Does it really take much to say thank you, to hold a door open so that it does not slam in someone's face, to generally be polite as you go through life?

I do not remember people being this ignorant and rude when I was growing up, have we changed so much!

Yes! I totally agree and I just read this on another board, "They're missing the Golden Rule gene". Love it. Applies to way too many people here.
