Message: <blockquote data-quote="SBSATS" data-source="post: 4061641" data-attributes="member: 53681">I have always been,  to each their own.  Removing your hat indoors was a  tradition honored by most in times past. It was a sign respect, courtesy and gratitude done by most men for the lady, or staff of most homes and public establishments such as restaurants. Other places included town halls, churches, court houses etc. as a courtesy acknowledging the authority of the establishment. As well a rule or law in the military. Over time it has lost its meaning and purpose for many younger generations, and no longer retains its value, need or adherence.   Which is fine in my mind as things and traditions come and go, and in some cases return.. Such as the wearing of ear rings by men has come and gone many times over the centuries.  I  do not want expect, ask nor demand that anyone else does what I do or don't do. But what really irritates me is the baligerent,  demeaning,  disrespectful and totally unnecessary manner in which many of our younger people respond to even the thought that someone might ask or require something that they reject in their self entitled attitudes. However, from my personal experience with many of these younger fokes. I have found that, "they" are generally the ones who demand respect from everyone else,  regardless if its been earned or not. Please bare in mind that I am only speaking about some... but you can certainly tell the difference between those who have earned respect and those who just demand it and are insulted when you call them out on it.</blockquote>
