Things that annoy me (4 Viewers)

OMG that was scary viewing, I'm surprised they can tie their own shoe-laces let alone find a bathroom!

The future of America; in short, we're screwed.

Watching a documentary on the JFK assassination and realizing everyone in the film footage no matter how young or old or rich or poor dressed respectfully. Often in a suit and tie. What a contrast to today. Most people that I see out and about are wildly obese, wearing sweats, and generally not giving a frig how they look. A complete loss of self respect.

A bit nippy there mate.

Yep, I don't miss that place at all.

Yes, many things have changed, such as basic curtsey, hold a door open and you're likely to be scowled at and all the other little manners, that made for a more cohesive society.

Sense of humour seems to have disappeared too in some people and though the rot had started way before, I think what happened during Covid, with people pretty much missing out on day to day social interaction, has changed a lot of people in many ways.

There has definitely been a loss of self-respect and the concept of shame. The JFK assassination, Vietnam, and Watergate were all events that eroded the American ideal. We are on a new level now with social media, cell phones, and video games. People are dumbing down and becoming increasingly isolated.

I often feel like a stranger in my own country. Western society seems hell bent on destroying itself and re-writing history. I don't get it......

Not too long ago, my wife and I were on a park shuttle bus in Zion Nat'l Park (simply magnificent) when two younger women got up from their seats offered them to us (we're in our 70's). I was embarrassed and tried to refuse but they insisted. It was nice to see a polite gesture, at the same time making me feel very old.

Glad to hear you had a good experience, yep, things like that make you realise you're not the 25 year you once were !
