Is this an angrier world....

Stupid me- This is the topper. Being mean and angry is the new cool.

Being polite and helpful is -the weak Dork.

Shameful.

I tell you it is easy to be an ass. But it takes courage to be good!

944 Larry, respectfully, bar room/water cooler banter as I refer to it on the internet is the last place to feel safe or feel invincible. Unlike the water cooler or bar room, on the internet it is there for ALL to see and ALL to retrieve at a later point in time. Those 20th century folks who hid behind the bar or water cooler were dildos in comparison as it only went as far as the bar or water cooler. With e-mail, texting, and internet, if you say something, you can pretty much assume that it's there for a long, long time. Plenty of time to mine, filter, check, cross-check, and identify, and well use it against you, like putting a foot sideways up one's bung-hole.

That's why my M.O. is never say something you wouldn't say to the public or someone's face. Note: that pretty much means I have no future as a politician due to my say it like it is attitude.

I see your point here. I guess the net hasn't been around long enough for some of this stuff to come back and get you 25 years later. Basically I was thinking of the old knock-down drag-outs you used to see. I haven't seen a fist fight or a really good lively argument in public in years. I'm not counting the net or TrueTV here! Your MO seems like a sound policy to me.

I am not sure if the world is angrier or if its just the fact that personal responsibility has become nonexistent for some groups in this country and the world as a whole.

Calvin: "We need to have an attitude! Everyone has an attitude these days!"

Hobbes (smiling cheerily): "We could be courteously deferential."

Calvin looks at Hobbes with disapproval...

I'd say that the world is quicker to anger (read: impatient) for sure.

This also goes in the douche parking thread..

I stopped by a buddy's shop today and saw this..





After my typical jokes about "maybe some girl got pissed off that the owner for hitting on her boyfriend, ect, one of the other guys there says that the owner took two parking spaces, and there was no spaces left when a guy tried to pull in, the camera on another recorded a guy walking up to this pink one, picking up someone off the ground and walking around, kicking & scratching it. Every panel has some sort of damage, and don't let the Pinkness fool you, this thing has a big honking turbo and is very fast (if you are going to have a Pink car, it better be fast)..
