Are good manners now vintage?
Regardless of your age, you're being awfully presumptuous. Furthermore, for you to even associate respect with age in this specific context is entirely inappropriate. As for myself, I respect all equally, in spite of age. Personally, I've been looked down upon by others for being too young or...- Professor

Are good manners now vintage?
Spoken well. As for myself, I may be too young to remember many things personally, but I grew up in a time-warp, and friends say I'm "thirty going on eighty." There are certain aspects of the past worth remembering, which is why most of us are on here in the first place. Would I want to live...- Professor

You're kidding, right? Every generation talks about the "good ol' days" just like every generation thinks newer music is "the devil!" Recollections are always better than reality.- Professor

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The White Ribbon Saw "The White Ribbon" in Pasadena on Saturday...an excellent film, but not with a happy ending, or even an ending that necessarily makes sense. In fact, it was only afterward, discussing it with my friend, that I managed to put it together. It's a film I didn't much care for...- Professor

Are good manners now vintage?
The "Vintage" Pedigree of Manners I'd be hesitant to use "vintage" as an adjective for manners, seeing as how some of the rudest people I've met are within the "vintage crowd". Seems to me the scene has a tendency to attract anti-social personalities. At the same time though, some of the...- Professor

Are good manners now vintage?
Valid Points from Both Sides Yes, there have always been and always will be rude people, much like other evils of this world. It does seem though as the world's population increases, a greater percentage lives in closer proximity, and new generations develop increasing self-centeredness as...- Professor

Leopold Anthony Stokowski, one of the true conducting luminaries of the twentieth century, was born in London in 1882. His father was Polish, his mother Irish, but he was raised as an Englishman. His famous, vaguely foreign, accent somehow appeared later in his life. The young Stokowski was a... -

A cool train trip into the past
I love the old varnish! Wooden cars are exceptional and rare, having been displaced by heavyweight steel cars (for good reason, of course! Wood construction does terrible things during a collision). Was this a Soo Line car?- Professor
