God why wasnt I born in the 60s?

The women were all natural. Just natural beauty everywhere! Good music, cars and drugs. People didnt just sit in their houses all the time. If you were bored, you deffinately had to GET OUT of the crib. Making drugs was as much an art form as it was profitable. Therefore, selling your pane was more like selling a painting. Which is just cool as heck in my book man. Im sure there were plenty of down sides the 60s, but I still wish I could have lived through it. I think this was more of a baked rant, but any opinions on the subject matter would be cool. Later.

 

I would totally love to have lived through the sixties!

 

I know how you feel colorful. I have several friends that feel the same way. Just keep the peace and love alive. If we show people that we can live like that we can at least be more peaceful. Living in the Summer of Love would have been amazing.

Love and Peace.

Me too, I totaly agree with you. But we can still live that way, even though that it would be a very hard.

 

Are you on crack?

"The women were all natural." maybe some were, but not all.

The world is what you make of it. If you spend all your time lamenting over the past, of course you'll be disappointed with the present. Ya gotta find what's great with this world, this time, and figure out how to enjoy it.

 

You wouldn't want to have been born IN the sixties though. then you would just be a little kid. you wanna be born late '40's early '50's. Otherwise you would be too young to fully appreciate such things.

I would want to be there to experience a less lethargic, more caring world.

You can tell I've given it too much thought, eh?

 

Not all people sitting in their houses nowadays. Maybe you and the people you know are, so convince eachother to get out and meet others, find cool places. You don't need to be in the sixties for that, there are a lot of people I know who don't live in the past and just go out and have fun.

 

Nicely said. The past also has this tendency to be seen with rose coloured glasses.

But ConArtist does have point about some of the stuff he's touched upon. The fine art of acid-craft is dying out and that's very sad.

Don't be too hard on some of us 'shut ins' though! For some of those shut in's are the Alpha Nerds and it is them that will have a big impact and form the more subversive aspects of the next revolution. Infact, it's even going on right now...

 

Don't say things like that; you sound like a complete moron.

Live for the moment, and for the next.

 

Every decade has its problems. On the flip side of what OP mentioned, there was also an ongoing war which lasted well into early 70s. Civil rights had to be fought for, and it wasn't until 70s that the results of civil rights movement became visible in social life.

I find it amusing (in not a good way) the way some wannabe hippies glorify the 60s as though everything was alright with the world in those 10 years. It reminds of those conservatives who glorify the 50s the same way.

 

i wouldve liked to be my age circa 1955-1968....after that, it just went to hell.

but yes, I wish I was alive to see that time, too. Think about it....to know what we know now, and go back to then??

 

Do you think you could change something if you could go back?

 

i would love to have lived in the sixties. love, peace, freedom and protests-galore...i would have several ferns and name them all after Donovan songs..have kids and name them after Donovan songs...have a VW Microbus and name it after a Donovan song..you know the whole shebang...complete with Donovan.

Going back in time with the everything you know now would probably result in some crazy ass messed up conspiracy. who knows what you would change, I mean sure you would appreciate being there alot more. and I would love to go to the 60s and 70s take a nice "trip" back in time. But not with everything I know now. I would screw everything up.

 

I have always wanted to live in 5,604 a.d. I always feel nostalgic towards that period of time.

Ahh... a man can only dream.

 

hehehe...you are just a ray of sunshine aren't you? I love your witty banter.
Ahh, 5604 AD...just what this world needed and got!
=]

 

5,604 AD...Man, that year was full of shit. 5,605 AD was where it was at. That was the year they reinstated cigarette vending machines.

 

fuck the 60's/70's

the roaring 20's mutha fuckas! Amercia's best decade

 

i totally agree....yes there were good things about the 60's but there was also bad things about them. Same with our generation. but i do love the music, beliefs, and the crazy style that came from the hippie generation.
