1950's in COLOR

Suppose you are referring to color of cars and clothes only and not people color.

Genesis for rest of the world (ie, non caucasion) must have been in 1960s.

I am caucasion btw. Just one who sees world and its inhabitants as 7 billion people strong, and not just those in my neighborhood and bingo nights.

Lots of people missing in your history book.

You can argue about which decade was the best to grow up in,
but at some point, these things either went away, or got much worse:
1. The End of Shame- I'm no prude, but sometime shame
motivates people to be better.
2. Distrust in government - they earned it.
3. Greed -in government, business and in people's hearts.
4. The End of The Golden Rule - why ever to anything to
someone if you would not want it done to yourself?
Most of these started to take root between 1975-1990.

I was born in the 60’s and was lucky to be brought up in a great Michigan city. No crime and is home of Dow Chemical. It was a classic American town of like 35,000. The 60’s and 70’s was great for a sports nut like myself. My favorite decade was the 80’s. I was in my 20’s throughout the decade and it was awesome. Sports, music, movies, Reagan, hot chicks everywhere.

Nah, Woodstock, Roe v Wade, and the likes....Congress, the WH and Courts are flooded by these goobers

Nah, they just fool men better with makeup and surgery.

I was thinking the best time to be a young adult would be in the 1970s. Finding a job would have been far easier - every area of work wouldnt be over saturated with talent.

Rent/mortgage prices would have been affordable.

Plus, most would be alive nowadays with access to excellent health care.

latch key kids are the best!
