  deathdude has the social skills of a maladjusted sociopath...
  
  you gotta get out more and interact with people more... and learn basic courtesy..
  
  it is not about hard and fast rules.. it is about interaction, and emotions...

  so, if society evolves into a bunch of bullying asswipes, you'd follow suit?
  
  if this is a reflection of our "youth" these days, we're doomed

  Then I am being very nice to call you little boy, punk , juvenile or deliquent?
  
  No one owes you a living to be nice to you. You do not owe people a living and no one ask you to be nice to them. You don't respect, its really your problem and your family's up bringing. You want to do whatever, its your wish. But as I said, you really do not understand much about respect.

  i dun see it like bullying asswipes, more like youth these days stand up more and express more sometimes maligned as being rude.
  
  just want to see the day that the chinese way of respect is not so common anymore

  Aiyah, ah death.........you still don't get it.
  
  Bear is right. There is no hard and fast rule. Some ladies mind it, some don't. Use your tact. If lacking it, go interact with people and gain some social skills.
  
  You hibernate in your human isolation mode, no wonder you boh peng yu. That's from your own mouth, right? You said you have no friends. That should give you a hint, why. Be nice, diplomatic and tactful. It's different from hypocrisy.
