damn respect I show you son.

Some of these people have kids to and they are the worst of all. I never acted out in public because I was scared my parents would murder me rather than face embarassment

Hell in a hand basket

Contrary to popular opinion, having gages in your ears, holes in your nose, and a ratty retero t-shirt does not make you special

It makes you an ass

No man, it totally reflects your character.

Wearing chinos and boating shoes is what makes you an ass.

chinons? What is this 1982?

I wouldn't mind if they looked like that (A style which I find reprehensible and unbecoming) if they at least showed a bit of respect, which nearly none of them done. It's the arrogance and the complete disreagard for politness.

When I worked at McD's, i referred to all my customers as Sir or Mam. My boss got pissed at me for doing it. Still not sure what the reasoning behind it was.

Mate, me too. Then again. Aussies tend to swear a fair bit too. I only realised how much we actually swear when I was overseas with mates.

You said a bad word dude, wash your month out with soap!

Mr Strike, people seeing you like an equal has nothing to do with disrespect in my book; perhaps when you become older you would prefer being called "dude" before Sir... at least I do ;)

There should be no ulterior reason to be respectful, courteous, and polite other than it's the right thing to do. It's not contingent upon perceived social status or upon possible benefits gained by behaving decently. If it is, then one's moral compass needs recalibration.
