the 70s and 80s were amoral and tasteless

[ginscpy]

but a lot of fun if you were the right age

I got some of the fun of the 70s but whiffefed on the 80s - trying to build "a career:. "

Yep the 80's were amoral with a president who followed astrologers and dealt weapons to an avowed enemy of the USA.

 

[Artevelde]

Ah, the decades of my youth.

70's: atrocious fashions, time of decline

80's: great music, politically exciting times

 

[ginscpy]

I have no great affection for the 70s and 80s - except they were better than the 90s.

The 50s were steady and the 60s were cool.

70s = good

80s = bad

career = good if love career. otherwise, life wasted

I graduated high school and joined the Carter Navy in 1977. I didn't have a great HS experience for various reasons. The early years in the Navy were not terribly good either. Things turned around in the 80s. The music was good, I met my wife, and my two kids were born. Probably the best decade of my life. The 90s were very good and the 2000s have brought great joy and good times.

I am blessed beyond deserving so I work at being a good person. I usually try and put forth the effort needed to be deserving of my dog's loyalty. I'll never get there but it makes me work harder.

Cold War was at a high point during the 80's. Only ended in the 90's.
As for the first decade of this century: those enemies were hardly new.

70s: decade of decline and unrest
80s: decade of fear and loathing
90s: decade of hope and opportunities
00s: decade of war and conflict

60's. Imperial propaganda and brainwashing. Good music.
70's Old hotrods and easy pussy.Hard to make much money.
80's easy to find good work (work NOT a job).Aids ruins all the fun.
90's. Made the bank if paying close attention.
00----- murka loses A and suffers a corporate takeover and enslavement.Brainwashing a proven success.
Teens and forward. Great, if you're headed somewhere else and willing to master both Spanish and Mandarin or Spanish and Portuguese.(unless Terell rides in on the Brown Dwarf in Dec.)
