Question for all uncouth ruffians -?
It seems that people are getting more and more polite every day. Today I saw someone drop a bag of fruits, and two people helped her to pick them up. Not so long ago something like this would have prompted people to gather round to point and laugh at her misfortune.
What ever happened to basic human incivility? And what can we do to stop this disturbing trend?

Yes, you're right, we need a "Bring Back Schadenfreude!" campaign with T-shirts and bumper stickers, too!
("Schadenfreude" (shade-en-froid-uh) is a term for the pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others, like when someone slips and falls and you can't stop yourself from laughing, see link, below)
Good luck!...
