I wonder whether these are manners that make people people nowadays. What happened to the manners in life, politics, etc.? Manners don't spoil, manners add to your personality, they are not to be obsolete. It's easy to be without manners apparently - one may seem to be easy-going, easy-tongued, easy-behaved and thus easy-easy-mannered. But it doesn't help to make an impression any way. The world teems with the low-educated and the low-mannered who claim to be on the top. The cancer of manners, malignant process, I would call all of it. :) (sorry for such a concocted twist of speech of mine).
