RE: Ah....the Good Old Days. Wait, What Good Old Days?

in #history7 years ago

That was pretty much my point. I wasn't trying to say nothing good happened in the earlier generations, just that there was no idyllic time as some suggest. They all had bad and even now there are many great things. I would be screwed living with my diseases in the 70's because now medical advancements have gotten to a point where I can be treated but back then there was no treatment for my suffering. So, there are reasons I am bad to be in this decade even though it may not be my favorite.

I'm only about to be 30 but even I prefer the 90's for many reasons to right now but I'd again be screwed medically back then. So, there are pros and cons. :)

I've been around a couple of decades more than you, and I can verify that each decade had its good and its bad... but I do believe everything is getting progressively better overall. This is a bloody great time to be alive.
