[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that in general we’ve come to accept boorish behavior, but in some places more than others.  We also live in a society that at some point decided that everyone has to accept individual bad behavior, like it’s some
protected free expression.  If I caught a guy crapping in my yard and yelled at him someone would definitely blame me for not leaving my door open for him to use.  I’ve seen people get roasted on listserves because they had the nerve to call out dangerous drivers with a picture and a plate.  You aren’t “allowed” to correct bad behavior.

Of course, places like MOCO work overtime at enabling this by doing things like passing laws that prevent you from pulling people over for bad or expired tags, safety lights out, throwing trash out the window, etc. No one cares of you are smoking weed while you driving. No one does anything about noise or fireworks or loitering. If you live in a society that goes one of its way to accept bad behavior, expect more of it.[/quote]
+1. I was just thinking of that today - we need to bring back shame. As a society, we need to be able to shame those members of society who display this boorish behavior.

On one of the hot days last week, I went to Rockville City pool.

The amount of weed I smelled was mind boggling. Also mind boggling? The number of dirty diapers that were being changed out in the open and on tables.

Before, I was always happy to live in mixed communities but after seeing the behavior among the lower classes getting worse and worse, I’m appreciating the Bethesda/Potomac people who are staying in that area and not venturing out of it too much.[/quote]
