[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735673, member: 1550"] I disagree. My mom didn't walk around in a dress. Nobody did. My grandmother either. [RIGHT]Where I live, and it is a smaller city, people say please and thank you and pick things up if somebody drops things and help stranded drivers. Bigger cities aren't like that as much because of sheer volume of people. I love where i live. Everyone waves to and smiles at one another and it is often a race to see who can get to a door to hold it open for somebody. Maybe it's time to move? [/RIGHT] If you lived here, you would like it. You are too pessimistic. Kindness lives on. Your town maybe got bigger and busy. I don't see things being worse. I see them as both worse and much better, depending on the issue. But i like the now. And I don't want to go back to how it was on 50s TV. The cultiral times were reflected. The black folks and other minorities were not even represented on television. Hmmmm. Or Jews. It's not classy in my world to pretend only white Christian's exist. How anyone else was treated, including on TV, was so extremely low class to me. As a kid I used to ask where Jewish people were on television. There were none. And on TV nobody opened doors for blacks or Mexicans or said please and thank you to them. Or Asians. These American citizens did not even exist on classy TV. Or to me bigoted TV where I never saw one Jewish family and I didn't know why. The TV world was white Christian except for I Love Lucy.

Maybe I had a great grandparent team who slept apart but sex was IT in my generation. The 60s and 70s.Our generation.started the sexual revolution.
