Oh, my! Accyexplorer - you really have got a down on the younger generation (hope this isn't based on one or two examples or experiences). I do agree that manners and courtesy are sadly lacking in some of them (who's to blame?) - but I have also come across some very rude people of all ages including the older ones, sometimes especially the older ones.

Unfortunately (and I think this is sad) the 'bad eggs' in our society (whatever age) are the ones who people notice, the good ones (young and old) just quietly, respectfully and courteously go about their business. There are some super kids around doing great things as well as those who don't show respect for other people or their property. Please don't lump them all in your assessment of 'the younger generation'.

You mention all the things that kids today get - so who's fault is that! Just saying....

I come across people who have a pre-conceived bad attitude to younger people - and am not surprised when they get the same back from them.
