Interesting Conversation

  1. Hey City,

    So today I go to IKEA with some friends which is an hour ride there, I enjoy doing things like this beause we are all talkers and talk about some really strange things.

    One thing that came up today was my friend making the comment "Life was easier 50-60 years ago", This got me thinking- was it?

    For who was life easier for at this time? Just white people- Black/African Americans were still dicriminated agianst, as well as intolerance towards all foreigners for that matter. Life was simplier for the white MAN, not even woman. Women of all colors had it a lot tougher too just being expected to be a wife and a mother- nothing more.

    Do all white people think things were easier back 50-60 years ago? Was it?

    I'm thinking all times are relative to the people who live in it. Except I think our elderly people have a hard time with all this new technology available. If anything I think people who are in there 80's have it tough- the times they have lived through must be amazing, wars- nuclear threats, technological breakthroughs, medical advances. Some of the things now I think are so beyond what they could ever imagine that it causes confusion with them.


    just some thoughts
     
  2. Well, life was easier back than because of the lack of technology, it made things less stressful i suppose, now-a-days everyone relies on technology, and its gonna be the cause of the worlds down failure.

    The world is slowly going to shit, pollution, war, politics, and any other fucking thing thats driving our economy.

    Soon, there wont be any humans..

    WWIII is gonna be faught with nucs, WWIV is gonna be faught with sticks n stones.

    The world as we know it, will be no more. Give it time and we'll see :)
     
  3. +Rep that dewd!
     
  4. Word.

    Its hard to believe, but we gotta start facing the truth..If we're not prepared, its just gonna ass rape us, and than jiz on us.
     
  5. There will be no nuclear war, everyone saw what that did and nobody is willing to do that to another country. Our world will not be destroyed because of nuclear war, it will be destroyed by the continued arrogance of the people populating this planet.
     
  6. Man, you see how much shit has changed in the past year, its only gonna get worse..

    Sooner or later, another nuc test will happen, and it will lead to WWIII :)
     
  7. Hey

    That is an interesting thought but the world will not end from nuclear war. Its not even the fact that countries are too afraid to do that to another country, but its the fact that if lets say, North Korea nuced us, Britain would nuke North Korea, and so on. There are countries who are all tied to together so North Korea knows that no matter what they did, other countries would respond.

    Currently, North Korea just wants to have nuclear weapons is because the THREAT of having a nuke gives a country power.
     
  8. I think the 60's and 70's was the highlight of humanity. People were so much more easy going and technology was booming. They had the best cars and people smoked openly. People explored themselves with the use of shrooms and LSD. The music was amazing also.

    Now days everyone has depression or anxiety's. Nobody trusts anyone anymore. We're paranoid and there are laws made for everything now controlling what we do. We need weed to break the social barier and racial barriers that we our experiencing right now. Materialism is through the roof and MTV advocates sex to young teens.
     
  9. i think the days when the native americans lived free before the white men came and raped this country were the best of days.they lived in harmony with nature, and they were really intune with their spirituality and it just seemed perfect.then we came..
     

  10. yea except for all the indian wars and shit that went on before we got here.
     
  11. most of those indian wars happened after we got here, we made the indians fight each other so we wouldnt have to..
     
  12. Yeah dude read up on that Native American stuff... they had some pretty awesome ideas.

    Did you know they didn't have any concept of personal possesion? Only communal ownership. So when they brought things to Columbus, he thought they were gifts and ever so gracefully accepted them.

    Also, as you've probably heard, they wasted essentially nothing, something we really need to take a page from. Plus, I'm more likely to believe Paganism than Christianity, just based on the fact that Indians didn't feel the need to travel across the globe for the sole purposes of money and converting people. I think that's how you know you're wrong: you try to tell everyone else they're wrong and always have to have others believe your beliefs.

    And they were peaceful. Very peaceful. Columbus and other early settlers thought they were weird as hell because they didn't have weapons. They didn't know how the Injuns defended themseleves! They didn't need to, that's how.

  13. no man, indians fought themselves long before we got there.

    Although the majority of war fought by the indians were against the early settlers- indians were waging war between themselves for hundreds of years before the white man arrived.

    Yea the indians HAD some good ideas- now-a-days they want fucking casinos
