So I took my friend, Trevor, to the mall the other day and upon getting back to my car, he noticed that I unlocked his door first before mine.
"You, my friend, are a member of a dying breed." He says.
"Huh?" I ask.
"You unlocked my door first. I haven't seen anyone but myself do that for people in years."
And it's true. People nowadays seem to have no manners. Our society has become so sickeningly rotten that nobody, not even the senior fucking citizens say "please," "thankyou," or "you're welcome." Honest, I've held the door open for little old ladies who don't even look at me and just walk on through like this was the 1800's and I was black.
"Well, I say, there's a 19-year-old little whipper-snapper. Let's turn our noses up at him because their generation doesn't know how to be courteous to anyone."
Seriously, though. I've been nice all my life. I don't instigate with anyone. I hold the door open for anyone, not just elderly people. I let people go in front of me in the checkout line if they have less items than me. I say 'have a nice day' and mean it, to anyone I encounter in a day for more than 10 seconds. Yet I don't even get a 'thankyou' from someone even if I returned them their keys that they left on the counter at a grocery store.
Oh, I was probably thinking about stealing them anyway, right?
I mean... where were these peoples' parents when they were growing up? I was reminded so much, growing up, to say "please" and "thankyou" that I even now find myself reminding people MY AGE to say it after they complete a transaction with someone for whatever. It's NOT that hard to remember, if you've GOT a conscience and the TINIEST bit of consideration for people around you.
It's gotten to the point that every dumb shit who gets angry at someone else for the STUPIDEST reasons, I wanna give them a shave starting at their carotid artery using a guitar pick coated in isopropyl alcohol. I DON'T WANT THEM IN THE GENE POOL; GET THEM OUT.
I mean... have you ever been on Xbox Live? Or any servers in online gaming? There must be a sign somewhere that I can't read that says "PLAY GAMES ONLINE IF YOUR PARENTS WERE TWO CHIMPANZEE SIBLINGS WITH DOWN SYNDROME."
I finish a game. I'm sitting in the post-game lobby waiting for the next match. All I can hear is a bunch of 13-year-olds screaming:
"YOU FUCKING FAGGOT. GO TAKE A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT PIER. YOU'RE FUCKING GAY. YOU SUCK AT THIS GAME AND YOU SHOULD STOP PLAYING IT. YOUR MOM'S GONNA BE COMING OVER TO MY PLACE TONIGHT TO BLOW ME AS HARD AS YOU BLEW AT THIS GAME."
Etc, etc.
Where are these kids' parents to beat the silly shit out of them? When I got caught swearing or calling names when I was a kid, I got a nice firm slap on my buttcheeks with the coveted Wooden Spoon, or The Belt, and my parents DAMN WELL made sure I knew what I was getting punished for, so I wouldn't do it again.
Now I swear a lot, admittedly, but I don't mean harm by it, and I surely don't have any malice in my tone when I'm talking to people unless they damn well deserve to get flak-cannoned by me. They're just words, right? They were Anglo-Saxon everyday language which were only made derogatory by the snot-nosed nobility.
I say "Good game, everyone," and I get "GO FUCKING DIE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT." I play with my Kia sitting beside me, also playing, and as soon as they find out she's a girl, we hear "Hey, wanna come suck my dick after this game, hunny?" "Where do you live?" "Are you hot?" And the second I say "Uh, that's my girlfriend you're talking to, who it is sitting right beside me," I get "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING FAGGOT, NO SHE'S NOT." "SO WHAT? SHE DOESN'T SUCK YOUR DICK ANYWAY; SHE'S SUCKING MINE."
Honestly, I sometimes wish their dads would walk in the room and beat them with their microphones still on so I could hear it. Being nice to people to get them to be nice in return has stopped working. The only way we can clear this up now is to eradicate the population that is missing the mental capacity to be nice to their fellow man. Too bad that shit'll get you thrown in jail.
I actually get threats over Xbox Live. I get people telling me they're going to come to my house and beat me up, and that they have an IP tracer hooked up to their computers so they can find me.
Yeah. Whatever. Their voices sound like a rat getting stepped on, so I hardly think they possess the rocks to do such a thing. And I'm 6'2", I weigh 195 lbs and I'm NOT fat. I would love to hear the doorbell, open the front door and see these little punks lined up to kick me in the nuts. Hell, I'd even give them each a free shot. Yeah, every little bitch gets a free shot to my balls.
And you know what?
I'd say THANKYOU, kick them back so hard that they'd land on my roof, and then say YOU'RE WELCOME.

