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 love manners. I was raised by my mother to always be polite.

Ever since I was little people would tell my mother how amazingly well-behaved I was. I always use "please" and "thank you" and "excuse me", eat with a napkin in my lap, address others as "miss", "ma'am" or "sir", hold the door for people, etc.

I think it's important, and am always put off by others who don't use them. It's only polite!

It annoys me when people exhibit bad manners, but I merely ignore it when I can... and spend as little time in their company as possible. :P

For me manners is really important especially in my country we really value good manners. Coz' if people saw you with no manners they will start to gossip you and tell what kind of parents and ancestors you have for not knowing good manners. But even though we really should learn to practice good manners just to show respect to each other whenever your in a different country. Even though I'm old I still practice good manners towards my parents and the elders coz' it really shows how good you are and how your parents brought you up and I'm proud of it.

Being raised by parents who were quite strict with manners, I have to say, I myself hold them in great importance. While I'm not as strict about them as my parents or other members of the family, I still can't shake the habit of making sure to always say 'excuse me' even when I'm alone. That's probably why I can't stand to see people in public who have bad manners, or who just don't give a damn.

Manners... I hold them so high, not only because of the way I was raised by my parents, but because I really believe that you should treat others the way you'd want to be treated. I absolutely hate when people cut in front of you in a cue, or they demand something instead of saying "please" and forgetting "thank you's" and "you're welcome's". That's just rude in my opinion.

I think manners are one of the most important qualities a human being has. If we do not care about it, we simply equal ourselves to animals, which do not have and cannot understand why of anything.

Animals do not think, just act. As human beings, a superior race in this planet, we are different in everything, including manners. Who cannot understand the importance of it, cannot understand the importance of its own life.

I don't care much for manners, but I try to follow their rules, such as, use "thank you", "please" and such, eat without making noise, hold the door for others... that's not much and it's not hard to do. I don't really like when people ignore even these simple rules... and are rude. Were they really brought up that badly? It's a strange thing, really.

It all depends on where i am. If i am with my friends, then i will most likely have horrible manners and screw around and stuff, but if there are like other, parents, strangers i am usually behaved because i don't want to make a fool of myself. Thats just embarrassing p(ToT)q emoticon

I am a person who values casuality above all else, and so I'm not really one to push the importance of manners. Manners just seem so superfluous and empty. I hear 'Thank you' and 'I'm sorry' too many times in a single day. All it does is lower the value of the words until they are next to worthless.

Most things that are considered to be polite are so pointless to begin with, that it was hard for me to ever take it seriously. Things like not putting elbows on the table and addressing superiors or elders as 'Sir' or 'Ma'am' lack purpose, other then needless effort and self-belittlement.

For me i always been a manner person when i was born just the way it is i think it good thing or bad things at times because some people cant take manner people if you know wat i mean but that who i am i cant change the person i am now since i already used to being it when i was born but even with bad people saying bad stuff to me i dont take it seriously i just ignores if you try to talk on about it to them it will just make things worst so the best thing to do for me that is to ignore the bad things that will happen atferwoods if you keep on going but if it with my friends i fine with it =]

I really think one should have manners but then again what does one think are manners. I hate to eat in public, because they all look at you, even if they don't want to. That makes me nervous and then I start eating like I have no manners. I personally think nobody should have anything to say about you. They can't say you have no manners, but in this world you just have to have them.

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?

Yes, I expect my friends to have manners. I try to be polite in every interaction I have with them. I try to make all my critisism constructive, say please and thank you, and excuse if accidents happen.

My partner needs to treat me with respect becasue a loving relationship cannot be without respect and treating each other with good manners. This includes asking them about most topics, being honest, and keeping your "space" in the relationship in tact.

I beleive I have very good manners. I cannot stand when people do not consider thier actions have an effect on other people. It is untolerable and I will say something about rudness. I will say it in a manner that is still respectable to that person because it would only continue the cycle of being unmannered. Everyone must be proactive in having manners if you want others to take that duty as well around you, in the very least. Great topic!

Manners are good, but it's no good to be super-polite to everyone.
I mean, you don't want your guest to eat and break everything in your house (like Goldilocks), do you? But would you want to hang around with someone who's always very uptight? It'll be awkward, hanging around someone who's always overly polite to you.

So yeah, I believe that manners are good, but in moderation. "No extremes" is usually a good thing.

A lot of the time, people conduct themselves according to their true selves. (Okay, I know that there are a LOT of exceptions to this, but humor me, okay?) Their conduct makes people think things about them. If you are a very rude person, people will tend to think bad things about you.

I love manners.

It utterly digust me when I meet other people who have no respect and no manner for anyone else but themselves. It really frustrates me when they expect other to appreicate them and treat them like gods.

I find that having manners and respecting a human being goes hand and hand, you won't make it anywhere in this world if you don't have either one.
