You think this is a new thought? Cause that's what the primaries are for. But you didn't vote, so idc about what mental gymnastics you need to do to justify your bullshit. Either do something real about it or get off your high horse and slug it out in the electorial season's trenches with the rest of us.

    It be more effective of an opinion if you voiced it at the ballot box instead of the soap box there bud.

    You chose not to, so now you have to accept the consequences of that.

    Casting you vote aside already tells us you don't care what you have to say, so why should we?

    Addition: Nice edit lol love the backpedaling.

    Fair. However, everywhere in the US the service industry, military, and general phone etiquette (which is a dying thing) demands the standard colloquial terms of respect that are "sir and ma'am".

    A previous commenter mentioned that the societal obsession with youth is a problem. I would go further and say that it is a larger problem than how people attempt to show others respect.

    As a southerner, sir and ma'am are used regardless of age. My little sister has always been ma'am. Its a respect thing. People that get bent put of shape take things too seriously
