I Believe Good Manners Is Not Old Fashioned

FWIW, good grammar isn't old fashioned either ;)
Four years in January and I am still sometimes aghast at what some think are appropriate things to say to strangers. And how badly it's said. 😂

@Mamapolo2016 There is a big lack in education

Good Manners is a sign of respect for other people, something unfortunately lacking today

I agree entirely with you Angie, education is important
I've been thinking about manners. One of the problems we're encountering in society today is the constant contact with people unlike ourselves. Different languages, mores, cultures, customs.

The society I grew up in, while it was governed by men, treated women with courtesy and respect, in public at least. That is fast approaching extinction. Still, though, it is jarring to me when I see or hear women bejng treated with rudeness and spoken to in language laced with obscenities.

But not all cultures have that tradition, and that raises the question of 'what exactly is rude, anyway?'

@Mamapolo2016 That's a really good question. Is it the mores of the majority society, or an amalgamation of all cultures in the society? Or should all groups have their own standards, but respect the standards of others? Damn, now I'm going to have to think lol.
@Bushranger Sorry. If I'd known you were listening I would have typed quieter.

My brother's drill sergeant in the Army, who may have been closely related to Yogi Berra, gave his recruits this bit of wisdom: "There's a time and a place for everything, and this is not one of them!"

Could not agree more! Sadly lacking, not just here but in general, all too often

They are but old fashioned doesn't mean bad or archaic. They are old fashioned in the sense of being classic.
