Good old days or 21st century?
 

Do you prefer the days of the 50s, 60s and 70s to the present age? Or would you rather live in a tolerant, more technological age?

50's 60's 70's were all well and good if you had money but pretty bleak if you didn't. We can live a lot more comfortable on a lot less now. I don't think there's such a thing as 'The good old days'.

I think from all I have heard from my family and older people I have had good chats with as to their past lives,I would rather go back to maybe the 50s and 60s.

I think maybe,there was a stronger community spirit between people and neighbours especially then and much more looking out for each other with far less selfishness.
I also have a great love of 60s music too so I would likely be over the moon.

when most people say they prefer the 'early days' it's just nostalgia speaking

I get sick and tired of people banging on about how swell life used to be though. Maybe if you were a rich, straight, white British male but other groups had it hard, did they not?

Got a lot better towards the 80s, mind. I actually wouldn't mind living in that era.

I think there's pros and cons to both. I agree with what joe said regarding the olden days being good only if you had money, but I think I would have liked to have experienced a time when men were gentlemen and eomen were ladies and it wasn't the norm for young couples to go out, get smashed and shag in full view of ahyone down theur local park.

yeah, my dad's family experienced horrendous things in the 60s and 70s. they had to always walk in groups

Thought 80's was the rise of the NF and stuff. Probably one of the most violent decades.

Exactly, otherwise you'd have been lynched or s/t. The ethnic population up here used to be confined to one particular place (Toxteth) for fear of racial abuse.

So it pisses me off when people moan about how things are these days when it was much worse than this at a point.

Yeah, people tend to forget the intolerance and poverty that happened the 20th Century, they prefer to remember how you seemingly didn't get robbed as much.

I want a Time Machine
so I can go back to 1930 set up the shares
then Jump to 1960
Collect the billions
then jump to 1969
NY Electric Lady Studio
give Jimi Hendrix a Digital Delay
made by Boss, tell him never to lend it
as he has the only one


Then Jump to 1974
buy a Quadraphonic Sony System
LP's in 4 ch. Quad.


Then Jump to
2001 June
With info on Mohamed el-Amir Awad el-Sayed Atta
for FBI and CIA
who was taking flying lessons in Florida
he was learning to Fly Straight
nothing else , he did not want to learn to take off
or land.

A Female FBI officer gave data on him
but it was not looked at Properly.

He will then be arrested
9/11 is stopped.

And since I changed history
I have to stay at that year
which is fine as I can Double my Billions
in 2007 -2008 just before the American bank goes under.


And when Mark sets Up TIBB
I set up Funding for him to run the Site
A Bank Deal only to help TIBB
his baby.



Feel The Force

Even that's ambiguous. I'm sure at a time you were legally allowed to carry knives.

Yup, people probably remember it that way, because they had a more innocent view of the world back then. Hell, I grew up in the 90s feeling pretty safe as a kid, but this was the decade when James Bulger was killed, among plenty of other horrific crimes.

I think its natural for people to feel an affinity for the period in which they grow up seeing as they are a product of that time, although the traditionalist in me does find the idea of living a few decades earlier quite appealing though that'd be holding a rose tinted view of it

I would love to go back to the 20s....just for the clothes...

Much better back then

What's your problem son

I would like to experience the past but today's lifestyle seems more convenient.

Plenty more where that came from.

Niamh has experienced both.

Ahh. I loved living in the 50s. Good times for me.

Who in the name of god is that in that rather dashing gif??

Thor.

chris hemsworth, lee :p

anyway I think everyone that looks back on the 90s (that's my age or something) as a better time now are largely influenced by the fact that they had no responsibilities then because they were kids
