In response to Some Interesting Comments posted by pink101:
I forgot to mention that I think the 'net has contributed to the increase in rudeness because of its anonymity.

In relation to that, have you ever read Erich Fromm's The anatomy of Human Destructiveness? He says that one of the symptoms of alienation is that people resort to violent means of communication (rudeness, profanity) as a way of shocking people into paying attention and connecting with them.

peace and love,
