Back then...

Why can't we go back to a simpler time?
A time when people were actually nice to each other
A time when people didn't show cleavage in their attire; it's what's inside that's matters, not outside. Beauty is only skin deep.
A time when people actually care about each other and not make judgments about each other, whether its about their attitude or 'fashion sense.'
A time when people have more face-to-face contact or they write letters to each other or at least they talk to each other
Now anything goes...
People just fight over the simplest of thingsPeople worry way too much about their body image-they become obssessed with it, they've turned anorexic or bulimic; everything about themselves is totally and completely fake; nothing is real anymore since they do plastic surgery 10x over
Why do have people care about each other 'fashion sense' (or lack thereof)-it's so superficial; they should worry about what kind person they are: personality, talent, etc.
Now all people want to do is communicate with each other via computer gadets online (email, text, online chat rooms) and through their so-called networking sites (MySpace, Facebook


'Course that's just the plus side of things way back when.
The negative side are numerous:
Let me count the ways:
1) Thanks to suffragists, women were given the right to vote in 1920
2) Civil right movemeent began in the '60s
3) Chinese Exclusion Act of 1800s, which the Chinese to be relocated and not allowed to enter the   State    Japanesese were sent to concentration camps in the States during WWII; also every other race that's not black was segregated or stereotyped. (KKK wanted the African American's heads in the form of lynching)
So not everything way back then was rosy but Hollywood sure as hell made it seem rosy!
