Politeness is again child’s play.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

When patronizing your local commercial establishments, practice politeness with personnel providing service to customers.

Once again, children are exposed to politeness by a responsible gun owner (sic).

The child was said to be shot accidentally by a 9-year-old inside a car according to WSB-TV.

Police say an adult went inside to pick up food and left a gun inside the vehicle.

Practice random acts of politeness.

Be polite to our furry four-legged friends.

Aside:

Yes, I agree, the concept of “support animals” has been warped beyond recognition. But that’s irrelevant to the point of this post, which is that the concept of the “right to bear arms” has been warped beyong recognition.

If you desire to take exception to rules of the hostelry which hosts your overnight stay, do so with politeness.

We are a failed society.

In discussing yet another pointless, senseless, apparently motiveless shooting, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Tony Norman gets to the ultimate appeal of gunnuttery:

Welcome visitors to our shores from abroad with our peculiarly American form of politeness.

Officers arrived to find a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head, Kissell said. Dr. Matthew Willson of Chertsey, Surrey, England — an astrophysicist — was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries, police said. The case has been ruled a homicide.

“This incident appears to be a random act involving individuals participating in the reckless discharge of firearm(s) which led to the tragic death of Dr. Willson,” police said in an emailed statement. “Dr. Willson was in town from England visiting loved ones when the incident occurred.”

Celebrate birthdays with politeness.

Be polite to your classmates.

Expose children to politeness at an early age.

Exercise politeness in resolving disputes upon the nation’s highways and byways.

We are again reminded that politeness takes practice.

A Florida woman suffered a serious gunshot wound in her backyard after being hit by a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle from neighbors who were next door target shooting.

The story goes on to quote the local sheriff as saying that “target practice is not illegal” (those are the words in the report, not necessarily the sheriff’s exact words).

We are again confronted by one who knows not that “negligent” and “accidental” are not synonyms.

Be polite to the server at the drive-thru.

We are again reminded that a polite society is a clean society.

As we know, politeness takes practice.

One more time, “accidental” and “negligent” are not synonyms.

Once again, politeness goes to for the dogs.

Politeness is a family value.

Celebrate holidays politely.
