hi all interesting comments on politeness and 'civility' (and nice?ness?)
no wonder I get in trouble with my mother-in-law so much
niall
PS - its on the church list because I hear the 'we need to be more civil' and 'the young people
are just rude' so often as the reason for the decline in the church...
from the article

Civility has a host of meanings, and generations often differ sharply in the way they interpret behaviour. No one would disagree that we should be kinder, and more considerate. But the one constant is that calls from the powerful for civility are usually made for a political purpose - one which it is not always easy to be polite about.
