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 yes indeed!

We are IN hell.@Ann1944 it's interesting and true when you say this is the most miserable in america. But the situations the usa has created elsewhere in the past can be a good bit worse...
If you describe the situation within the USA now as hell, I'm thinking about how it was/is in viet nam, in cambodia, in palestine, iraq, etc. Not even talking about the colonies yet. The usa has been creating hell on earth, but foremost, elsewhere.

@Ann1944 I don't intend to argue about how bad things are now, however segregation in the US lasted until the 1960s an beyond.
You were 11 years old when Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white person on the bus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycottMaybe things have never been this bad for the white population in the USA.
@s1m0n4
Segregation is still going on now. I am against all the hatred in the world. I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, right across from Detroit. I remember when the whole city was torn apart with Whites against Blacks. We are all equal in my mind, but I realize your people have suffered & did not mean to offend you. What is going on in the States right now is because the white population is afraid they are losing the upper hand & the white supremists are doing everything to keep what they consider their right to be at the top of the totem pole. Please accept my apology if I offended you, -

We are IN hell.And it is all due to one con man, his lies, his manipulation, his narcissistic perversion and his Republican followers that this came to be.
Triggered by the internal neoliberal capitalist rot that made few ultrarich much to influential.
The resemblance with the 1930s is striking in a distorted, perverted way.
The question is, how to change this unconstitutional and undemocratic aberration… he and his yes men need to be held accountable, or it simply might happen again.

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. -
@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.

@stevefelten
Sorry about the dico your right, it doesn't belong on this list. Blame it on my 81 years. lol@Ann1944 @stevefelten no no that was funny - and we needed the laugh.
Also, the flipside is that we woke up to a lot that has been going on all this time. The pedophilia. Reaganomics. AIDS. Cigarettes. The Climate.
Now we know better, and that makes me feel better than not knowing shit.

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. -

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?!
which seems to be fascist in your country. I feel for all thinking people in your living hell.
