And this is the attitude that has led to people 'believeing' they have the right to be a horses ass in public.
Anyone else on here remember a time (as a child) when if you publicly ****ed up you'd get swatted by the nearest responsible adult then doubled down on when you got home? I don't recall too many kids dying from that, do you? Well, now the generations of 'No Spanking' kids are middle-aged (like me) and have the same level of respect for others who don't share their viewpoint.
If you don't want to acknowledge the anthem or similar, don't be around it when it starts, go to the bathroom or stay home.
Since public administering of discipline became 'wrong' when the hippies took over we've seen a decline in polite behavior. I'm sure someone will have a contrary opinion, let's hear it.
