I'm polite because it is what I expect from others. How can I expect it, if I don't practice it? (again, we are talking about real life here, not shit on the boards.)

Believe it or not. I'm A all the way. I too am uber polite. I will hold the door for people, always say god bless you, and I don't even ask if I can smoke during the meal, I wait till everyone's finished. Hell, I won't even smoke at a resteraunt if there's little kids around most of the time. I too hate most people, but the reason I do these little things is because I'd love to get the same treatment in return. These are all easy things to do, and they really require such little effort.

Kid, do get mad when people aren't polite back? In my building, I usually hold the door for people, until I noticed no one was saying thank you anymore, so I remembered those people and have started pulling the door shut behind me when I see them approaching.

So you feel an obligation towards others?
I just wanna see the difference between "courtesy" and "acting courtieous"

1 B. Move to the right to allow him/her to pass.
2 A. Hold the door and allow them to exit before you enter (But it depends on who or what it is)
3 B. Light up. (I'm in the smoking section for a reason)
4 A. Punch it and give it everything your car has got?
5 B. Mind your business.

My common courtesy can beat up your common courtesy.

Are the people in question black or white?

Shouldn't I?
- Keyser Soze - 08-12-2002
just be yourself
- Kid Afrika - 08-12-2002
How do I do that?
I always thought it was funny when people questioned how black I am. To answer:
I'm black enough to be discriminated against, but white enough to get a corporate job.
If my blackness is not sufficient for someone, that's their problem.
- Keyser Soze - 08-12-2002
exactly

Afrika is like a piece of undercooked chick, not raw but not quite done either.

I'm polite because I feel guilty if I'm not. I could give a shit about the people I am polite too.

I'm polite because it's the way I was raised. And since I do it for me, sometimes when I have a bad day & feel the need to dick someone over.... it's still for me.
