34. Our society currently has an attitude problem created by social media....

and it's a cancer on us all. Comes primarily from no longer looking our fellow humans square in the eye while communicating....

I've noticed for the last several years, the dialog and demeanor of people I deal with (family, friends, businesses) has slowly become more caustic and smart-ass, like a bunch of teenagers competing for dates. I hope people finally tire of social media and we reverse that trend. I've let several people know that behavior simply is not acceptable.

There's no purpose in being abrasive when commenting on our politicians and their statements - it only annoys and serves no end. We should simply state our objections in a rational way and leave it at that. Reading a string of posts on DU should not leave me a nervous wreck, but some have recently.

If we try to be more like old-fashioned ladies and gentlemen, the right-wing trolls will get bored and leave....
