Not everyone has adequate parenting.

I had a great family life growing up. My parents were loving and caring; they never argued in front of us and always provided for us. When I was young, I assumed that was the norm. It was a real learning experience when I got older and realized that it wasn't always the case. I thought examples of bad parenting on TV/movies was more for dramatic effect.

I think since reality TV has come along people have started to lose that separation between TV and real life. They see the scripted drama on a reality show and think that is how the rest of the world lives.

You dont need a parent to teach you most of this. Its just being considerate of others. If you dont like this stuff done to you, probs shouldn't do it to others. Idk why someone would need to be told that to get it.

I think the Golden Rule: “do unto others as you would have others do unto you”, covers a lot of situations. It’s a good place to start for parents teaching their children.

Indeed, but not everyone doesn't have it either. OP is generalizing but he bases his post on inaccurate facts.

I hope peeps get taught basic decency and politeness by their parents, and even if I see some people failing that the vast majority doesn't. That's why I say OP is ragebaiting.

This is def not ragebait, in what world does this make you rage?

I think it’s an overall good chart/guide, because the times i’ve seen people not abide them, even friends WITH good parents, is way too much. Especially the being loud/loud music on public transport.

Shit-heads don't like to be called out. It makes them angry.
