OKAY.
Seriously, what the heck is an attitude, anyways?
What does it mean when someone says 'you've too much attitude' or 'you've an attitude problem' or even better 'change your attitude'?
Is this attitude thing percepted or concepted differently in different cultures or countries? Or does it just varies on individually?
What is considered as the so called 'attitude' in a South Asian country like India or Pak may just be considered as a defensive measure in another, lets say, western country?
PS: Sorry if the topic is not put together well and *ahem* there is some sort of improper vocab. used.

I think I kind of know what you're talking about jerry. Such kids should learn the proper usage of words before trynna use it on people.
And it's not just the words, its the mentality that causes them to say things ... its like they've invented their own "english".

I'm not too sure about what they call showing attitude in south asian countries. Where I live, it's got something to do with your personality and how much full of yourself you are. You've got an attitude problem if you're on a power trip and are going through a narcisstic personality disorder of some sort.
