Topic History of: "We've never had it so good" Max. showing the last 5 posts - (Last post first)
veritas |
This article sounds about right if somewhat exagerated.
There has always been crime because there has always been criminals and all will be.There have always been horrific murders and mass murders (especially in the UK which seems to have a propensity for particularly gruesome ones (although the US seems to have specialised in serial murders)
There have always been pedophiles-always will be but attitudes towards sex change from generation to generation-as in the present ultra-conservative era where every sexual aspect not seen as the "norm" is swept into one catergory.
There has and always will be child abuse-as distinct from child sexual abuse..more kids are damaged mentally and physically then have even been from sex abuse and that's happened for decades.
What we didn't have was tabloids running the show. Politicians used to run the country and the majority out of a sense of civic duty. Now they take their cues from newspaper editors..that's about the only difference I can see.
I expect all that to change though over the next 10 to 20 years (if your NWO doesn't get up).
The internet is the greatest threat to media dominance by a few. Expect attempts to control the net and take it out of the hands of the people..soon.
Your partly right BR..what the last half of the 20th Century and since has been a triumph of advertising and PR over any other value...something Joseph Geobbel's used brilliantly and every politician has since.
ps : I once asked my mother if she could leave her doors open ..during the depression..and she said she used to until vagrants kept walking in and stealing things. |

Only 10 mins IA? What I hate are the ones that grow on the outside edges of the ears. |

Life is what you make it,for some life was better,but for others it was probably worse.
Must have been great to hear your first rock 'n' roll record,and buying your first trendy teddy boy clothes.Can't imagine the same thrill from some sort of dance music,or buying your first hoodie.
The best thing about nostalgia is we were younger,we didn't stand at the bar breathing in,we could see our dangly bits below our belly,the hairs weren't grey,and you didn't spend 10 minutes with tweezers removing fuzz from your ears. |

The biggest load of rubbish I have heard.
In those days you would :
1. Have a sense of community. Compare that with the race riots in the main shopping area of Birmingham yesterday.
2. Kids could play outdoors without supervision because society had not frightened their parents.
3. There were less paedophiles because the internet and major labels had not sexualised children.
4. Pregnancy rates were very low in children.
5. STDs were very low amongst all people.
6. Jobs were given on ability not Political Correctness
7. Footballers were paid a fair wage - instead of ripping off the poor with ridiculous wages ( Compare their wages to Nurses or Farmers or Those who create things we need )
8. Town Centres were not War Zones every Friday and Saturday night as thousands of drunks fill our Police cells and hospitals.
9. People did not need BILLIONS of pounds of anti-depressant drugs. Because they were happy and got on with life.
10. People smiled more and laughed more. Today walk down any street and everyone looks down and often has a blank expression on their faces.
11. The media did not promote FEAR as the main weapon against ALL of us. We were innocent before being proved guilty - so we had justice.
12. Surveillance was a bobby on a bike. Not a camera every 50 feet whirring above our heads following every move we make - with innocent people being watched more than criminals.
Whoever wrote that article need to see Mental Health specialist. They are suffering from extreme delusions.
What a load of rubbish.
PS Finally if you go to hospital now you may die from MRSA or C DIFF. Not what you went in with. |
