[QUOTE=thisispain;15924963]hey that's pretty honest[/QUOTE] I don't know if I should take that as a compliment, or a direct insult. I'll do both! [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-haw.gif[/img]

I totally agree, that past was much better. [b]Better Bands(members still alive)[/b] The Beatles(John lennon and lets not forget george harrison) Bob Marley Jimmi Hendrix What I would give to see one of these perform live. [b]Better people[/b] People are generally friendlier from the past. Rarely was there sex offenders Safer neighborhoods Everybody in town knows each other [b]Cool stuff I wish we still had[/b] milk man(who doesn't want to hop in with the coolest bloke to get free lifts across town?) Rotary phones zeppelins saturday morning cartoons the whole look(sportcoat with a hat) I wish I could live in neighborhoods like chicago heights and oak park in the past before all the gangsters of now infiltrated. To a more pleasant time. Did I forget, [b]better cars![/b]
The past seems better through our eyes because they had different problems back then, I am glad that we live in the present because I have an addiction to the computer and internet, so I could not be easily separated from it. But I agree, people were much friendlier, and the music was better. I remember Cartoon network Saturday cartoons, I wish we still had them the old fashioned way as well.
i agree with you one hundred percent. what's with all these fagtastic gangters? they aren't cool, they're lame. now be honest, how much do we get to see a guy in a trench coat with a cigar in his mouth holding a tommy gun anymore? NEVER! and it would be the shit if pirates weren't so gay, gosh, if i could just here 'aye matey' in real life....not to mention the people we fought our wars with were much more civil, i mean that in the respect that they didn't live in a shithole hut, but rather a nice house with a nice view. i guess you could say this is ranting, but i totally agree with the OP. oh, and before i forget, weapons, old weapons are so much cooler then the weapons we have today. i'd rather use a garand then a m16 any day.

During that time it felt like absolutely nothing could stop the United States and her allies.

[QUOTE=ray243;15903138]Am I the only one who find the past better than the present? Today, you see ugly gangsters with tattoos everywhere, but in the past you had fine gentlemen who wear suits. And hearing from those past stories my dad or grandparents told me seems to make me think that the past is better. And because people last time had to do more work because they lacked in technology, unlike today, we are just lazy arse sitting on our coms looking at facepunch and pressing F5 constantly.(admit it, you are one of them.) And music in the past seems better than today. Or I just prefer those 40s/70s songs compared to today's heavy metal. Anyone else had this feeling?[/QUOTE] al capone wore fine "gentlemanly" suits. and beat peoples heads in with a baseball bat. and I believe that netty also wore suits. the apparel may change but it's all the same. and there's more to modern music than metal. like electronic and its subgenres.
Strange, on page 1, people seems to disagree with me. But more people agreed on page 2.

He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future.
Bollocks it's a bumped thread.
In past we had diseases without cure, horrible wars, black people as slaves and treated as an object, tool, bad things happen to people by church... I'll stick with present, though the music industry is terrible.

Past was better, present is shit, and future.... i predict more unorganized shit
Oh yes the 1950's when everyone pretended that nothing was fundamentally wrong with society and life and just loved that good old conformity oh yes what a wonderful decade. [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] Gray flannel suits and telling your woman to stay in the kitchen don't interest you? Then try some paranoia brought to you by McCarthy inc, fine purveyors of bullshit across the country.
