so when the trains so packed people are in front of the doors, you are one of them, you just stand there? whilst someone struggles to squeeze through the millimetre gap between you and the person next to you..?

They were the young guys dressed in "urban wear", not the clean cut guys in business suits.

lol i hear ya..
I was just raised to respect my elders, women, and the unfortunate. It's in my code. lol.. i do it sometimes so naturally and almost as if it's the "right" and -only- thing to do. and half the time, the people(women, elders and unfortunate) don't appreciate it or even say "thank you".

lol wether they say it or not, I always say "you're welcome".

I notice that kind of stuff too. people judge others too fast..

Thats inspiring to read! It shows me progress, and that just maybe, morale in humanity is a renewable resource:D

Personally Im disgusted with not only our government, but the people who criticize it with no effort or positive input. The US has managed to revive slavery with no real opposition. How fucking twisted are the companies that profited $15 BILLION in the 3 month period after one of the most devastating events in our countries history? THEY LIED! And used our fear aginst us, and then some of the people who LIVED through this catastrophy were sent to the closest thing to "hell on earth" (middle east) to be killed! Thanks Uncle Sam! I guess I never realized how much you really care about ME!....and here I am thinking it's all about the benjamins!;)

Shit :stoned:POSTPOST!sorry

What I describe is simple courtesy. I ride the subway, but this is applicable in all areas of life, driving, in a store, on a bus etc.

In general, there are people who are physically able to stand up that sit in a seat, and there's a pregnant woman or an elderly standing up. Conventional wisdom would be to offer you a seat. There are countless times, I seen this happen, and no one offered to give up their seat.

The trains are set-up in a way people tend to congregate by the doors because of the lack of room. It gets very crowded. At stops people want to get out. Conventional wisdom tells us, you should step out the train temporarily and let people out. It's amazing how many people are so selfish, they block people's way.

I'm sure all of us has story to tell of people who are rude, and selfish. So let it rain! Let's show everyone on the net that stoners are civilized, polite and upstanding citizens, that we are leading the cause to be the best human beings we can be.

I understand your concern, but the world just doesn't work that way currently. I would give up a seat out of sheer compassion to someone who needed it, but people should not EXPECT a seat given to them even if they are pregnant or elderly.

Dude, I can't even walk my streets at night because of the fucking crackheads that roam and when you drive, you are taking a risk because of all the god damn stupid drivers. Yesterday, people we're just going through a fucking red light at this one corner! Umm, the light is fucking red. That means stop!!

agreed. you won't catch me fussing for a specific seat because im "old". i have much more respect for myself than that.

i still do it for them though. a seat on a bus is worthless to me.

I'm relatively courteous in public. I have a 'public-eye,' so to speak and very public conscious. When I'm out and about, I tend to be conscious of someone's path, someone nearing a door, etc. I'll either get out their way before it hinders their movement, if I didn't they would probably walk into me lol. Sometimes that act seems a little trivial but when I look around and observe everyone who is too proud to get the hell out of the way or just oblivious, I mind less about being kind. It's in me to be that way. It's how I was raised. Call me a super-hero for being having a public conscious & conscience.

exactly. i agree 100%. and no, you aren't a super-hero.. you were raised right and are not self-centered. unlike most people.

I think the real problem is that you all live in the city, and large ones at that... move away from the city, the farther you go the nicer people get, no lie.
