Are there really no simple social rules in the future that people do still follow?

There are.

And there are people who think ignoring them makes them somehow cool.

watchful_knight May 5 2010, 15:47:06 UTC

Meriken told me that everyone was ignoring the little rules that were left.

2ndhandlion May 5 2010, 15:48:32 UTC

The people who ignore the rules always like to believe that. They probably feel a little remorse for being morons, so they validate it by claiming everyone else is the same way.

She called me "stiff".

...What rules are there?

Like, what are you talking about, Liet?

Meriken told me that almost nobody gets married anymore in her time, and that dating isn't for that, and with how girls run around and how they view- other things...

I don't say that everything is bad, but I- I'm not sure if it is good.

Wait, what? Sketchy! Does that like, even make any sense? I mean, America's Christian! Isn't she supposed to be like him?! Ohmigod, so not cool!

watchful_knight May 5 2010, 18:12:54 UTC

She said that it was still supposed to be in theory, but nobody follows it anymore.

That really depends on who you ask. but I imagine there have always been people who haven't shown a high level of appreciation for social conventions.

watchful_knight May 6 2010, 06:01:10 UTC

Meriken said that most people, or almost everyone, didn't follow them anymore.

What kind of simple social rules?

[Voice] watchful_knight May 6 2010, 06:02:56 UTC

Not whoring yourself around, for example.

[ Horrified silence. And mental refined facepalm. ]

Depends on which Nation you're talking about. France is famous for that. I don't whore myself around, for one.

But- But he's Christian!

[Has been Christian for longer than most other nations.]

Huh?

watchful_knight May 6 2010, 06:18:24 UTC

Meriken said-

America, why would you court a person?

idkmybfftony May 6 2010, 06:20:37 UTC

The same reason anyone else would?

Well, are we talking nations? Or..

watchful_knight May 6 2010, 06:26:51 UTC

What would that be, in your time?

That doesn't matter.
