| 1280794 | 2012-06-09 23:57:00 | What if the guy was Jewish and the hat was that little skull cap thing they wear, is it still acceptable to ask him to remove it? If not why the hell are religious reasons good enough to get away with bad manners as you say. Its just a hat, its your own personal prejudices and antiquated mannerisms. Just because YOU were taught it and YOU were brought up with it does not make it right for now, it might have been right back then but not now, the world moves on, so should you. |

| 1280796 | 2012-06-10 00:14:00 | Pig ignorance. Indeed, that is your curse, and at your age enlightenment is probably beyond you. If you can, open your eyes, witness the world around you, Its bigger and more varied then your regimented mindset. Its a hat, and the only person with a say in it is the wearer of the hat. |

| 1280798 | 2012-06-10 00:21:00 | im with ReefRunner on this one, being brought up by my nan, wearing a hat at the table was considered impolte and warranted an instant caning to the buttoks (pre anti-smaking law) . There - fixed it for you Signed: The Spelling Police For Kane see here (dictionary.sensagent.com) |

Sad to say Richard, this is the world we live in. All we can do is put in a complaint when we go to meet our maker. I am sure he is not aware of these cap things. |

| 1280800 | 2012-06-10 00:39:00 | Who was paying for the meal, you - or was it shared? Plus, you've gotta lay some of the blame for the inept behaviour at the door of the lad's parents. Manners are about being aware of other people's standards and when it is appropriate to "accept" them. It's still possible to get your kids to realise that o that if you're not prepared to have thems dragged down to the lowest common denominator - and it pays off. Here's a recent real life example: I was talking to a couple I know (he's just turned 40) and the other night their 18 year old son came across a lady in town whose car wouldn't start. Here's waht his proud mum told me. "The lady (in her late 50's/early 60's) came to my work to tell me how kind he had been - tried to help start her car (which he couldn't)...so then offered to drive her home which was the next town over. She offered him money for his trouble and he refused saying he would hope that if his own Mum was needing help, that someone would do the same thing for her..." The lad already has a job, but word about things like get around in a smallish town so if, in future, there's a toss up between him and somebody else I know who I'd put my money on...... |

| 1280802 | 2012-06-10 00:45:00 | While that is a great story tuiruru we are talking about a hat. Perhaps if the help was refused because he was wearing a hat it might be relevant to one side of this argument. And that would be mine, Metla's etc because refusing help over a hat is insane right, its just a hat. |
