Has anyone here ever felt that they were born in the wrong time period?

Yesteryear was better,not so many false people running around. Family's were stronger,neighbours,towns,and the country was stronger because folks believed in each other. People would stop if they saw someone stranded,you could let your kids walk along the road without worry,etc...

I kinda wish it was still the 80s,MUCH BETTER TIME!! (In almost every way)

I hate the way the world has become,NO QUALITY,THE CHEAPEST GARBAGE THEY CAN MAKE.... EVERYONE IS OUT FOR $$$ AND THEY DONT CARE ABOUT DOING GOOD ANYMORE....

My question is: HOW MUCH WORSE IS IT GONNA GET??

My problem is I am living in the wrong time period.  I was born in tne
late 1930's and graduated HS in 1957.  For me, the world as it directly
affected ME was a much better place then. My $.02, IMHO !!!!

The world IS what you make it, it's not just a saying, once you figure that out, your home free.

Everybodies best time is when they were kids at home being taken care of, or just out of home when the world is their oyster. So in a way that will usually be their fondest time.

, born in the wrong time  is B/S  for me ,  just wish I was born again ,
nostalgia for the good ole days is just that,  a time past , school was repressive , ( no freedom of thought, ) girls that said no unless marriage ,  no internet , candy rationing,
whipped monthly at school , so tell me , what was so good about the old days ?
apart from the future ? ,

You can exclude me out of that one as well, my best times are now, and yet to come. How can you say " being taken care of  " is someone's best time, it's the exact opposite, making something of yourself, and becoming something more , is much more fulfilling then that.

honestly if the world was still as careless as it seems as is was in the 50's....like the movie American Graffiti.....omg greatest movie ever....and that time period had the best music.  IM SO JEALOUS

finally got it...i think this is so cute...

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk!-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

[Conuck]

I approve that post! Couldn't of said it any better my self.

[EWO]

Great Post momma t   

[tommie gorman]

Thats a good one. 

[Roco]

not careless...carefree...

Maybe ? we are now better informed ?
But hell , Tdawnaz's  post stoped me in my tracks I was born in the mid 40's and OK over here in the UK , we had F**K all in the 50's , but as a kid the saying "I am bored was unknown " we dug up bits of bombs and shells and exchanged them at school,for other shells etc ,
we played in bomb craters as our fort ,
Girls were from a diferent planet , but free to join in , but were relegated to being nurses LOL , ( no wonder I have a thing about nurses uniforms lol:, )

good inocent days , but I still apreciate today ,
now older and hopefully wiser ,
so for me Tdawnaz's  post is  ,  ...... ,

[Dude111]

but some still care...look at u

Damn right I care buddy!

IM SICK OF THE GARBAGE IN THE WORLD NOW,IM SICK OF GOOD FOOD I REMEMBER BEING REPLACED WITH "HEALTHY" GARBAGE THAT TASTES LIKE CRAP!!!!!!

I truly hate whats happend since the late 80s,A SLOW DECLINE OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

The world IS what you make it, it's not just a saying, once you figure that out, your home free.

Im sorry to disagree buddy but when there is NOTHING BUT GARBAGE LEFT,how are you supposed to make it better again??

You cant (Not easily anyway)

[mudmanc4]

dude, your in a place I was in, maybe i still am I don't know. But i tell you what , 4 years later , I would think you might have come out of it.

Look , stop looking at the bad , it sucks us in. Easy for me to say yes ? True, but it is true. The more we listen to people telling us all the terrible things that are going on , and people saying how things cannot be changed , the more we start believing that shit.

It's a lie !!!!! Nothing more , nothing less.

We do not need to collectively be something in order to be something on our own , individually. And them more we choose to be ourselves , the better things look to us , others see and feel , as well as experience the good , and the better they feel.

This thing that everything is hopeless is tripe , pure unadulterated bullshit in so many ways. And intentionally being done. So rise above it, accept there are dick heads in this life , and those that choose to try and manipulate others.

[Dude111]

But that doesnt change the fact that we are left with garbage when WE USED TO HAVE BETTER!! -- It gets to you WHEN EVERYTHING YOU LOVED IT REPLACED WITH CHEAP CRAP YOU DONT LIKE........

[mudmanc4]

Sounds as if you should consider taking one of these junky blobs of trash we see everywhere , and figuring out how to make it better , improve it and get something together in the US to manufacture it.

Thats what each one of us should be doing , those of us with that type of intuition to do so.

Pick something , something reasonably small and inexpensive , something that really irks you that it isn't made in the USA , that should be , post it here . If I can come up with an idea I will , someone else toss in a few idea's and lets see what we can do. I'll do what I can , whatever i can to facilitate it.

This is what we should be doing , gathering together and making the change, it's not going to happen any other way, there is no other way. The longer we sit and do nothing , the worse it will get, and we've sat long enough, hell I'm game , lets come up with something !!!!!!
