ORIGINAL: pahunkboy I am afraid I agree with the law on this one. Locally we have alot of incidents at the Walmart- most of which dont appear in the paper. Peoples manners, in public have become boorish. When I am shopping or in public- I dont care to hear profanity or any number of obnoxious outbursts. As a culture we are going backwards in manners. Only months ago a Walmart worker trampled to death. When I start seeing polite people in public again, then I will agree that her outburst was warranted. But for now I see rude people with no regard for others. Sorry. Oh come on now PA!!! I am all for good manners, I dispair the loss of them and have been known to chastize people for bad manners, even complete strangers. BUT.....bad manners is not a legal issue. If so, who is going to determine what is good and bad manners? Are you going to have a vote? Are you going to elect a "City Manners Manager"? Are you willing to pay their salary? The additional costs in enforcing these new laws? So, when you come out of the grocery store, someone bumps into you causing you to drop your groceries, breaking your eggs and sending your oranges rolling, you utter a "fucking hell" under your breath and the woman with the 3 yo behind you calls 911 and you are arrested......it's still a good idea?!?!?
