Rude is not just a word

I'm pretty sure we were all taught to be polite ever since we were kids. Taught to say please and thank you, or at least know how to ask for something nicely. I don't know who to blame when I see those who are not used to good manners. Or are familiar with the word but cease to understand it. Should it be the parents whom we say are at fault? If they are still kids, yes I think so. But a grown-up? That's just sooooo wrong...

I have heard when some people have power, they automatically find others unworthy of their effort to be nice but had not seen it in real life until now. We are equal creatures of God. What makes some think that they are simply above others? Money? It doesn't buy you manners it seems. Position? In what? Your career? What about your position among your friends? I doubt they find you friendly anymore. Seriously, being a friend and being friendly come hand in hand. Why do you think they call it friendly in the first place?

Yes, I'm bitter. I've had enough with these people ordering and commanding you instead of asking you nicely to help them. What is so wrong with a little please and some of thank yous?
