Yeah, that's the part I don't get too. Sure, we argue here. But it just stuns me that people would come here to announce their disdain for manners and decorum. If I started a thread, do you suppose they might boast of their poor hygiene too? Maybe they're not very in bed either, and want to tell people.
Should I form a positive impression of someone because they consider manners and decorum to be silly? Most people want to be regarded positively, or so I thought. |
To me, and this is my opinion, practicing good manners is when you open the door for a lady, not farting or burping at the dinner table or in front of people in general, chewing with your mouth closed, and saying please and thank you. Not wearing a hat indoors is more of a tradition or general rule that really has no origin or anything to base it on to make it make sense. Now wearing a hat in a church or place of worship seems like a mistake for some reason. I don’t attend church very often but I wouldn’t wear a hat.
