Beautiful, Bert.<br />
<br />
Children are such sweet mold-able little things. If they are guided and taught, they will use manners.<br />
Thanks for sharing this.

I work with children everyday and you would be suprized of the few that thank you for something. Some of them will just walk up to me and say " tie my shoe", I stop DEAD in my track and say EXCUSE ME can you ask me to tie your shoe using your manners, you have them and they want so bad to be used.Then they will say will you tie my shoe please with that I say sure I will and give a big smile.After that they will remember to use the words thank you.

That don't make no doggone sense! I even say thank you when I'm getting off the bus--for the driver's services.<br />
<br />
The world is messed up. People have to determine on the inside that they will use good manners and do it.<br />
And teach their children too! Too many Bay-Bays runnin around.

It's not only in Chicago that common courtesy is not being used. IT'S EVERWHERE !!!!!!!!!!<br />
I to have noticed the words thank you and excuse me is not being used very much these days. One day I was on the bus, the driver saw people trying to cross the street to get the bus, so he waited. When they got on you would think the first thing they would say is thank you.....did you say it ? They didn't either......I just shook my head.

You are absolutely correct too. You have to be determined not to be molded by the prevailing loveless<br />
standards less you be swept away by them. It was funny when I went home. I noticed the thankless attitudes<br />
even more. It was stone twilight zone to see this man clearly see a courtesy extended to himself and his family and not say "thank you". What lesson is he teaching those babies that were in tow? I…

I applauded the man that was holding the door---he went off! But the killer is how the rude man responded, talkin some ying yang about "Do you know where your blessings come from..?? " It was soooo ridiculous! The same energy expended to say THAT could have been expended to simply ...say....merci beaucoup (thank you very much).<br />
<br />
You aptly cited 1Timothy 3:1-5...the fierceness can be observed everywhere--especially on the roads. It's scary and exciting all at the same time--because it points to the rest of the Bible's fulfillments--namely, a brand new Heavenly Administration over the earth where <b>peace</b> and <b>love</b> will prevail. Tell me I can't wait! LOL!!!<br />

I know Z*...but there are still some of us left, thank goodness. We were raised with manners. You would get slapped in the mouth if you forgot to show common courtesy. Both of my parents not only taught us by word, but they demonstrated by action. Our children 'study' us intently, too.<br />

Look at that "Balloon Boy" fiasco! What lesson was that storm chaser man teaching his boys?? But I digress.<br />

it even goes deeper than that Edie ... strangers I can dismiss, but have you also observed that in relationships and with family members or with friends...a thank you is rarely spoken...and to tact on "please" on the end of a request as in "can you pass the butter....please?" is an unspoken word. The next time you take your significant other to dinner, notice if they say thank you.

<b>2 Timothy 3:1-5</b><br />
<br />
We are living during a time in history where unfortunately many have lost their connection to humanity. Our ability to live an independent life style has taken the place of community and social patterns of behavior that have been the legacy of our existence on the planet. Our since of connectedness to one another and our compassion for each other is little more than secondary and passing thought (if that).

<br />
We are living during a time in history where unfortunately many have lost their connection to humanity. Our ability to live an independent life style has taken the place of community and social patterns of behavior that have been the legacy of our existence on the planet. Our since of connectedness to one another and our compassion for each other is little more than secondary and passing thought (if that). What we are witnessing is anti-social consciousness among peoples everywhere. This is fueled by conviences, entertainment, governments, many religious groups, and communications media sources. This sickening weakness in human behavior is perhaps more prevalent in western culture (particularly in the U.S.). Unfortunately, those most affected usually become calloused first. Attitudes of kindness, compassion and generosity instead of being worthy virtues become just another reason to be divisive (as in health care reform).<br />
<br />
I believe the answer is in a song (edie you can relate to this LOL). Steveland Morris wrote these words in one of his most celebrated "albums"...Which, without irony reflects the philosophies and teachings of all major religions including christian faiths. Here are the partial lyrics that contain the answer to the problem...<center><b>"Love's In Need Of Love Today"</b>
<br />
Good morn or evening friends<br />
Here's your friendly announcer<br />
I have serious news to pass on to every-body<br />
What I'm about to say<br />
Could mean the world's disaster<br />
Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain<br/>
<br />
It's that<br />
Love's in need of love today<br />
Don't delay<br />
Send yours in right away<br />
Hate's goin' round<br />
Breaking many hearts<br />
Stop it please<br />
Before it's gone too far<br/>
<br />
The force of evil plans<br />
To make you its possession<br />
And it will if we let it<br />
Destroy ev-er-y-body<br />
We all must take<br />
Precautionary measures<br />
If love and please you treasure<br />
Then you'll hear me when I say<br />
<br />
Oh that<br />
Love's in need of love today...Chorus...<br/>
<br />
You know that hate's<br />
Hate's goin' round<br />
Breaking-hate's tried to break my heart many times<br />
Don't-you've got to stop it please<br />
Before its gone too far<br/>
<br />
Love's in need of love love today...Chorus...<br/>
<br />
Hate's hate's<br />
hate's goin' round<br />
Bring it down a little love is very peaceful<br />
So bring it down a little<br/>
<br />
Well, please stop it<br />
Um L-O-V-E love Oh, L-O-V-E lo---------ve<br />
love's in need<br />
of love today<br />
don't delay<br />
right away<br />
<b>Just give the world LOVE</b><br/>

I guess it's just up to us to continue to give the world love without expecting knowing that we may never recieve that loving-kindness back. Our motive for showing love and respect should be the sharing of love itself, even in the face of apathy and outright opposition..."Love Never Fails"...even if we see no outward signs in people around us our collective displays of love have an affect on the spirit of the world.<br />
