I am also an atheist & I am Canadian, not American, thank god...lol -
@Ann1944 I'm white and I live in Europe. I'm not offended.
What I meant with my post is that things weren't always better before.
Even for white women life wasn't easier in the 60s or 70s, as some advertisement posters remind us.
Civil rights have been fought for and won during your lifetime. And that's great. However what feels worse now is that those conquered rights are being set back again. Today people don't get arrested for not giving up their seat. Not yet.@s1m0n4
I totally agree with you. I was born in England in 1944. Born in a bombing raid. Then moved to Canada with my mom & dad, who was a Canadian soldier. -
I am 82 years old.
I have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, the Turmoil of 1968, Watergate, the Hostage Crisis, two oil crisis, disco, Reaganomics, 9/11.
The covid pandemic....
These past 11 months have been easily the most miserable era in America in my lifetime.
The hatred, the bigotry, the lies, the racketeering and pedophilia are beyond anything I have ever seen.
We are not going to hell as a nation.
We are IN hell.@Ann1944 I wish I would have lived through the disco era.

Ah, disco
The one bright spot in our history! -
@Ann1944 Well, the verdict is still out for Trump vs. disco.
@stevefelten @Ann1944 -disco sucks. I still prefer music that can be played in a drunken kitchen; however, most of the records burnt at events like the notoriuos MLB game where tens of thousands records were trashed, were soul and R+B. And not white rock and roll. Just good old cultural music hatred; hated like early rock 'n roll "elvis hips"or early hip hop "pissing on the stairs like they just don't care". Not disco, but different. Hope is aliens arrive so all can unite in their hatred.

We are IN hell.@Ann1944 @peteriskrisjanis What shocks and saddens me most — even as folks watch the world going to sh*** around them, still no one dares to say even a word in a BUSINESS setting. Teams calls are still all jokes, getting the next objectives met, etc. But politics? Oh no, do not dare bringing THAT up!

@Ann1944 But disco though...
@ApostateEnglishman @Ann1944 there’s a lot of great disco music and I’ll die on that hill.

@lerxst @Ann1944 I was surprised - although not particularly surprised, as once you hear it you can't unhear it! - that a lot of Dave Grohl's drumming in his Nirvana days was inspired by disco beats. So there's that...
Anyway, it was more the sheer incongruence of the inclusion of "disco" in a list of truly awful things, that led to my joke. Of course there's a lot of great disco music. I mean if Le Freak by Chic doesn't make you wanna put on some oversized shades and start moving, what will?!

@ApostateEnglishman @Ann1944 the first LP I bought with my own money was the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” soundtrack. The first 8-track I bought with my own money was “C’est Chic”. Nile Rodgers is a legend and one of my all-time favorite guitarists.

@Ann1944 disco. bahaha
Yeah... sad to see you give disco a bad name, but otherwise on point with no objections

@Ulrich_the_elder
I also live in Canada. My Dad was Canadian, my Mom a British war bride. I was born during one of Germany's bombing raids.@Ann1944 My dad came from England in 1919 and my mom was a french/cree woman.

@Ann1944 You forgot big oil, industrial farming, fast food, increasing poverty, and … global warming. Yeah, I think you are right.

We are IN hell.@Ann1944 All to aid those who ALREADY have obscenely far too much wealth and power.
None of these greedy bastards ever seen to stop and see all this. And to see and understand even a little what chronic poverty for others might feel like.

@Ann1944 Let me tell you man i went to church today with my family and the hate from some people in church is outrageous. What is the reason people go to church???? To learn about God peace and love but this church people full of hate and why are you here among us. We sold our house few years ago and we use to go to the church in our way and now we are one hour away so we decided to go to the church near us about 1 mile but that was a serious mistake. Not 2 or 3 people but a number of them.
which seems to be fascist in your country. I feel for all thinking people in your living hell.
