Were you raised right?? installment #1

So lately I have been faced with increasingly ignorant people...people that I have now catagorized as "those who were not raised right" which has inspired me to blog about the signs to look for when trying to determine whether or not you were raised right (as per my opinion cause to me thats the one that matters...along with all of yours...but thats only cause I was raised right...segway (sp))

There is no specific order to this list:
1) you develop your own opinions based on more than hearsay
2) you understand that your opinion is yours and that others are allowed to have thier own opinion in that very same way
3) when a car stops so that you can walk infront of it to cross the street you don't lolligag (yeah i said lolligag) by them but instead you give the polite thank you wave and give a sort of half effort jog
4) You flush the toilet (and for guys you put the seat down when you're done...unless you live with nothing but dudes)
5) you respect your elders when they respect you (I was always taught when someone talks down to you or shows no respect for you you pay them no attention...regardless of age)
6) when someone lets you into a lane on the road so that you don't miss your turn off you give them the courtesy wave
7) if you let someone into a lane so they don't miss thier turnoff
8) if you give that same person the finger because of a lack of the thank you wave
9) you don't talk overly loud to friends to the point that others around can't help but hear what you say
10) you don't resort to PDA's (public displays of affection)...this means you know what closed doors are for. Holding hands = ok, making out in the library = me throwing my drink at you (cause thats how I roll)...the only exception to this rule is if Jay Gall is publicly making out with a girl cause that dude needs to get a girl anyway possible!!
11) you don't stare...sometimes its hard not to but if you were raised right you know that you can look but too long is quite wrong
12) you have a beard...yeah!!!
13) you have a sense of humour about things...refer to # 12!
14) you can laugh at yourself...example: you are walking down the stairs and fall flat on your face and someone chuckles to themselves and you lay there for a bit, gather up your pride (and your books), get up, dust yourself off and throw on a huge smile along with a laugh cause really what else you gonna do willis
15) your underwear aren't strategically outside of your pants (girls: the T-bar guys: the gangster pants below the ass)
16) you don't shop at randy river or anywhere that carries roccawear, g-unit, those flat brimmed hats with the sticker still on them that are 2 sizes too big, ecco, and any other "gangster" apparel (refer to # 13)
17) you hold the door open for the person behind you...it takes 2 extra seconds!!
18) you say thank you to the person that takes that 2 extra seconds to hold the door open for you
19) you ask "does anybody want the last of this" before you take the last slice of pizza or bit of homemade cream corn...this often tells everyone you want it and they will politely say no but sometimes you have eaten way more than them and they are still hungry so you offer the option as a courtesy!
20) you are able to take what you dish out...if you make fun of someone be able to stomach the words comin back at ya cause you might not like em but you probably deserve em!

I have a whole shwack more of these and I will post them as installment number 2 when I have not posted for a while and am topic less!!

Hope all is well home slices
