Well yeah, common decency manners. Like it's really not very kind to burp in some stranger's face, yell obscenities down Main Street, throw up on someone at the bar...etc., all of which I've seen done before. Saying please and thank you (and in the south yes m'am and no ma'am...if you don't people WILL think you're rude), or making polite conversation, sending thank you notes, being respectful in general, that sort of thing...anyone should do all of that. I think there's manners that any decent and polite member of the population should have...and then there's ridiculous manners.
