There were jobs everywhere and the cops recognized constitutional rights. Criminals went to jail, everyone got a free trial. A college class cost $13 per unit. The music was from actual musical instruments and free speech existed. America was free. Wonderful times. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78012640 Nice! Great post. Very accurate. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77804159 United States 09/20/2019 03:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was 17 in southern California, when it was still a great place to live. Now it's a shithole. My girlfriend was hot as hell and sweet as could be. It was a much better time, a much more innocent time. People were much nicer, no one had disgusting tattoos or nasty piercings in stupid places, people weren't staring at stupid fucking phones, there was no social media, "influencers", or any of that bullshit. Men were men and women were women, the prices of things made sense, and the music was far superior to the crap kids listen to today. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77987112 We spent those days driving around in old Cougars and Mustangs, fixing them ourselves if they had a problem, spa-hopping at coastal hotels and then throwing the lounge chairs in the pool on the way out, to prove we'd been there, going to kick ass concerts, having all-night sex on the lifeguard tower beneath the full moon, then staggering after each other down the beach, drunk and laughing and full of hope. We had no inkling at all that the world would turn into this demonic hellhole. It was a far superior time. |

Got plenty of sunshine and didn't have to worry nearly as much about wackos as long as you stayed in your yard, etc. Dug holes in the ground, looked for arrowheads, played with the dog, the night sky had more stars, explored swamps, etc. Nothing like the miserable experience of kids today. |

That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.” Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77423390 Couldn't agree more. We found arrow heads. Fished on neighborhood ponds. Played baseball, basketball, and football in our yards. Built tree houses. Rode go carts. Popped fireworks. We had fun. |

No smart phones. There were cell phones but they were still the size of bricks but would get smaller in a couple of years. Movies were on VHS Jiffy Pop was still a bigger seller than microwave popcorn. Beige computers with giant, low resolution CRT screens. 5 inch floppy discs Cassettes and CDs. (Vinyl was being phased out around this time). The big movies were sequels; Lethal Weapon II Back To The Future II Ghostbusters II |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78003138 wtf is a parking lot party? a bunch of idiots getting drunk in a parking lot than drinking and driving? Yeah, sounds so cool bro. It's time to cut your fucking hair bro, long hair on guys is so uncool in 2019 bruuuuh First of all, I'm a girl. Bruuuh A parking lot part was before a rock/metal concert. No one was drinking & driving you idiot. Right. Weed was what we did, not drink (at least in the parking lots before the shows.) Haters gotta hate. :/ |

Better technology and medical care for everyone. Way less racism in general and more acceptance of people who once were chastised from society. You would have to be an idiot to think things were better in 1989 than now. Oldtards. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77724058 Everything is better in every possible way now. Stop watching TV, playing on your laptop and get outside. you are such a dumb ass if you truly believe the drivel you just wrote. Speaking out of the ass is more like it. Not even born yet ( to even know what it is talking about.) Nuff said. Last Edited by LilMiss on 09/20/2019 07:20 AM |
