Know it all

Have you ever encounter anyone think they know it all? Those friends behaved like a tyrant ever opinionated and uncompromising, regardless of the depth of knowledge on any particular subjects. Have you have one of two of those friends in your life?

I understand that American love to express their opinion, even at times brought upon themselves embarrassment, God forbid if anyone dare to take away their given right, there will be a long night.

This group of people seems to forget no matter where they are in the world; there is social etiquette need to be observed in a polite society? We often laugh at the British with the stiff upper lips, we express dismays towards the attitude of Asian, never willingly to express inner feelings. I do not know which is the better behavior. All I know is that we Americans often speak before we think, ever eager to express our opinion to anyone.

I remember as a schoolboy, I was taught to be humble, always listen and observe, never express opinion unless I was invited? Rather than being a blabbermouth like most of my friends especially gay friends. Instead restraint and control is a virtue should be practiced. Openly express our opinion with out any substances or fully understanding of a particular subject never project a very flattering images. It does not made one look any smarter rather it is just the opposite. The highly educated friends I knew seldom-openly express their thoughts uninvited and they never appear to be boring or unintelligent. Care to comments?

Sometimes friends took one step further to make their host the joke of the party. These acts only reflect one’s poor taste and lack of better upbringing. It is socially unacceptable. Your host may choose to ignore your advances, as any properly mannered hosts would have done. However if the limited is crosses, I suggest it is best to have this friend escorted off the party before further embarrassment brought upon them.

Here is my observation for the day. What is yours?
