Question

Before the 60s and 70s life was good now it is bad cause of the liberals you agree?

Answer 1

It's ALL about personal responsibility! Something we all need to be reminded of!!!

Answer 2

Before the 60's and 70's, politics was ruled by predominantly conservative ideas. In my opinion that is a bad thing because threre was only one side to every argument. I think it's great that all things are now considered before decisions are set in stone. Personally, I am a liberal. I am not a bad person. We don't all share the same values. But I still respect other peoples' opinions that differ from my own. Perhaps you will consider giving that a go.

Answer 3

As one who was born in the early 1940's - as a female.... I can tell you life wasn't that good.  Women and minorities were second class citizens who had no independent rights.  Women were expected to yield to men in all aspects of her life.  In the marriage, she had no rights at all...and, in many cases, not even the right of inheritance.

Blacks and other minorities had no civil rights, could not attend "white" schools or eat in "white" eating establishments.  Many were not permitted to vote.

Thank goodness for the 60's and 70's when the young people (and others) in our nation said "that's enough"...and started insisting on freedom for ALL people, not just middle-aged white men.

Answer 4

no

every era had its problems - ours is loss of freedom and invading other countries and destroying natural resources, air and water - hardly a liberal goal or concept.

Answer 5

Sure it was really good if you were a white male.  For everyone else, not so much.

Answer 6

Things in this world consantly change, it's just life it moves forward. It's every bodies fault. Not just one sided.

Answer 7

WWI, Great Depression, WWII, Korea. Just peaches N cream!

Answer 8

It is bad because of our huge government. Liberals love huge government. So, yeah pretty much. But don't forget, 3/4 of the republicans are liberals too.

Answer 9

Do you honestly think life is all that bad today?

The Leave it to Beaver life was a pipe dream and we must go on and advance.

I really don't think politics come into play here.

Answer 10

No.  We've advanced a lot technologically and are a more just society.

Answer 12

You lost sight of history.  

Yes, life was wonderful in the 50's and 60's.  America was booming and people elected to office had been thru a life changing event.  World War 2.  They actually cared about America and American values.

America was booming because we had bombed the infrastructure of countries who could compete with us into dust.  

It's taken those countries a long time but they have recovered.

I don't know if there is a way for the US to return to the days of prosperity.  Our government seems to be sold on the globalization of our economy.

I don't know what my opinion is worth but I'll express it anyway: Things are going to get a lot worse for Americans.  The times they are a changing and we are too divided to stand against this onslaught to our way of life.  There are alternatives but they are not in the best interests of corporate America and Wall Street.

Answer 13

Actually, the 60's resulted in some changes long overdue for the U.S.  They were not won easily.  They were historic times for our country and the advancements they made in human rights.

Although the 50's seemed so clean and peaceful, there were blacks being murdered and seriously mistreated in the south.  Women lived under the thumb of serious double standards imposed by men.  Its fun to watch Leave It To Beaver and Father Knows Best and think that it is really the way it was, but much was swept under the rug in our society.

It was a society filled with hypocrisy.  Maybe you had to be there to appreciate the whole thing.

Answer 14

You write like you're six-years-old!  Were you even alive in the 60s and the 70s?  Were you even alive in the 80s for that matter?

Yeah... us liberals were horrible back then.  What, with all of our wanting to get blacks the same rights as white people and all... that was inhuman of us.

It was fun playing with you though!  Thanks for the laugh!  Nothing like a right-winger with the IQ of a child to provide a good debate!
