LOL...no you didn't you weren't even at woodstock....
oh, you meant the 60s? yes it was all fair play and decency from folks.
We all have our perspective. But I suspect yours is not from hands-on experience.
no it is not, but i would rather not have the hands on experience as oppsoed to being completely delusional about what i had experienced
Your view of those times is mistaken in my view Flashy. We're all "just expressing our opinion" and I recall that time.
and your recollection is rather silly. Crime, subterfuge, dirty dealing, deception, meanness, cruelty, duplicity, lying, dishonesty, were not these random occurrences that came into being in the post-60s era.
maybe you simply did not notice them because there was not wall-to-wall media.
You mention Sharon Tate. I was Europe that year. We also landed on the moon too during that summer. There are nutballs in every era. Chappaquiddick occurred too. That was NOT a summer to be away on the Continent. I heard about it all second-hand. I had a crew cut and wore Oxford shirts.
so then it is true. Landing on the moon had nothing to do with your absurd contention about how wonderful and fair things were. There were murders, crime, duplicity, cruelty etc. it was not some absurd fairytale, and your haircut and what you wore does not change that.
You weren't even an twinkle in your father's eye in 1969 so you know nothing but right-wing heresay.
LOL...leave it to you to go right off topic...
1. I do not listen to the right wing any more than the left wing hearsay anymore than that of the left.
and i am just curious, what exactly does the right wing view of the 60s have to do with the absolute fact that humans have always been deceptive, cruel, vicious and dishonest in every era?
that is not hearsay, nor is it political...that is fact.
one does not need the right wing to tell you there was nastiness, cruelty, crime, murder, intolerance, deceit etc. in the sixties...only you could make this political.
it was a fact of life and has been that way ever since humans began building societies.
only you could interject the right wing into a study of human behavior and bring politics into a thread, immediately, when politics have nothing to do with it.
cue: Goerge W. Bush being brought in to the conversation for some absurd reason.
We all know, crime and dishonesty did not occure in the 60s, since it ewas the Age of Aquarius.
You'll also recall we gay folks finally were able to make a stand and gain long-overdue recognition Flashy. Can anyone say "Stonewall"??
congratulations. how does that change the fact that your absurd contention about fair dealing and lack of deception does not hold water when held up under even the slightest of examinations.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
don't shit on a plate and call it art.

How about the types of things that went unreported because of stigma back in those good old days?
Child Molestation?
Child Abuse?
Spousal Abuse?
Sexual Harrassment?
Date Rape?
Emotional Abuse?
and regular stuff, such as lying, adultery, cheating, prejudice, bullying, addiction, and a raft of other things...
ah yes, but as you said:
"And in retrospect it was a kinder time too. People you approached you'd automatically assume had decency and fairplay as their primary directives.
The world is very different now"
you have a unique gift of spinning off on tangents faster than anyone on this board, especially when confronted with the fallacy of your own rather disturbed and erroneous thought process.
** (I suspect you like the music and the weed that came out of those times however....
) Well that music you revere came from those drugs you cite. Get real.
i see, so weed was invented in the 60s by the counterculture?
fascinating...and here i thought it was a plant that grew on the earth. Little did i know, marijuana was created by the counterculture.
I may have to go and rent Reefer Madness, which was made in 1936, just to make sure that weed came out of the 1960s, and not from the earth, millions of years ago.
this is truly one of your more idiotic ramblings...and that says quite a lot.
and actually, that music, came from the artists, not from the weed...and if it came from the weed, which is older than the sixties, than it came from a plant, not a chronological period.
nice try.
i cannot wait for Gillette and Northland and others to come in and laugh at you as well. You certainly lay out the ammunition for us rather easily.
