I pretty much agree. Though I can see where a difference in talking to teens vs adults can come up. See, I'm really shy, and don't like looking at people. But I have a much easier time looking at and talking to people my own age than adults.
Unless I'm high. But that's a different story...marijuana makes me less shy somehow.

I guess it's all about reading the person.
If you, say, open a door for someone, and they don't give a nod, don't make eye contact, and don't break the conversation they're having with someone...then that's plain rude. They need manners.
But if you open the door and the person musters up a smile and nod (...which is sometimes the best I can come up with), it's not lack of manners, but a lack of confidence.

Sorry, I'm rambling a bit.
I just felt I needed to bring up that distinction again...I dunno. Speaking up for the shy people, I suppose.
Wintersweet Reviewed by Wintersweet on . Manners a.k.a Etiquette Not weedsmoking ettiquette. Just social. I've been reading through the forums and it's great to see other stoners that are intelectual and intelligent. It shows that we are not all a bunch of second class citizens like the gov't and anti-pot organizations try to precieve us as. Anyways, coming from a completely Colombian household I was forced with manners and was always told to be polite. And now that I'm starting my adult life, I'm thankful and people always compliment me on mine. And Rating: 5
