Each generation is right though. As the years pass, people become less and less polite. That's just the way of things. We're always going to have the same complaints; that doesn't mean nothing is changing, it means it just keeps getting worse. Not to be a pessimist or anything, it's just the cold reality.
Makes you wonder how unfathomably polite people were in the days of Plato, one of the earliest recorded "Darn kids these days," lamenters. Considering this trend has been in existence for possibly 3,000 years or more, we aught not pine for the (comparative) barbarism of 75 years ago, when about 2,500 years ago, they were logically exponentially more polite. To do so is like a homeless man pining for minimum wage - better, but hardly a life of silver spoons and caviar. 3,000 years of increasing rudeness has yet to come to a halt, and won't any time soon.
