Older Generations Are Revealing The Obsolete Things That Newer Generations Are Missing Out On, And It's A Real Trip Down Memory Lane

end quote

Even older generations are missing out on things like "talking about ideas and developmental experiences and learning new things'.... and laughing and exploring ideas about things and working on positive means to address challenges and working out means to deal with daily living.
  • Now, in Forum sites and News Commentary Sites, all many who participate do is, bicker, bitch and moan and attack American Democracy and make a disgraceful mad bicker fest about politics and attack the government systems and play culture censorship madness and attack anything that concerns support and benefit for the working class in society, and now all many do is bitch and moan about programs that helps the poor and the challenged in society.
I've created many thread about things that can help us improve and support improvements in society, but the 'Bicker Addicted Gang" gloss over that and go start to something they can spin "drama antics" and elate themselves by attacking something.

_______________
I still like researching through Encyclopedia's and I have a very old very large Dictionaries which have some pictures, on nice days I still like looking at the amazing patterns that high clouds make with a blue sky background. I like looking at my lawn after I just cut and edged it, and sitting on the patio listening to the birds as well as watching the high flying birds and how high they are above the tree line. I like watching my dog get its toys and run around the yard (i'm not happy about the dog digging holes)... I like raising the hood on my car and wipe the dust collection from my engine. (I no longer try to repair anything on the car, because its too much electronics involved, but I like opening my hood and the engine is clean) I wipe my car down and wax it and clean the wheels, and only go to a car wash if I'm really really busy and don't have time to do it myself.
I like clipping the old dead roses from the bush and watching the new ones bloom.... Lots of simple things that cause no stress and just provide so much to simply appreciate viewing and experiencing the comfort of doing so.

Ummm...

You might want to ask the mods to delete this thread so you can re-do your OP so it works.

Take a look where your link points to.
 
You see, we don't come on here for that. We come on here to Debate Politics. I'm not sure when this started, but for some strange reason this forum drives one to debate politics. It's a mystery left unsolved.

Good luck young Jedi.

Thank you... I will fix it.

Debate about politics is not a bad thing.... when it has an agenda to find reasonable workable compromises to improve life for EVERYONE and The Nation itself.

It's descended into a 'Partisan Divide Bicker Fest" driven by Attack Agenda... rather than "how can we work to improve things for EVERYONE AND SUPPORT "INCLUSIVENESS FOR EVERYONE'.

It's true, I am old. I do those things!!! I also remember when things seems so much better in so many ways.

I remember a lot of those things mentioned in the article. Here's some more...

Writing letters...with actual pen and paper.

Riding my bike a couple miles to the park for little league baseball games and practice.

Spending time in the library letting my mind wander from subject to subject. (Now I just surf the web.)

Slow dancing.

I would prefer discussing governing issues as debate tends to be nothing more than a choice between acceptance of the Democrats or the Republicans having the answers to all governing issues with the only reason an issue isn't resolved being the opposition party.

I get that sentiment. The line in the sand was drawn with Jan. 6th and continued with Roe. The bombs keep coming with the anti woke agenda and pulling food from peoples mouths with their social program cuts. All of this is justified by the lies they believe. Election stolen, babies made at conception, transgenders are grooming their children, Hilary sucks baby juice, defense from government tyranny. How do you work with that?
There's no true or false anymore. It's all weird Q based bullshit.

Add to that the representatives who outwardly speak at White Nationalist conventions and outwardly claim Christian Nationalism. Like what the hell do the rest of us do with this shit? It's no wonder they're wanting to stop black history from being taught or target the LGBTQ+ community. They're courting White Nationalists. 🤪 That's nuts.

If you have a solution for this, I'm all ears. I don't feel like coming together should include believing the lies they base their decisions on. It's like the twilight zone in MAGAland. I have the majority of conservatives and fake non conservatives on ignore here. I mainly just relate to with the rest of us. That includes Independents, Dems, progressives, and Republicans. I can't have a valid convo with MAGA's or MAGA fans.


I like and can talk reasonably with Republicans like this.
 
Ah, who doesn't miss the GOOD OLE DAYS?

No rock n roll music (it was the devil's music after all).
Gay people stayed in the closet.
Women stayed home to service their husbands and take care of the kids.
Back alley abortions for those women foolish enough to get raped.
Blacks knew their place.
Segregated schools and white only water fountains. Ah, paradise!
Commies from Hollywood hunted down and disgraced.
Religion and the Oath in schools. Teachers who behaved.
Smoking in cars, in homes, in businesses, in public spaces. None of this woke "2nd hand smoke kills" nonsense.
Illegal weed.
No need to put up ramps for the disabled or have disabled access washrooms.
Those will learning disabilities were put into institutions and out of the public eye.

Damn, it's easy to see why the good ole days were SO MUCH BETTER.

I'd like to get rid of Political Parties all together, then we could truly discuss governing issues and actually get something done.

I enjoyed "writing with Pen's". I collected Pens and also the various "types of paper".

You must be a lot of fun at parties.
 
I've lived through many decades. I would say the 80s & early 90s were easily the best at least for me. There was a happy positive vibe to it. White people were happy to be white, black people were happy to be black. Now look at the mess we're in. Very sad.

Very Well Said... and the Video is Excellent.... I wish the entire nation and people around the world could view and listen to that video

This should be permanently pinned to the Forum!!! "Post of The Decade"
 
I've lived through many decades. I would say the 80s & early 90s were easily the best at least for me. There was a happy positive vibe to it. White people were happy to be white, black people were happy to be black. Now look at the mess we're in. Very sad.
I get what you're trying to say. That era had a certain optimism to it. It was a fun era.

It was happening back then, we just didn't have the internet. We see everything now.

So, I guess it was a better time in that regard.

It was a good period socially in many areas

Damn it Ginger, that really did put a tear in my eye. THAT video deserves to be posted as a thread. Consider it.
