God why wasnt I born in the 60s?

i want to live in the 60's as much as anything. but i know i cant.
i love the people i hang around with now. its not a matter of finding the right age to live in but the people who you hangout with. mine are a bunch of hippies that love to stay at the beach, smoke pot and basically mess around and just love everthing.

this generation is getting pretty lazy. with the whole play station, xbox thing. but not all are like this.

well ive raved on.... but what i mean is love this generation! its awesome and just find a cool crowd of people and make it as 60's as possible. ive done it and ive never had so much fun in my 15 years of life. haha

 

Youre so right! I also think its possible to create ones own 60s. But sometimes I realize that I just imagine to live at this time and then I stop dreaming and that makes me sad.

 

On the one hand the 60s wasn't a bed of roses and 2007 isn't the devil incarnate.

But I will say that the 60s was a much more interesting period for young people of my sensibility. There is no denying that the youth of today is more apolitical, alienated, apathetic, and that they plain have less sex than the youth of the 1960s. In general, that is...

Relativists will say every decade is the same and life is what you make of it...Nostalgics will say the 60s was heaven and the 0's are hell.

There is a more accurate picture in between those two extremes.

 

Because you wern't.That's just the way it is.No real reason why.

 

Q - What does nostalgia have in common with a grammar lesson?
A - You find the past perfect and the present tense.

It's easy for us who missed the sixties to glamorize it. When I was sixteen I used to think I'd have been better off in the sixties. I no longer feel this way.

I think that hippyness was so mainstream in the sixties that the scene attracted a lot of posers - going with the flow but not feeling the ideals with any serious conviction. At least that's my current veiw, I wasn't there (I guess I wasn't then). One nice thing about 2007 is Hippies are so unpopular that most of those you meet are genuine.

It's okay to romanticise the sixties, but romanticise the good bits - love of life and for your fellow human. Don't romanticise the calander date or the sixties politicall climate. I bet the hippies from the sixties whom you idolise would never have wished to be twenty years. Love your life, don't wish it away.

meh life's a bitch
