We are living in a decade that is eerily similar to the 60s. Everyone is nostalgic for the 50s, 80s & 90s. In the 60s people were just nostalgic for the 50s, maybe 20s too.
Instead of "haight ashbury" we had "occupy" in New York, Oakland and just about every state in America, as well as other countries. So it's an international phenomenon instead of just one street corner. The 60s started at the corner of haight and ashbury in cali.
Instead of acid, marijuana and cocaine slowly becoming nationally illegal drugs, we are slowly working towards finding the correct applications for such things.
Instead of a "mad men" stock rush, there is a bitcoin stock rush.
We have hipsters instead of hippies.
Our guns are being restricted (same as the 60s) we will probably be getting our right to bear arms back though, instead of losing it like we did in the 60s.

History may not repeat itself, but it does tend to rhyme.

I think it is going to straight up repeat itself, except the hipster movement will be 10x as big, and 100x as meaningless as the hippy movement.

Really?
Gas was cheap, and houses were too. Land was even cheaper and you didn't need the building permit that is required now. Managing a business was also much easier, it was easy to find a job, leaving it and finding another one, and there were fewer lawyers. Somehow, life was easier, as there was less government's intervention or regulation, then nobody worried about the future. I watch old movies and I see people living differently from what I see today.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

The Republicans need to quit trying to "reach across the aisle" and work with the Democrats. The Democrats will whine and piss and moan and cry until everything is their way.
The Republicans need to grow some balls and take over and get things back on track like what Reagan did in the 80's.
No marriage for fags, more segregation, stop trying to put new names on everything and politically correct words everywhere you look.
I could go on, but you get the idea.

Yeah I agree. Let's segregate the brain-dead bigots from actual human beings.

And I'm proud of that. I was born in 1970, and grew up in good old fashioned small town America. Where people could walk the streets safely at night, right was right, wrong was wrong, you could tell racial / ethnic jokes and people acknowledged the truth of them, there were far fewer special interest groups to get all offended at every little trivial thing that they don't like, it was a good time, flag waving, rock-n-roll American place to be. Now the communist in the WHITE house is doing his best to change that, and the Democrats are doing all they can too, to get us into the one world government / new world order / shadow government / etc. As for words changing, witness this George Carlin clip from YouTube for the sheer ridiculousness of it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h67k9eEw9AYAs for gay marriage, just because man changes the law does not mean God does. In other words, I believe that gays will burn in hell.

Why is BTCT condoning his statements by leaving them on their site?
Is this forum moderated?
Trust me, you aren't impressing anyone with your bigotry.
Get an education.

I don't think bigotry is against the rules on the forum. I don't agree with him, but I do think that freedom of speech is important.

Back in the 80's, my "bigotry" was called "Proud to be an American". Your responses show how far we have fallen as a country.
The USA, and in fact, the world, is turning into the Mike Judge movie "Idiocracy". I knew it when I saw the movie years ago, and it is happening as we speak.
And you don't have to look far to find it, these so called "reality" tv shows like Duck Dynasty and Swamp People (or whatever those shows about rednecks, swamps, and alligators are called) say it all.
The America I grew up in is going straight to hell in a handbasket.
Muasktak10 - what you call an "education" is the liberals in the modern education system training you to be a good little obedient liberal who goes to work, pays your taxes, and does not complain.

It's quite a stroke of fortune that you weren't born black, gay or intelligent. Mind you, there is a substantial body of evidence to show that the more homophobic individuals in society actually have suppressed homosexual tendencies.

Says the good little liberal worker........ I don't know if I'd consider myself a homophobe, I think that if 2 guys want to go buttslam each other in the ass and them lick each other clean, or if 2 women wanna scissor each other all night long, they can go do it. But I draw the line when they want to be treated like normal people, get married, obtain employment and government benefits a male/female marriage would get, adopt children, and all that. Homosexuality is an abomination before God, no matter what laws mortal men may make or change. And seeing a pair of homos represented as a normal couple in a movie or tv show does not make me happy. Marriage is between a man and woman ONLY, plain and simple. No ifs ands or buts.
