 I was thinking it was. Then about
two weeks ago I got a flat on a
busy road. I had forgotten my cell
phone, and there were no phones
around. Someone did stop to let me
use her cell phone to call the AAA.
While we were waiting, a very nice
man pulled over and offered to
change the tire for me. Chivalry
is not dead. It's just that few
people practice it |

Amen to that sister! Half the time
people are suspicious if you render
them a kindness. Men are ruder than
ever. My old man took an early
stand against opening doors for me,
although I do it for him as often
as not. My son is a gentleman, and
opens doors for women including and
especially MOM, but he respects
women and reveres God and his
Elders. What planet did we come
from. |

Chivalry is not dead. Parents need
to teach their boys how to treat a
lady at an early age. There are
still alot of good guys out there. |

Chivalry isn't dead yet, but it
sure is endangered! It's so rare to
find someone that will help you for
nothing in return. |

I hear you. They should treat us
right. The parents should teach
them to be gentlemen toward a
lady.Like open the door for her and
buy something for her. I am with
you a 100% |

I think it is dying out as people
today are too involved with their
own matters to care about others
like we all use to. |

I believe if it is not dead it is
dying a slow painful death. This
morning I ran down the battery on
my car (stupid mistake) forgot to
take the keys out after rolling up
the windows, anyhow, I stood on the
side of a residential road for two
hours with a jumper cables in my
hand the hood up and, waved to
people, even went so far as to go
inside and change into a cute tank
top, not a single person stopped.
Do we really not have enough time
to stop and help someone? The speed
limit is 25 on this street, it's
not even like I was on the side of
the highway. (BTW still waiting if
anyone feels chivalrous come and
jump me) I came inside and am going
to wait until one of the neighbors
gets home, so sad, I'm terribly
disappointed. |

 No it's not dead, however you do
need to look in the correct places
to find it!
If you stick your head in the sand,
the expect to see sand!
In a flower garden and you'll see
flowers!
In a bar and you'll see drunks,
hustlers, and trash!
If you can buy drugs there, or meet
someone that dose them, then you're
looking in the wrong place's!

No, I don't think chivalry is dead,
maybe just dormant? Unfortunately
in this day and age, one has to be
very careful to "help" people
because of getting robbed, raped,
beaten up, or killed! But there
are still some good people out
there. And, I still help people if
I see an opportunity and I know
it's safe...sometimes you get a
"gut" feeling NOT to stop to help
someone because something just
isn't right...so I say go on that
gut feeling. Better to be safe
than sorry. But let's don't
altogether stop helping our fellow
citizens that really need the help.
Just be careful and be "street
smart".. |

What! C'mon people... Maybe
Chivalry is dead in your world..
But let me tell you I personally
was raised how to treat a lady, and
to go out of my way to help
others.. Don't get me wrong yes
there are plenty of ppl out there
without the slightest clue.. But
there are much more of us who still
go that extra step to make someone
who is not in our immediate
personal life a happier person for
no reason at all other than just
because we felt like it... I love
giving the gift of a smile, or
happiness.. Or taking the time for
the "little things".. And I know
that I'm not the only one because
I've been "payed forward" as well
as "pay it forward" myself.. So
don't think Its too late.. Go do
something for someone else ... No
matter how minute it may be... And
take the time to make your girl
feel special guys.. No matter how
insignificant you may think it is
to do something pointlessly nice or
romantic... She will love it...
Your just too blind to notice... |

As I don my suit of armour and sit
astride my gallant steed I think
about the good old days. Those days
of rescuing maidens and fighting
dragons. Alas the days of dragons
and "Maidens" is gone but not the
act of chivalry! There are some who
keep it alive and why not! The
modern day knights fight for
justice, equality, against
oppression and for the rights of
all! They treat women and children
kindly and with respect! These are
not qualities that die! They live
on in the human spirit and will
survive for eternity! So all my
bretheren of the Round Table let us
ride and spread the virtue of
chivalry wherever we may roam! |

My husband goes out of his way on a
daily basis to help anyone who
seems in need.. It's not dead..
Maybe your just looking for
chivalry in all the wrong places
;). I would like to add not as
part of the debate but I often see
a man hold a door for a lady.. And
rarely hear the "LADY" respond with
a thank you or even a nod. Respect
is a 2 way street
I also have to say.. IF chivalry is
dying.. Its due in some part to the
OVERDOSE of feminism. How can you
complain that a man doesn't treat a
lady like a lady.. When a good
percentage of the ladies prefer to
be treated like a man.. An equal..
So many men I know say they are
Darned if they do and darned if
they don't. How are they supposed
to know if you are a LADY or one of
those fem nazis who will stand
there going.. I can open my own
door this isn't the 50's. ????
Sorry but this is one of my pet
peeves |

Heck no, it's not dead; it's not
even ill.
Everyday someone reaches out to me
to honor me in a way that I have
done nothing to deserve--and which
honors the human being I am and who
they are, as well. I see it many
times everyday. Chivalry is
growing-- and will continue to grow
as we evolve as human beings. |

I agree with 'agent' Thmpsn. If
the kids see it the kids will
follow through. And guys: Open the
car door for your woman and make
her feel valued-or stand the chance
to lose er. |

Actually I'm still for chivalry. |

I do not believe chieverley is
dead. Some people are just plain
ruid but there are people who work
hard and respect others.i think you
should change the people you hang
with and the places you go.i know
many people and see many people
who still have chivarly. You are be
really harsh. I am not try to say
there are not cruel people in are
society but lets not label every
one that way. |

I think people today just don't
take the time to speak and help
others in today's world. |

I don't think its fully dead. I
mean a lot of people hold doors
open or help others but a lot of
people decide not to. Still some
great people keep it going. |