As for games, those 12 year old morons usualy don't even know what they are talking about let alone know enough about computers to actualy trace an IP adress. The younger generation just seems to have lost all respect for any kind of authority. They can talk all tough and smart when they're behind a computer, but meet them up close and they're totaly lost. I usualy just challenge them to a one on one match, that usualy crushes there ego pretty hard.

Please don't reload in the middle of the room, its not fun to shoot you with your gun down.
As for the x-box live thing... that can't be helped, hahah. A lot of gamers must just have low maturity levels, though I definitely wouldn't say all, it is sort of a thing focused on mostly younger kids now, and, well... kids suck, we all know that 83
Kidding, of course. x3

As for XBL, wouldn't really know, but I've hear stories and I can imagine how it might be. Anonymity is a strange thing, it causes many to fall victim to lowering themselves to immature and retarded behavior, once they see that being just a voice with no face has no repercussions for their indiscretions. Something will most likely change in the future, I'm guessing, that will stop them dead in their tracks and make them think twice before spouting off like that. But until then all we can do is hope that karma comes around and kicks their scrawny or husky little hides XD

A while ago, I held the door open for some woman in her late 20’s, and she didn’t say a thing. So, I just got fed up, and out loud, said “YOU’RE WELCOME!” She turned around from what I could see in my peripheral vision, but I was already inside.
People need a good wake up call, or a good fucking punch in the throat. The same goes for all those idiotic drivers who are impatient, reckless, and absolutely stupid.
Also, I find that people cannot spell properly anymore. Being online is no excuse for abbreviating every word, or being lazy and not finishing words.
Now, I don't have a lot of faith in the goodness of humanity as a whole or anything, nor do I feel they're inherently evil or anything either, but the majority know how to go through day-to-day life being acceptably pleasant.
I've been working in retail for about five years now, and there's the good ones and the bad ones. Trouble is, 20 people say please and thankyou, then one doesn't, that's the one that sticks in your mind. Pretty much everywhere I go, people always hold the doors open for each other, and there are always thankyous exchanged. At work, about 80% of people are acceptably pleasant, 15% are super nice and make you feel better after talking to them, and people who ignore that you're even a human or are exceptionally rude, really only make up about 5%.
The Xbox thing is just a case of internet tough guys. They're hiding behind the anonymity of the internet, and they're showing off for their friends or trying to make themselves feel better about themselves. Also, those are pretty much all just dumb kids, they'll grow out of the 'being an asshole to be cool' phase.
Overall, just continue being polite yourself, and don't worry about the jackasses who make everyone look bad. It's always the loudest, dumbest, most extreme part of groups that form the overall impression of the whole. Look at people who draw anthros for a simple example. People think they're all obese, dog-fucking, illiterate, antisocial cretins that live in their parents' basement at the age of 35, just because about 1% of them are. But it's that 1% that makes the loudest fuss, and leaves the lasting impression.
People just dwell on the negative over the positive. And that, my friend, is what really sucks.

It's Go-Go, not Cry-Cry
They're next to nothing both in age and in IQ. Most of those little brats are taught or have been introduced to gaming this way. Someone older said to them, or they heard others saying "If you win you have to go around being the thought guy and if you loose you have to swear like hell."
That, and the most pathetic, disgusting thing one can do over TCP/IP is what they said to Kiartia. I mean, if people threat me or say that I suck balls I don't really care. But what on earth did Kiartia ever do to them?? That, and it's also manner that they _severly_ lack.
You know, if they're stupid at least they could shut the hell up.
I think euthanasia would do them good.
And yeah, sadly you are right on that being nice thing.
In the film titled Next a character words this up very neatly: "No good deed goes unpunished."
