Birth decade.

[Dogman]

Just looked at the thread about soviet propaganda and that got me thinking (scarey) some on this forum are very opinionated about many things. Which is a good thing for sure, but who here actually has lived in the times that those opinions they are referring about and were formed? (and not just read or heard about)

Myself I was hatched in 1951. And have seen a bunch of changes in our society here, and most of them bad. (but some cool) I had to go live and go trough and had nightmares during the duck and cover days. Thunderstorms used to set me off and would have me thinking the bombs were going off. (at night)

Do you dare sound off?
u
;D

I do know we have a clutch of "super paranoid" types here that is why I am only asking for the decade.

I think most are a bunch of young "bucks".


Some here I do not expect any response.

I was born in 78, so I remember the cold war pretty vividly. The Russians were bad bad bad, and communism was evil (1980's). 1990's hit the information age is born, Russia isn't bad anymore and anyone can be a multimillionaire with an idea for a website or product. 2000's hit global commerce skids, greenspan drops rates, launches the housing bubble just after the dotcom bubble burst. I wake up in 07, find GIM, censor certain speech in favor of a particular tribe and so I'm here at GSUS.

That's it in a nutshell lol

Being brought up in the 50's and 60's most here do not have a clue unless they went through the same. Major paranoia was the rule and not the exception, by the 80's it was more of a cake walk.


I think what you refer to as far as censor, it may be more of a "generation" thing. Because some have lived during some of those times , compared to others that came later and did not.


Most here will not touch this They are happy in their bigotry.

[woodman]

I was born in the 50's. All I can say is that we have all been fed lies. Lies and more lies. The history we learned was bullshit. The reasons for all the wars were bullshit. The bullshit is so deep that it is useless to try to ferret out any semblance of order or reason in what we thought we knew growing up. The cold war was bullshit. It was all just a protection racket. Competing organised crime outfits, willing to go head to head in order to convince the proles that they were in danger and needed to work hard and pay taxes. None of it was really what we thought though. They are all just a pride of lions feeding off the same kill (us) and any fighting is just for show or petty squabbling over a particularly sweet part of the carcass.

I'm an 89 baby

So my 18 years of education consisted of Anne Frank, writing in cursive, and slavery

I was a Bill O'Reilly patriotard until I woke up around 11th grade back in 06

[Sparky]

Dog, I am a "Tweener" born at the very tail of the boomer years during the transition to GenX (1959-1964). As such, I have vague recollections of a lot of boomer stuff, but was too young to really "experience" them because I had no context. I vaguely remember something about a "duck and cover" drill in first grade, maybe one time. The paranoia era was just coming to a close. We used to have a siren near our house that I was told was there to warn of an attack or emergency. It was taken down around 1965 or so.

The first political stuff that I was really old enough to fully experience was Watergate, but even then I did not really appreciate the gravity. I will tell you, though, that I do remember the new feeling of cynicism and political distrust that the country developed during and after after Watergate, and through the rest of the 1970s recession. This feeling replaced the Red Scare paranoia of the mid-1950s.

Dogman you're just another shit bird like EE. Just clearing the air before I leave. Which might take 9 months, so put you flame suit on you worthless cunt. :)

And I love you also, may your dog not get over excited and de-nut you, tho maybe that would be a good thing, but bad for the dog. Tho the world probably would be a better place if you can not breed.

Wish you well where you are going. Tho I think they will be less forgiving than here (usa) about your viewpoints. As much as you hate this country, we do have rights that you will not have where you are going.

Unless one lives it or is part of it. It is amazing how the young bucks that come later, have not a real clue. On what was reality of the time.

And what in the hell does EE have anything to do with the topic of this thread!

Sorry

unless you lived the times up close and personal, you are punk! or at minimum less than.

Go get a room with your homi manges and both of you not reproduce.

And sweetheart I do not need a flame suit dealing with the likes of you or your friends. Be careful when you make it to Europe. Your viewpoints will put you in a small room made of steel and concreat quicker than in the USA.

When are you going, I want to send flowers and balloons, saying do not come back! ;D

Edit: People in Europe are a tad touchy, because they experienced directly the love of the Germans and the viewpoints you embrace. And it will take a few more years for them to get over it , if ever!

