1939 New York in HD Color - Looks Like Filmed Yesterday!

Summary:

Every single Man would like to go back to the period of their "Wonder Years" typically age 10-16 and relive life in that period carrying the accumulated wisdom they have currently obtained.

Women don't seem to have this fantasy.

I'd be curious to break that down and see what the difference is.

I think it's because women need to feel protected and secure, and at the point in their lives where men start to wax nostalgic, the Women are finally feeling that sense of security and wouldn't trade it.

yeah and wages were different. The old dollar was waaaay more valuable. 10 cents then maybe like 10 usd now.

Now days Richard learns from school that firearms should only be trusted to the government because they are our friends only looking out for our best interest.

Complete failure, I am sorry for your lack of understanding in my post.

When I was a kid I would tell my mom I was sleeping at my friend's house and we would all go to Times Square and hang around, you couldn't possibly be bored just watching people.

Very cool vid!

Geez, let us old people have our memories. You are probably a child born in the 90's and have no idea what you are talking about. We are your parents and grand parents.

No they didn't!

Even the street thugs had manners in those days.

@ 2:45 the black girls seem awfully mesmerized by that monkey

Wrong

And there's not one really fat person in this vid.

Born in the 70s and don't pretend to know what it was like to live in every era. The point that is completed missed is: don't hate today for a fantasy of the past. Enjoy your memories and history as I enjoy my childhood by do not do it at the expense of today, that just spreads hate and negatively... How do you expect your children and children's children to grow into a world they love when their elders only take about how it use to be better.

Better perspective. It was great, it is great and you will have a great life...if you want it. And no this is not naive regardless of what you think.

You have many years of experience to draw on and share with the world, how would you like as child if your grandparents said the world you are growing up in was shit.

And now my cousin, who worked for Eastman Kodak, in Rochester, NY is out of a job, with closing down of Kodak..

Something seriously went wrong with America!

Back then they had manners and packed heat. My point was no one cared they were carrying guns. It was almost expected.

Prol had much more incentive to live healthy. If you had a heart attack, you died. And no free drugs.

Interesting perspective and fascination with my dick. I was only commenting on what you were saying, you brought up the lizard people.

What it means to be in control of ones self is to live life to a higher moral standard set by ones own judgement. If you feel that it is morally acceptable to make a complete assumptions and hurl comments about someone's dick, than I wonder who the mindful one is.

What I got from that is the lack of 'menace' there seemed to be, everbody it seemed knew their place and didn't step out of line, else there would be real and swift consequences.

Nowadays there just isn't that faith - you dare not look askance at anyone acting out on a street, because they will be in your face in a heartbeat, no-one will come to your aid and the police if they turn up will likely as not give you a hard time out of some P.C insanity.

Nowadays you only get that sort of peace in rural villagey places - though I have noted that even in big Moslem cities - there is that sort of peace - where everyone knows their place and what will happen to them or anyone else who steps out of line, China and Japan also come to mind.


This is what multiculturalism, Political Correctness, and communist cultural subversion have bought us - by design!

what an ugly fucking city.

Wonderful emoting by those actresses. And Updating Facebook not even a glimmer in their hearts. Thanks.

Ladies in dresses, and not dudes.

No disrespect but your point is complete lost with your lack of eloquence in sharing.

For the record I have not shown any disrespect for the past. The point was not to disrespect today. Love the past, but not at the expense of today if it is not true.

I agree if you go out and think you can do whatever you want without a moral code to adhere to it can be a significant problem. But as a previous posted stated, part of the moral code of society was to segregate and keep woman quiet and in the house.

I feel my morals are much stronger when I have to answer to myself and not society.

Hard to believe we were in the midst of the deadliest military conflict ever, in which mankind murdered 70 million of their own, and that the nuking of Japan by the US was only a few short years away.

oh wow, these kids got to play without being arrested by dhs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^​^

Only thing now America and the American Dream has totally collapsed!

Probably around 9-11-2001.

Wow you sound just like a teenager of today going for shock value.... It is all perspective dude.

It is true what they say! Once there existed White people!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^​
