Should we allow the socialists destroy proper social behaviors?
Published on February 29, 2004 By messybuu In Philosophy

As the liberals seek to bring equality to the world by pulling everybody down to the lowest common denominator of living, one must wonder how much harm they are doing to society. They have already convinced many individuals that proper English is evil, compelling many of our youth to use a form of English far inferior to Spanglish. Some of you might be proud of that, claiming that proper behavior is an evil practice of the bourgeois, but is formality, etiquette, and properness really that bad? Let's see what the world would be like without such anti-socialist behaviors:



Imagine walking into a fancy restaurant. The first thing that you notice is that all the employees are dressed like trailer trash. After all, uniforms have been outlawed as they represent a time in which people were segregated into consumers (upper class) and servers (subservient).


After you are seated and receive your meal, you notice that some drunken individuals are having a farting contest at the table next to you. You dare not ask them to cease their actions, for a closed-minded bigot would demand that others practice modesty in a prestigious restaurant.


You try to eat your meal, but the stench is sickening you, as a mother is changing her child's daiper at the table in front of you. To ask her to take it elsewhere would mean that you hated women, so you plug nose and your ears and hope that you could finish your meal.


By the time you are almost finished, you are on the verge of vomiting. When two hairy men start to have anal sex right in front of you though, your limit breaks. Since only a homophobe would be so crass as to tell them to get a room, you must deal with it, and you do by regurgitating everything you just ate. Although vomiting in everybody's vicinity is disgusting, you dare not go into the restroom, for its environment is far more sinister ever since etiquette was outlawed by the Green Party (the only legal party of the United States of America).


If the socialists continue stripping away at the invisible barriers that maintain order in society, such situations will be common place not only at Denny's, but also at prestigious restaurants. I don't know about you, but this is not a price I wish to pay for forced equality.

If this doesn't happen at Denny's now--why should it happen at your fancy restaurant. Equality and bad manners are not equal. Many poor people are very strict with their children and wear only their best clothes to church on Sunday. The rudest behavior I encountered in a restaurant was from a group of young well off adults who drank too many bottles of champagne. Rudeness has nothing to do with poverty just lack of respect.

Your whole article is what is referred to, by those who dissect arguments, as a "slippery slope". It's instantly negates your argument as far as validity goes, and also...it's stupid.

Liberals are not trying to bring people to the lowest common denominator, only a foolish mind really believes that. Liberals just want people to quit being greedy, act like decent human beings, and maybe help people who are less fortunate than they. Grow up.

Actually, liberals just want to force people to quit being "greedy" (as if greed is a bad thing), and be forced to help people who are less fortunate and more lazy than they.

Unfairman, you demonstate a certain amount of naiviety.

Superbaby, you show even more. If that was the culture we lived in, it would be the norm, and there wouldn't be any 'urge to vomit.' That's psych 101.

Not if it's enforced by a small minority who will bypass legislation and go straight to the courts they've corrupted.

Where are you getting this? Where is Spanglish the prevalent dialect? You're in a fantasy world.


Your entire "vision" of the future is ludicrous to the point of comicality. It's also ironic, since the "trailer trash" types that you fear so badly are usually Bible-thumping conservatives.


the only legal party of the United States of America


The only way you could ever enforce a one-party system would be if you gave the government extensive powers to conduct surveillance on the public while holding trials and tribunals in complete secrecy, and nothing like THAT would ever happen in the US of A.

It's funny how you consciously confuse "Liberal" with "Socialist". Makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the U.S these days. Do you even know what Socialism is? Implicitly, by your own definition, most of the countries in the world are run by Socialist dictators, so I guess we're all acting pretty much as you described...

You seem to be overly concerned about all-things-butt.

Oh man!

I laughed when I read this, because it seemed comical, and I agree that if something like this happened, it would be utterly disgusting. But I myself don't see anything like this happening any time in the future. No one is going to get rid of manners to be equal--if anyone forced some way of behavior on anyone, it would be best if they forced the non-mannered (lol--not polite? how do I say that?) people to get some manners.

And I too wonder about the youth being compelled to use language worse than Spanglish? Hold on hold on, I myself am a youth, and I really feel that I myself and most of my peers do NOT speak in a manner that is "inferior to Spanglish". Sometimes the way people talk is a product of their environment and their parents, but just because someone speaks with a southern drawl or "ghetto" as I assume you're indicating in that statement, it doesn't mean they're unintelligent or that the English language is evil. And in fact, I've met people who talk "ghetto" (Ebonics, whatever you prefer to call it) that are more polite than people who use "fancy language", and a lot of these "ghetto" talkers say ma'am and please and thank you more than anyone else I've ever encountered!

I suppose I just went completely off topic. But really. How realistic of a complaint is this?