Look closely and you probably will see some bullet holes, from the good times! You will meet people that lived and survived it, tho they are getting up in age, and not all were jews by far.

I hope some there will rub your face into the reality of what went on that now you deny.

But I do think you are beyond hope. So the best thing would be for your dog to de-nut you! ;D

No duck & cover for me, only run & hide.

My first political memories are cheering for Reagan's win, and my stepfather telling me I would end up in a war with him in office.

I ended up in fighting against Nancy in her war :)

And general be sure to report to us all the homi shit you have to go through. and how tough it is, and how controled they will be when you start spouting your shit.

I give you less than 6 months before you will want to crawl back to this country that you hate so much.

Like other ass hats , as much as we do not like what is going on here, we do have the most freedom of expression and speech compared to any other country in the world.



and that does piss me off , when ass hats compalin about how bad hey have it here.

Try surviving elsewhere. and see if they give a shit!

[Dogman]

We all have shit to go through or live in.

I could post but i do not all the minor bullshit, but you dud are a attention whore.

so bend over and take it,

Go to Europe and do your mother right, but when she is gone, do not come back to this place you hate!

Funny abt that no mater where you are in the world , this country that some like to hate, has more freedom than any other country in the dam world.

And please take some other ass hats that do not have a clue like you away from here.

[woodman]

Why is it that I get a dim idea that this thread is somehow about the holocaust 'theory'? If the holohoax happened, why do they have to protect the 'truth' with prison? And for those who say that this country is great and free, why is it that we have more people per capita in prison than any other nation on Earth? If this country is so great, why are we overseas killing people who have done nothing to us? Lots of questions. Saying this country is a great and free nation is like comparing rapists to one another. "My rapist is kinder and gentler than your rapist." A rapist is a rapist, plain and simple. Our government is raping this Earth. It is raping our freedoms. It is raping the truth. A people tend to be classed along with the government that has overrun and enslaved them. Thus it is with the Germans who are an intelligent, proud, attractive and productive bunch. They had a bad government just as we do. Germany suffered far more than any other nation in that terrible struggle known as world war 2. The destruction of Germany and her people, for that is what a nation is, was a terrible crime. Then those who perpetrated the crime, turned around and complained bitterly for the very destruction of thier own people that they themselves caused by destroying supply lines and starving the populace. They made up a fairy tale that they promulgate through lies, lies protected by the threat of imprisonment. These very same people are now in charge of the fate of Almerica, at least until Americans wake up en-masse and realize the lies they have been living under. This is not likely to happen because as we can see, even those on this board who have been shown the truth, refuse to accept that they have been fed lies.

I was in the 6th grade, when the teacher (his last name was Kennedy) got called in on the school intercom, he came back crying, because president Kennedy got shot, in some ways I am still ashamed that that happened in my state .

You are in some ways off track when it comes to this thread. But

the major mistake the german people did in the 30's and 40's was to believe and totally buy into the shit their gov was spouting.

I started this thread for real using the line of thought of being born in the early 1950's and the changes this country went through. Hell I was young but McCarthyism was still alive and well as some of my first thoughts that are part of my first memory's that I still have.


Then the little prick, (god) jumped in and spouted his crap, so I just had to set him straight as far as my opinion of him goes.

This thread was started as being as honest about the times that a real person growing up in those times. So I asked the members on this forum in a very broad way when they were born. Some have openions that they may have inherited but did not directly experience.

And others did live the times.

Other than that piece of wining shit, that seems to post about himself when ever he gets a hang nail, unlike others that suck it up and do not say a word.

Not all here are attention whores, some here are real people, men and a couple of great women that takes no shit! (one in particular) that are goddess because of what they are doing and how they are doing it. (life)


So Woodman this is a mixed bag of a thread, but only because of a does not count for even a tiny shit had to chime in, and spout irrelevant shit that had not a thing that relates to the intent of this thread.



What decade were you born in Wood man?

And others that read this, what decade were you all hatched?

