Life in the 1950's as certainly far better than the GAY world of today!

[WinterBorn]

Unless you were a racial or religious minority, a woman, homosexual, casual drug user, or a communist.

So basically unless you were a freak or someone who refused to accept their place in Society. Not really sure that's a great argument against the 1950s.

Your comment is not surprising. But, if you will notice, the only people defending people "knowing their place" are the people who think their place is at the top, enjoying all the freedoms and benefits. Want to be on top? Earn it.

It was great to be gay in the 50s

As long as you hid in the shadows

Any time in history was better than today.

The world just gets worse and worse every passing year.

Communist suck no matter where they exist. As for religious minorities, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Mennonites, Presbyterians, Quakers, Amish ---- are all minorities when compared to the Roman Catholics. There are no casual drug users ---- only addicts who don't know it yet. As for women --- they didn't yet realize they didn't want a good husband and children. Now they can date bad boys forever, work all day and die lonely old maids!

even in the 50s, you wouldn't have gotten laid.

Yeah, I would much rather live in this time than in some rose-colored past.

I didn't come around till the wee early '60's but those folks from the 1950's was still around..In society everyone was put into their part to play a role in society....Clothing wasn't optional...And for some reason men were not allowed to cry and women were not allowed to be independent...

Compared to the average salary of today, its still less than half the price.
Take me back!

It was that 90% income tax bracket that sucked.....

I had a girlfriend named "Gay". She was black. Her dad had a 50's something or other Chevy Nomad. I remember being in their house, and watching Grouchos show, "you bet your life" .

Keep posting. If you say the secret word a duck will come down and give you fifty dollars.

Except that I have no interest in Ruling, being part of the power structure or in charge.

I simply want to be able to walk out my doir in the morning to go to my born g, middle class job to support my family without the pervasive stench of immorality abusing my nostrils everywhere I go.

I want to walk into a bank or mechanic shop and know there will be a Man therr to conduct my business with.

Simple, basic, moral human society. Nothing more.

The stench of immorality? LMAO! YOu can smell morality/immorality?

And as for the idea that you want a Man to be there to conduct business with is laughable. If you believe woman are incapable of handling your business, you are more delusional than I thought.

And, once again, the idea that women being excluded from working in banks or mechanic shops, pretty much proves my point.

You ladies certainly had it made back in the fifties.

You got to stay home and live the good life while the old man went out and busted his hump at some shitty job.

If that was what they wanted. Otherwise, tough shit.

It's not a matter of whether they CAN do the job or not. It's about whether they SHOULD be doing that job or not.

Oh, well in that case, I would change my previous post.

YOu are not delusional. You're just a ******* asshole.

And that for proving my point in my original reply to you.

And just as an FYI, you don't get to decide whether they should or shouldn't. That is up to the individual. Its called "Freedom". I know it is hard for people like you to grasp.

But if their hubby was an a-hole they had no choice but to stick with him

...and I always will be.

I get to decide who I do business with. A local jeweler lost a $500 sale last Christmas because hey to not employ a single male salesperson, despite whzt their commercials indicate. Their competitor's equivalent item cost me about $80 more, but I gladly paid it to deal with a salesman, and they will get my business going forward.

I know whst Freedom is... It's the bullet in the Russian Roulette of life. You hope it doesn't kill you but you know if you play long enough it will.

Yes, you get to decide who you do business with. As do the rest of the shoppers.


"It's the bullet in the Russian Roulette of life. You hope it doesn't kill you but you know if you play long enough it"
If this is true, I am happy to spin the cylinder. That you fear freedom is your own issue. I prefer "Russian Roulette" to slavery.

To quote one of our Founding Fathers:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Samuel Adams
