I noticed that very few - if any - men reacted to this post, so I wanted to give my two cents'.<br /><br />I have been experiencing the rudeness and selfishness that you describe at my job for close to three years now. I only realized this afternoon that I don't "own" the bad behavior of others, and yet, I've let it get to me.<br /><br />This behavior has been backed up and "institutionalized" by the folks in power at this company. The surprising part of all this is that it is a company largely staffed and directed by women!<br /><br />I'm glad to see that there are a few souls left who believe in civility and respect for others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />BradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-64231120856632959362009-09-15T21:56:18.362-06:002009-09-15T21:56:18.362-06:00Tamara, I do think as well that people who are hur...Tamara, I do think as well that people who are hurting do reach out to purposely hurt others, sad really....but maybe by loving the sinner and not the sin we can overcome these things....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-13934809462512058952009-09-15T21:54:28.144-06:002009-09-15T21:54:28.144-06:00A/C I completely agree, Serena has done so many wo...A/C I completely agree, Serena has done so many wonderful things for her sport, her culture and her country.

Sometimes I think the less attention these public figures receive, the better it would be for EVERYone!<br /><br />Actually it comes as no surprise to me when I consider the way our Heavenly Father has been ignored and pushed out of conversation and instruction. It's everyone for himself or herself now - and maybe always HAS been. Even in the Bible it says, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way...." <br /><br />The line is being drawn dramatically between those who love Jesus and those who have no interest in Him.<br /><br />That's what I think :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-45332206854639901302009-09-15T18:07:01.082-06:002009-09-15T18:07:01.082-06:00You took on a rough subject and modestly dissected...You took on a rough subject and modestly dissected it.

And I am sure some would boo hoo my thoughts. When life was simpler up until somewhere before the 60's and 70's when nuclear families still existed, most of the time both parents were around to teach their children right from wrong. Mom's were around the house more and discipline ( which by the way, means to teach) was not as frowned upon. There were family dinners, and religion was more a way of life than a choice. I guess what I am trying to say is parents actually did there job in so far as teaching morals, respect and manners. Of coarse television and computers weren't used as a constant babysitter either.<br /> Yet still even with all of the changes we have gone through I do believe it all stems from how we were brought up by our parents. And that's probably not the only reasons but it is the one that I always think of.<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-1333471697745432482009-09-15T13:57:26.034-06:002009-09-15T13:57:26.034-06:00It seems like everyone is on the same page with th...It seems like everyone is on the same page with this one today, as half the blogging world as well as the media are responding in some way to the hatred, intolerance, cynicism, rudeness and disrespect that seems to be running rampant in today's society. I think it's always been there, but not so vocal or evident. I guess in the long run all we can do is moniter our own selves, because everyone who needs to be called out on their behavior is too self-involved to pay attention. Good post, Bernadette!