Dog, I am a "Tweener" born at the very tail of the boomer years during the transition to GenX (1959-1964). As such, I have vague recollections of a lot of boomer stuff, but was too young to really "experience" them because I had no context. I vaguely remember something about a "duck and cover" drill in first grade, maybe one time. The paranoia era was just coming to a close.

This feeling replaced the Red Scare paranoia of the mid-1950s.

Watergate was a major turning point for many at the time, when it came to trusting the government. The tricky dick helped many lose trust in our government.

Before Watergate, people in general had major trust that the gov was looking after their best intrusts. But for many after it was a kinda "we are not in Kansans anymore" thing.

He was still the president when I was in the air force stationed at Ubon Thailand bombing the holy hell out of north Vietnam.

Good times!

;D

That was also the time of the first gas shortage thingy,

I was able before able to buy a 20 stick bundle of (Thai) weed for one dollar. but then the gas/economy thing hit and the price went up to 2 dollars for 20 sticks.

Tho finding a gal to tealock with you the price stayed pretty much the same.

I was born in the 80's, but grew up a 90's kid. Like AndreaGail, I was a conservative patriotard until waking up in the mid 2000's. After 9/11 I got filled with "righteous anger" and tried to join the army to "serve my country" and fight the moslems, but THANK GOD my recruitment was denied due to a broken foot I suffered in high school.

I am an avid Coast to Coast AM listener, and in '06 he had a guest on who talked about G. Edward Griffin's book on the Federal Reserve, I bought the book and that was the beginning of my waking up. Found GIM in '06 as well, and consider my education there more valuable than a college degree.

But u do have promise!

Hell I went full blown hippy starting while I was still in the air force.... now that was an interesting grin at the time.

I have finally evolved into a I do not care what you do as long as you do not effect or bother others kind of person but if you do it will be a holy war until (i am not religious) the problem is resolved.

But you are still

[Neuro]

I was born in 68, of course no recollection of the Viet Nam war, but I went there in 92, ended up stranded there with no cash, but flight ticket back to Sweden 3 weeks later, I ended up renting a non airconditioned room at a hotel in Saigon renting air conditioned rooms by the hour, mostly to Vietnamese girls together with Chinese Taiwanese businessmen, and paying $5 /day, after that expense I had like $20 to live on for the three weeks I was there, I ended up teaching English for food to a few families, and had a great experience. I would say it was the first time in my life that I came closest to experiencing free market economy, and I ended up meeting lots of interesting people, a halfbred of French aristocracy trying to make a living as a painter, a guide who used to work as a translator for American troops in the early 70's, lots of prostitutes. A beautiful woman from Hue in her late 30's making a living for her family running a small roadside cafe. A rickshaw bicyclist who took me to the museum of American war atrocities. A woman running the Apocalypse Now bar, which had a fridge, serving beers cooled not by ice smashed on the street but by a fridge, who said she was the girlfriend of a famous Pulitzer prize winning American war photographer, whose name I have forgotten. I learned how to say I am not Russian in Vietnamese "Khaum phai Lien Xo" because the Russians were hated, not the Americans, but I guess the war atrocities didn't affect Saigon much. It changed my world view quite a lot cause I grew up admiring Reagan, cheering his election contrary to most socialist Swedes, 12 years old. Around the same time I got into gold, cause my socialist grandfather bought one stock of a Gold Mine in Sweden, and I invested my 100 Krona's of hard earned cash (cutting grass, hedges, swatting flies, running errands etc.) to have a 1/3 share of that gold mine share. Cause he had read in the socialist newspaper, he read daily, a couple of days before that gold was the investment of a life time. The day after we bought the stock it went up from 360 to 390 SEK, and I was so thrilled of becoming rich, the next day it plummeted down to 330 (just a temporary pullback), and then it continued down from that, never reaching the heights it was before. He sold the share a couple of years later disappointed with his capitalist experiment, I think he got around 100 SEK for it when he sold it, and he gave me that, which I objected to, cause it wasn't my fair share, but being a socialist and probably pressured by my grandmother, rest her soul, he thought he had taken advantage of me, by luring me in to these devious investments. Anyway there was no way he would back down, so I took the money...
