What happened to Bon-ton? in Philosophy ·
Mark Torres14;20744230 said:They’re essentially creating their own social etiquette.
"It is quite fascinating how their codes of conduct, their behavior, and the way they measure social standing and hierarchy are incredibly rigid and clearly defined. What might seem like deviant behavior to an outsider is actually just a direct consequence of the stratification within their specific subculture or group."

I want to focus specifically on those BBB hooligans... Look, I’m not a huge football fan—honestly, I'm not much of a sports guy at all—but isn't it just plain idiotic to claim, "I go to the game for the ball, the players, or the social scene," when in reality you're just there to bash the first person you don't like in the head or smash a streetcar?

It’s pretty grim, though they aren't the only ones. When I look at those certain girls—you know, the high school crowd nowadays... honestly, it makes me shudder to think that those are the women who will become our future wives and mothers.

rustymaker5 said:Yeah, yeah... I just stumbled upon some old-school American etiquette rules, and it says right there: "At the dinner table, you shouldn't be cracking crude jokes, and it’s even less wise to try and play comedian with domestic political topics, unless you want to get kicked out of the restaurant."

It seems like even our grandfathers had their issues with things like Bon-ton, and honestly, the topics they were arguing about weren't all that different from what we deal with today... 😁

Personally (though I’m just offering my humble opinion here), I don't think politics has any business being brought up during family meals...😁

I honestly feel like those old-school standards of etiquette and decorum—along with all those other classic traditions—are just evaporating. We’re seeing a whole new generation step up, people who are raising their own kids without ever having been taught those foundational basics themselves. You can tell almost instantly upon meeting someone whether they belong to the "free-spirited and modern" crowd or if they actually come from that more traditional, old-school background.

Does anyone happen to know if there's a user manual or some kind of comprehensive guidebook available somewhere that outlines all the various features and functions we can actually use on this forum?
