anygunanywhere,

In principle I agree with what you are saying.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just didn't feel that it was the time or place. When would it have been the correct time and place? I don't know.

My point in in relaying the story was to show that even in this small event values are starting to break down here. Just as in the posted article, we all this type of behavior everyday, and it isn't just the young. It seems as there is no respect for others anymore.

Personally I try to avoid any confrontation. Since I was packing at the time, I felt it more important to avoid confrontation and not escalate the situation.

Here is an example of the rudeness in society here. Just 2 days ago while getting lunch at Subway, this young man was getting ready to check out when a rather large woman, who was dripping with diamonds and jewels, literally pushed the oung man out of her way and told the clerk that he need to check her out first. The young man, myself, and every other customer was dumbfounded by her actions. The clerk actually didn't say a word and checker her out. When my turn came, I asked why he let her get away with her actions? I was told that he didn't want to cause a problem.

This self-destruction of values is exactly what is happening in England today.

I witnessed young, drunken yobs roaming the streets kicking cars, screaming insults, pushing people and even pushchairs out of their way, attacking each other viciously and then turning on the police when they tried to maintain order.

THE WHOLE scene evoked the image of hordes of inebriated Vikings sacking devastated towns. Even during the day, feral mobs roamed the cities with absolute disregard for anyone else's property or well-being. Traditional virtues of male chivalry and female propriety were very far from view.

Good thing it hasn't gotten that bad over here...

Is it really much different here in America?

I agree with Glenn.
