Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Manners?

I'm just curious as to how all of you value good manners. Is it important to you for your friends to have good manners, a lover, do you think you, yourself have good manners? How much do good manners matter to you?

To me, I am personally really put off by people who have don't have any. Like burping etc in public is not something I find very tolerable, and my family is not one to have a lot of manners. They seem to let everything go.

On my father's side manners are more respected and I was drilled as a child, to not put my elbows on the table, how to hold a wine glass, among other things. Fairly strict stuff like that until I do I started doing it without thinking.

I wouldn't dislike a person for slipping up every now and then, it's human, but to have none at all is a little scary. (@_@)~

I've kinda grown used to behaving myself in public, I remember in elementary school every guy would pick their nose but now that's unthinkable at my age. I don't like having bad manners in public anyways because I hate getting attention or when people look at me because I did something that stood out. In terms of manners, I'm more concerned about being sanitary, it pisses me off how a few of my family members uses their chop sticks to pick out food they want from the dishes on the table, and then afterwards I don't want any of the foods in that plate because their chopstick, with their saliva, has been there. I guess it could also depend on where you are. The manners you conduct in your own country are usually second nature, but I know if I go to places like Japan, I'll prolly miss a few bows and forget some etiquettes there.

Manners are fine but the key is not to be to strict with them because then they become a problem. A self prison. To me person has to have a average amount of manners or else i tend to feel sickned by them if they keep burping and such.

Depends how strict.
I don't mind a bit of swearing and occasionally being a bit loud, but if they are completely disrupting everyone with consistent swearing, bad behaviour and general lack of manners then yes I would normally avoid the person.

It's kinda odd thing..but its something like a duty to do good manners..and manners have great impacts on people you're with..some people would probably like you because of your good manners..others would not like you if you don't have such thing, is it?
but for me it is better if we have good manners/ethics..It can help you to have a better life, for me..

I think it depends. For me I have manners, especially in public. And I don't really burp. But when I do, I say excuse me or sallow it down, which is the right way to do. I remember where I use to live, there was a girl who belched and you can here it all the way across the street. I thought it was rather nasty x(

It really all dpends on where you are and what you're doing. Areyou going to want to use your manners when you're in a rowdy bar? Or how bout at your 21st birthday drinking party? A luxurious restraunt is another story.

I always keep my manners in tact. Especially when I'm in an important banquet like a wedding reception or a formal luncheon with a family. I was always trained with manners, even as a kid. So yeah, I am the kind of guy that does tend to take the style of manners, no matter where I go. But fast food places are an exception, hahahaha XD But I dont do anything too crazy, craziest in breaking manners I can do is chomping down on a big burger as fast as I can and gulping that soda down, hahaha.

Though what are manners? Is it normal to eat meat? Is it normal to believe in a thing that you can only read about? I could make a list but all I try to say is, normal isn't just normal for everyone, so what is normal?

There is no suchthing as normal, same goes for perfection. Well normal and perfection are both the same.

I have a bit of a high value for manners but not like "no elbows on the table" kind of manners. xD I say "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" all the time, very respectful, treat others like you would like to be treated, don't lie, say "please" and "thank you" all the time.. That's me. :D

But I absolutely HATE it when people lick their fingers.. -.- Like after they are done eating or whatever or when they get food on their fingers and lick it off.. That I cannot stand. o_e

Manners are very important to me. My family always tells me I'm too polite; I'd like to tell them they're not polite enough. I'm not so sure about bothering so much over my elbows on the table, though... I cannot stand being in public around people that have no manners at all.

Manners is only that od what people make them. Society has corrupted life in it's own image and honestly, manners dont truly exist if you ask me. I mean, who's to tsay that it's "proper" that you have to eat with a fork or spoon? GO TO THE CAVEMAN DAYS...THEY USED THEIR HANDS AND RAW MEAT...

I think that how a person exhibits manners shows how he or she respects the people around them. :) Like if you sleep over at a friend's house...It's only proper that you pick up your used clothes instead of lying them around. It's common etiquette (and hygiene!), and it shows that you don't think of your hosts as servants.

Even if manners have been drilled into you as a child, at least it shows that you respect people enough to behave in front of them. And even if you don't, at least you respect yourself enough not to make a fool of yourself. XD Still, it's also important to take note of the situation. There are some families, for example, where it's OK to put your feet up on the table at home; in some families it's a definite no-no.
