re: What happened to men?

A better question is why we decided it's OK to look and act like shite all the time. Every picture you see of men in the early 19th century they are either suits, button downs, slacks, etc... No matter the situation. Just class everywhere.

Now they looked like this because they came from shite. Then the industrial revolution happened and America became a huge thriving economic world power. And WW1 boosted out status and our egos.

Then the depression and WW2 came along and we realized all of the material stupid bullshite isn't what matters in the world. It's family and friends and your community. Which is a good lesson, however it unfortunately spawned the baby boomers and the hippies.

From them we learned that there is obviously something more important than freedom and love. And that's money. This however turned into the 80s corporate takeover of society. Every aspect was ruled by corporations and greed. Which leads us to the late 90s.

The last time kids were just kids. Technology was a massive bubble but it had not exploded yet. Facebook, cellphones, my space, the Internet, none of that existed and so those of us who grew up in this fantastic period are the one who must grow up now and balance out the world. Because the old people running shite now cannot and will not understand the world their grandchildren are living in and the young people growing up now cannot understand the morals and human decency and work ethic of days before technology.

It is up to our generation to link these two. Past and future. Or the world as we know it will end and these overprivileged, under educated, amoral, cry baby, pieces of shite that make up this next generation will shape the world into some kind of hell.
