I think I know what you’re saying. The abridged translation: people are rude because someone else was rude to them?

Is that close to what you meant? LOL

On that note though….think about it: I’m sure she has, at one time, been held up in a line by a rude person who didn’t care…and maybe that’s why she does it…because she knows it’s gonna happen, and people wont “care.” I think things would be a lot better if people could learn from their actions instead of feeling tainted because it’s happened to them before.
Like…I wouldn’t ram into anybody at walmart for no apparant reason…because I know how pissed I was when that one dude did it. If I wanted to be like the majority of the world, I would ram into people just because It’s happened to me once and I got over it..
Does that make any sense?

Yeah she probably was irritated…and you’re right, she probably didn’t think back on the fact that she did it earlier. Kinda like the dude that almost ran me over in walmart… I’m sure he got mad at the next person who did the same thing to him. I really think it’s a Springfield thing…people [from] here are rude! lol

The thing is, I’ll bet you $50 that woman who had no problem holding the rest of us up probably got held up by someone else later in the day… and it irritated her.

I wonder if she thought back to the fact that she’d done the same thing?

I thought the video was hilarious my self! I think the woman was just trying to calm him down by laughing…in other words, she wouldnt be laughing had he been in serious trouble…and I also think she couldn’t hold it in. You couldn’t hold YOUR laughing in, could you? lol

Once again, I think it’s all lack of morale. People really don’t care about the things around them because they only care about themselves. The woman in the store didn’t care that she was holding up the line…but that’s only because SHE wasn’t being held up by anything. Nobody puts themselves in other’s positions anymore, and that’s a sad thing. A good thing, though, is that it eventually comes and bites them in the A$$ later on.

Yeah… you’re probably right.

I think most people live in a world that doesn’t extend much past their own personal space. You end up with a bunch of little individual, personal nations walking around… doing their own thing… without regard for any other nation.

And, generally speaking, which system usually works together as a whole: one unified nation… or a bunch of individual nations with their own self-intrests at the core of their behaviors?

First of all, that video is terrible and hilarious!

Everyone is and can be selfish, but I think a lot of people just have no clue about basic manners and decorum in public. They are so wrapped up in an egocentric existence that others around them aren’t acknowledged, much less considered when the kids are screaming and the cell phone is ringing. I always have a desire to grab those people by the collar and ask them if their Momma failed to teach them manners or if they just forgot them.

I’m afraid its probably a mix of both.
