People seem to become more self-centred and selfish with every passing generation.
Perhaps it is unfair to generalise, but it is obvious that people are less caring.

A lot of popular culture over the last couple of decades has promoted a 'me first / me only / f*** you' mentality.

World wars have tended to reset things in the past, but heaven forbid. That is a little drastic eh.

Maybe thoughtfulness will become the done thing again, who knows.

I try to do the right thing by others when I am out and about, and I try not to let people acting selfishly bother me too much.
But it is hard sometimes.. On the few occasions where I've felt that there really was a need to step in and say/do something/point something out, I've been met with slack-jawed incredulity at best, and on a couple of occasions, aggressive responses.
It wont stop me if I feel the need again, though I think it is a lost cause.
