** I really love and appreciate all of the supportive comments. It will take me a while to get through them all, but I do intend to respond to every one. **

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wee bit of a ranty stamp, but purposely done in a non-ranty way...

This piece was prompted by a couple of online incidents I've had over the last few weeks. On one occasion, I simply asked how someone was doing, since they were going through a difficult period, and I was lambasted by one of their friends for being inconsiderate for expecting the person to talk about it. This just perplexed me, because I have always heard people complain about the opposite--that they would feel upset when no one cared enough to ask how they were doing. On another occasion, I was accused of being phony when I simply tried to be nice to someone. Truly, does the world expect, or even prefer, everyone to be jerks?

I know some people think that my nice-ness is fake, but it's not. I once read somewhere that throughout history, and in most cultures (even those with no connection to each other), there is some form of the Golden Rule. Namely, treat people how you want to be treated. So, it's not an un-natural thing to expect others to be polite and extend common courtesy. I simply live by that philosophy. I am just continually boggled how people get so much crap and abuse when they are only trying to be nice and helpful. And it saddens me that so many people feel totally okay making someone else feel like dirt.

And before anyone decides to go on a tirade here and justify why being cruel and abusive to others is okay, don't do it. Any comments that are overtly mean, disrespectful, or snarky will be hidden without warning--and I will do it at my sole discretion. I do not subscribe to the idea that you only need to be nice to people who "deserve" it, since that is wholly subjective. I agree that you don't have to hug every stranger you meet, but you don't have the right to kick them, either.

New stamp template by me. I may release later. Pixel font can be found in my resource folder ---> [link]

As with most of my smileys, you may use this on and off dA, without my permission. The only thing I ask is that you keep the file name in tact and don't remove any credit information. If you do use it for something, it would be nice if you could comment and let me know. It encourages me to make more smileys if I know people are using/enjoying them.

Please note, this piece is NOT available for commercial use.***

I hate that people's reactions to things have turned me into a bitter person. I can't stand seeing people be rude ass holes and it turns me into an angry introvert.

You don't even know how glad I was to find this stamp. It constantly sickens me when people are being rude and spiteful to each other, in real life and on the internet. I wish people would understand that even if you don't like someone, you shouldn't be unnecessarily rude to them. The other thing which annoys me is when you comment on someone's work, something serious rather than a "Cool" or just some kind of simple, even joking comment, and people either ignore it or go "k" in reply

Sorry about that -w-

`Mirz123 Apr 21, 2013

No worries. thanks for sharing. I feel the same way.

~Fisheh-Kitty Apr 21, 2013

Glad to hear that ;w;

It seems that when people go on the Internet, common courtesy and/or manners seem to go out of the window...

`Mirz123 Apr 21, 2013

Though, honestly, it was on the downhill slide before then. Internet just put it into high gear.

~fonejackboy Apr 21, 2013

You're not wrong there.

Unfortunately it seems to be when the internet was born

I guess bad manners were in style before then...I just don't remember it being so prevalent until the internet...

I agree with this stamp like never before. I'm 13 and in 8th grade at the moment, it seems that in today's society, you have to be stupid, or commit something that can put you or somebody at risk to be so called "popular" I literally seen a 5 year old boy curse in from of his friends, and they seemed to enjoy it...

But the 1 thing that annoys me the most, is that rude and impolite people "spread" What I mean by that is the fact that they will someday have kids (Or are they too "cool"? -.-'), and will then they will raise them like they're parents raised them...

Just this other day, my mom's friend was at the grocery market, she came to put her bags in her car and go, and she hears a mother cursing at her child (proving many parents of today don't care about they're child). The kid had to pee, and the mother said to pee on the ground instead.. (They were outside).
The kid started pissing on the friend's car..

She looked at the mom, and said: "What is he doing??"
She looked back with her cigarette and said: "What does it look like?"

Sorry for the long text, but this is just how ill manner people are. It annoys me...
I'm happy that I am well mannered and polite

Unlike our generation of today...

And not to be negative or anything, but I doubt we will ever live in a world with GOOD MANNERED teenagers (I'm not saying all are bad)
Have a good day young Deviant

I so agree. I see so many terribly rude children and it makes me sad, because I realize it isn't their fault. it's really their parents. *sigh*

Anyhow, thanks for sharing your thoughts and commenting.
