Please and Thank You

Growing up I was taught to say HELLO when you entered a room.  PLEASE and THANK YOU, EXCUSE ME when you belched, burped or expelled gas. MAY I when you asked for things.  You did not interrupt anyone when they were on the telephone, you were taught to hold the door open for others and of course RESPECT YOUR ELDERS and YOURSELF.

What has happened to the core values?  Where is our moral compass?  
We have men and women walking around with their pants at their crotch and their underwear showing...oh, but wait...let me rephrase for those that may read this and not truly feel me.  You are walking around with yo pants hangin' off yo ass and yo drawz (drawers) showing!! Hell even when I'm trying to make a point I still have to write things somewhat proper. What is the significance in the pants at your crotch?  Oh I guess that is your SWAG....Senseless Weak And Gullible!! 

We seem to have a conflict between decent moral behavior and social impotence. I've noticed an influx of rudeness from the millennial generation as well as some of the baby boomers. Too many parents trying to be a friend to their children instead of A Parent. Be a parent first, instill the core values along with discipline.  Teach them to articulate or at least form complete sentences, take them to the library or provide them with a book and actually read it instead of playing video games.  Reading Is Fundamental!! With the core values and good morals comes politeness.  A behavior that seems to be cast by the wayside.  

For the baby boomers, quit acting as though the world owes you everything!! This sense of entitlement you think you have will get you hurt.  Try baby steps to rectify the disconnect..

When someone says 'HELLO' to you, just respond with 'Hello'. No one is requesting you to stop, drop everything and indulge in a Larry King Episode. Just 'Hello'.  Just be polite respect yourself, others and carry on. Please and Thank You!!!!
