Same here. I was born in the early 50's. I would not want to be in my 20's today, with all of the insanity going on in this country.I grew up during the same time. Without getting booted from the forum and going on a rant, I'll end it with saying it was a better safer time.
Were the 70's that great? It seems like there were a lot of airline hijackings, serial killers and child abductions. Unable to buy gasoline, disco music, doesn't sound like a good time to me.

Today's modern technological advances in medicine are all great. As is purchasing things with the click of a mouse. The cars today are better than ever. But society as a whole has degraded horribly. We've always had crime, but we respected cops. Because we knew without them we would have anarchy. Today they're despised, spat on, and defunded.
Kids were skinny, and told to eat more at dinner. Now half of them are obese and diabetic, because they don't move a muscle all day. Except to use a game controller.
Mothers always cooked a healthy meal for dinner. And everyone sat down together to eat it, and discuss their day. And the kids talked about what they learned. Today it's, "Get the door, it's Dominos!"
Sheer lunacy. The public school system has been hijacked. Teachers used to encourage parents to join the PTA, and wanted their input.... Now they want them removed from the room and arrested if they comment with any negativity on the curriculum. Regardless of how perverted it is.
Third grade sex education? Seriously? Boys in girls bathrooms. And playing girls sports. I still don't get this whole "gender pronoun" thing.... And I don't want to. Everytime I say this country can't possibly get any crazier, I am proven wrong.
If someone would have told me when I graduated high school back in 1970, that I would be retiring in a society as insane as this, I would have laughed at them. Yet here we are.
I lol because your generation raised the folks who changed things up and way things became. You separate yourself as generation and take no ownership for your children or your children raising kids after etc.Today's modern technological advances in medicine are all great.

Born in 53, 60's 70's and the 80's were the best time of my life, no internet no cell phones. to me the 90's started the fall of music as we know it.I was born in 1969, so I was a 70s kid too. The 70s was the best decade ever!! Imo things began to go to Hell in a hand basket in the late 80s.
First off you are talking about 2 full generations between my generation and kids today. As Ronald Reagan once said, "Freedom is only one generation away from extinction". As it turns out he wasn't very far off.I lol because your generation raised the folks who changed things up and way things became.

I once heard someone say, "All the good music has already been recorded". I think that is true.to me the 90's started the fall of music as we know it.
Turn off fox.A lot of this change originated in the schools. Teaching kids to be independent from their parents. We started to see kids call their parents by their first names, not Mom and Dad.
Instead of educating the system turned to indoctrination.
When I was going to grade school we were graded on Deportment. Most kids today will have no idea what that means.
You have no idea what happens at college or school , just select examples that rile up people and give perception all of them do that.First off you are talking about 2 full generations between my generation and kids today.

In every generation you have parents who have no business being parents. It has always been like that. Today you simply have a lot more of them. You're seeing the result of that.
But far more importantly, when my generation went to school, we were taught to question everything. We even got better grades if we did. Teachers listened as much as they talked.
Back then you were taught HOW to think. Today you are taught WHAT to think. Try giving a teacher or a professor an opposing view in a high school or college today. At best you'll fail. At worst you'll be kicked out of the class, and considered, "disruptive".
It is no longer education. But rather indoctrination. Kids graduate today with their heads pumped full of crap. And they don't question any of it.
And turn on what?Turn off fox.
