I'm sick of getting constant patdowns at the airport security because.... I'm blonde and they want to make it look like they aren't stereotyping so they pat me down and ignore the Muslims wearing burkhas. I'm tired of being their token scapegoat. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 73368961 United States 01/17/2021 04:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was 14 years old, embarking on the PRIME of my life (which, thank GOD, I am still in) and, what can I say, it simply was one of THE BEST ERAS to be a young adult or adult! Quoting: John Titor 911 I was an EXTREMELY PRECOCIOUS child, very much advanced for my age in both physical and mental growth. I was ALREADY getting served alcohol, in bars and liquor stores at age 12! Not that that's bad or good, it just was. I was already 5'11" tall then! I have friends who to this day still do not understand how I did it. Suffice it to say that I was a responsible kid as well and did not overindulge. I would buy beer for other, much older 18 year olds, since alcohol was restricted to 21 year olds in my state then, but not now. I lived the dance era known as "the disco era," which as most of us healthy guys saw it as "a chance to score with chicks." That's why young men and old men alike braved the shaky social risk of actually wearing the correct garb, going to a disco-theque then, with one's girlfriend on their arm AND DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY. It was a lot of fun. I miss it. Every generation misses it's heydey. 1978 was mine. That's all. Giorgio Morodor's "Midnight Express Theme," from the movie and also "Coast To Coast A.M.'s" theme, since 1989! You are clearly white as very few non-whites enjoyed being beaten up by cops daily becasue of their skin color. No you stupid non-witemanz pos! Cops beat criminals...note that crime was non existent! But now kknneeggrroowweess beez pruticked frum da popo by da kknbeeggrroowwee lubin gubmint and crime is rampant fool!!! |

I miss it too but the early 70s (70 - 74) were even better. In my opinion music was the best it's ever been from about 1967 to about 1974 (with exceptions of course). People were WAYYYY different than they are now. Much better. You could work an average job and afford a house. I could be wrong, but Americans in the 1970s would have NEVER stood for shit that's been going on for the past couple decades - they would have thrown out the criminals. It may have been easier then because we didn't have the technology. We also had freedom and PRIVACY. There weren't cameras anywhere. No cell phones or home computers though. It was a different era. If I could back in time and finish out my life I would go in a second without question. It was an awesome time to be an American and there was so much freedom. It's too bad it all went to shit starting in about 1980, and it got progressively worse from then on, in my opinion. |

I always say bring me a time machine so I can go back to 1958 to live out the rest of my life. I would love to go to 1978 too, but then I might still be alive after the year 2000 when it all came crashing down for our country. Peepaws |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79853162 United Kingdom 01/17/2021 08:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most people could not actually handle going back to 1978. No internet, no cell phones, no satellite TV only a handful of blurry fuzzy TV stations. Most jobs were full on hard labor if you were lucky to have a job. Housing and conditions for millions of people was really tough. Many houses were unheated or had only one room heat source. Not many could afford a car certainly not a new car. Home entertainment was the family watching the only TV in the house. Games were mostly puzzles, board and playing cards. Food was incredibly basic. The freezer isle only had frozen veg, potatoes fries, sausages and tubs of ice cream. No fast food or ready meals. Everyone had flares, huge platform shoes and well overgrown hair:) Most people smoked and you could smoke almost anywhere. Lots more drank beer and spirits. So you can see why music then had such an impact because there was very little else to do other than collect LP's Oh and chasing girls of course. |

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |

User ID: 76494359 United States 01/17/2021 08:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1978 was a good year for me. I was in elementary school, living in Germany and loved it there. My brothers and I practically lived in the forests and the hills - building forts in the summer, sledding in the winter and visiting castles. Our favorite activity was playing in the forests - we would go under the fence where the tank trails were (restricted area) - we didn't know it was dangerous. We pretended we were entering Soviet territory - that was a big deal back then and, even in elementary school, we were aware of the Cold War. There were wild boars in those forests too, luckily we never encountered any. We would go to the post movie theater for the Sunday matinee and watch some really obscure movies - we didn't get the same commercial box office hit movies that were shown in the United States. We only had one TV station (AFRTS) and it only aired for a few hours a day. |
