I gotta admit having been a young kid in the 1980s it was a very cool time.  In fact I think the 80s was one of the coolest times to grow up in as a kid.  It was the last decade before everything became so fucking politically correct and pussified.  I couldn't imagine being a young kid nowadays.  Fucking pathetic the environment kids are growing up in nowadays.  When I was a kid we still played tag and rough housed at recess and teased the girls and made them cry.

Gripe all you want about how the world is going to hell in a handbasket but today is pretty good by comparison.  Ya plenty of people are still hurting but we've got the broadest benevolent government for the greatest percentage of the planet's population, along with a decent quality and length of life, than at any time in history.  Pick any past era and you've got to include the caveat "...as long as I'm not one of the many peons."

Not that I think we're making great decisions or anything.  If we're not careful, this might be remembered as The Good Time.

So what if we have an increased length of life.  Most people living till their 80s and 90s are wrought with chronic health problems that make the last years of their lives miserable.  I'd rather burn out than fade away .

Most surveys show that older people are actually happier, even though they are old wrinked and disgusting to look at.

Quality of life is clearly better today than in the past for the common man.

That's your opinion bro.  Sorry I'd rather live like Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall.

Lol of course because being young is so shitty with work. I'd rather die younger and have less stress and bullshit to deal with.

Ha! Lifespan was - what? - at most, 28? Or, until your teeth fell out, and you couldn't feed yourself.   

That dependant on where you weere there was no sugar or sweets really until well after agriculture. If you had a good terrirtory hunting all day was fucking sweet, you'd make it to about 55, but you'd already have grandkids, by then, instaed of now where your luck to have kids in high school.

 The 1990's was pretty fucking good. Sure was a lot better than today.

The 1980s were the best time for most. If you have money, now.

I was a child a decade earlier, but this statement still applies.

I see very few kids outside these days as most are glued to their electronics indoors.

My thoughts are the computer has basically caused everyone on a mass level to tune out of everyday life in terms of diet fitness etc.
