I should have worded that a little differently.
I wouldn't say all the younger generation is like this but, as a whole, common courtesy has been dropping as generations pass. I guess you could blame it on the generation prior since they were the ones who taught them how to be individuals.
I'm 43 and I fall in this generation, I have been told by numerous friends that I'm an old man because of the way I think but I just try and treat people as I want to be treaded.
