Well with all the topics on being Jaded and that the 'scene' is all farked I thought I'd start a thread on something completely different.
On the weekend I was reading the Sunday Age magazine and it had an article on a book about etiquette. During the article it gave examples of etiquette as outlined in the book. This lead me to thinking that is etiqutte just like ethics a subjective opinion on the way things ought to be.
Why is it that when we think etiquette we think no elbows on the table as opposed to what do I think is right. I for one would be highly offended if I was greated in an overly formal manner and therefore would consider it a breach of my personal etiquette.
Anyway what do you all think of etiquette, what do you consider to be some of your own standards etc.
