We've become a rude and aggressive society, by and large. However, it does seem to depend where you live. Around here, everyone says good morning or hello when they pass in the street, and although we are all detached, we mostly know and talk to each other.
Perhaps the situation is best summed up by the fact that we all watched it and commented - which is just the reward that the guy who filmed it wanted. He'll be telling his mates that his video has over 800 hits, and down the pub they'll all think more of him for that. We get the society we deserve - if you don't want this stuff to happen, stop rewarding the people who do it by watching it! And as for the person who had enough time to trawl YouTube to find it? Get a life...
