    Learn to spell. Learn the difference between "their", "there", and "they're".

    My son used to complain that I was nicer to friends than to him. I pointed out that I am NOT his friend; my job description is "parent". If you watch TV, especially the commercials, everyone is portrayed as a failure unless they are friends with their children. That's because under the communist/socialist principles that this propaganda is pushing, the State is the child's parent. I would suggest that if you don't agree with that, then you should strive to be a damn parent and stop listening to the commiecrat's narrative.
    I agree with both points. I’m not shy in admitting my grammar is terrible.

    If this thread ruffles feathers and challenges folks to think, awesome.

    Help save America. Some things you can do are:

    -Put the damn phone down when you drive and looking at the road and operating your vehicle correctly.

    -Stop tailgating people and passing folks just so you can get to an exit that’s only 200 yards away. In a hurry? Get your ass up at a reasonable time.

    -Don’t lie. Not to your friends, your boss, co workers, just be a man even if you put your balls on the line.

    -Clean up after yourself. Nature and our public roads are not your trash can. Even if it’s on your property get your lazy ass up and go pick some trash up.

    -Hold the door open for women and the elderly. Even if their unpleasant.

    -Don’t be in such a hurry you speed in areas unsafe to do so.

    -hold your kids accountable. Ride their ass. You ain’t their friend.

    Just some things I wish people would work on to save America. What would your list be?
    If you are driving slower than the rest of the traffic, stay out of the left lane so I don't have to pass you.

    If you are a person who advocates no talking on cell phones while driving, then never carry a passenger in your car. Talking to a passenger in your car is more distracting than a cell phone conversation, as 99% of people take their eyes off the road to look at the person to whom they are talking.

    All true.

    Unfortunately many drivers speed and also camp. Very frustrating I know. This goes back to my point with getting up at a reasonable time. Often traffic is a shit show. So just drive with the flow and enjoy the ride.

    I used to have a friend that would drive and turn to look at me as he talked to me. I’d have to tell him to look at the road. He was on the slow side and from Oregon so they probably should have revoked his license just because.

    I refuse to be on my phone while driving; it scares me the number of people that look at their phone more than the road. My brother does it and I always ask him if he's ready to make his wife a widow and kids fatherless.

    I think it's interesting the way most people view the world. I am a believer that you should treat people how you want to be treated even if the person is already treating you wrong. People who are mean spirited are usually that way not because of you but because of something they are dealing with internally. Reminds me of an old food truck driver at my old job, he had some facial deformities' and was down right rude to everyone. I was always nice to him, over time he was nice back. I found out he had served in Vietnam and that's how he got his scars on his face.

    I was brought up to be different for sure and really can't stand kids nowadays.....

    As I have learned it all starts with yourself. I’m not very approachable sometimes. I don’t really like most people. Most are egocentric. Despite how I feel, self control, manners and compassion can go a long way with people. The coworker with facial deformities for example. Yeah maybe he was an asshole all his life but more than likely he witnessed the ugly nature of this world and was physically changed from it. A guy like that I don’t take anything as offensive. He’s abused by life. Sometimes life challenges us to be kind when others are dickheads.

    Yeah, he was super nice, just greatly misunderstood because of the way people treated him.

    I try and be as kind as I can too strangers, it's the people I know that usually get the colder side of me. I don't like manipulators and liars, which is a lot of my in-laws sadly.... I've been told I can be unapproachable at times but that comes from a protective shell I have built, especially at my old job. Unfortunately, guys especially didn't know when to back off....
