I don't think there's anything wrong. But it's suppose to be proper to NOT put them on. But when my sister went over to London to visit her boyfriend at the time, his family thought she was rude because she DIDN'T show her hands or arms on the table. And apperently they made a HUGE deal about it!!! His dad was from Iraq and the mom was from Spain...

There is nothing wrong with it in this day and age. The only thing wrong, is people still following these customs from a time when none of us or anyone we know even existed. Tradition is great, as long as you know why you follow it. If we as a species keep believing everything we are told without questioning "why is that so", we will never evolve into something other than an intelligent ape. It is the same concept as religion. "I don't know" instead of finding the answer myself, I'll ask someone else. Without even realizing that this "preacher" is about to tell me what I am supposed to do and believe. Who is he?....he is a person just like you or me. Basically in my opinion, quit worrying about what people you don't know think about you, and start enjoying your life with your true Friends and family. That's all that matters in the end. Butt please don't take my word for it, I'm just a guy expressing his opinion. WOW...pretty deep...must be the booze....)

He who uses elbows is not helped?

Using "elbows" in self-defense may result in not needing "help". Placing "elbows" on the table during a meal doesn't mean you won't get "helped" (served) . . . it's just deemed to be bad manners in some places. Belly-crawling with "elbows" is a good way to keep a low profile . . . definitely "helps".
