The 60s

[Emo EMAW]

I'm intrigued! I think I'll DVR it!

the space race one is in a few weeks. excited for that episode.

space race stuff fascinates me. Its like the opposite of southern racism and makes me feel better about people. Like, it was all inspires by primal ape competitiveness, but we can do rough ridin' amazing things when motivated

Some people were pissed about the space stuff.

mrs. dave informed me last night that it was the space race that spurred the huge increase in gov. funding for higher education and grants and loans and stuff

I mean that makes sense since we probably started to value smart people more.

Max yasgur's 600 acre upstate farm has some great 60's memories.

60s cars are just the best. too bad they were designed built and driven by complete racist crap heads 

[Dugout DickStone]

So I watch this show on CNN thursday nights. Last night was the civil rights of the 60s. I knew about a lot of this stuff but man, those interviews of the deep south sheriffs and governors and stuff really make you sad about human beings. It's like a parody TV version of deep south racist pieces of crap but in real life.

Can you imagine the bbs'ing if that was going on

[steve dave]

You can bet your ass gE would have been featured in the documentary

[Dugout DickStone]

FSD would be crazy

YEP. Take a trip to the Cosmosphere in Hutch because their whole museum is dedicated to that fact..

[Headinjun]

also the Vietnam War. what in the actual eff were we thinking?

I posed this question the other night.

After the so called fight in Vietnam to fight off the boogie man fear of the spread of communism, we ended up opening relations to the other granddaddy commie nation China in 72.

This nostalgic crap is bullshit anyway.  All of the rough ridin' 60's sucked, thats why people had to smoke so much dope.  Literally every measurable of life factor is better, today.

Lower-middle class families families in the 50s/60s could afford a house, car(s), and they didn't have to pay for their kid's college education because it was feasible for them to work their way through school. All of that on one income. I'd say that quite a few folks would sign up for that deal right now. That's not nostalgia, that's a robust economy coupled with a very strong currency.

Plus they were able to do as many drugs as they wanted because there wasn't all the bullshit laws back then as opposed to today.  Peace

Deuce the rest of the world was decimated by WWII, that's the only reason. Not worth it

Didn't say it was worth it, just pointing out not everything sucked ass in the 60s.

Every time I meet an old timer and we discuss quail hunting they talk about the 60's and 70's and how awesome it was and it makes me sad for myself for happy for them.

all old people say that everything was amazing when they weren't old. this is pretty basic stuff that has gone on since the very beginning of time. PROTIP: Things have never been as good (on the macro scale) as they are right now.

I dunno, I think the outdoors in general (is that macro level?) was better at sometime in the past than it is now.

I get your sentiment SD but I think its ok to be nostalgic about certain things in the past.

you'd have gotten eaten by a grizzley bear or dinosaur or died of asphyxiation by now at some point in the past. it's better today.

I'm not saying you can't. but being nostalgic about something you never experienced is pretty losery.
