Why weren't you alive in the 70's?

I can't even imagine how fast things changed for him. In all aspects of life. Starting from gas prices all the wsy up to nigger problems

hes gen z you fucking retard

I was a kid during the 70s. The few memories of what I saw around me were comfy af.
Would've loved to experience it as an adult

Fuck you boomer apologist

At least we have this place now

t. salty millennial who will never know how great America was.

We can reasonably assume he was born 1959 or 1960, baby boomers are '45-'65

>you can't post here if you're under 18

Senior in high school in 77 would mean he was born in 59 dipshit

using proxies to pretend people were hooked by your bait post

pretty pathetic lmao

I had this to a degree growing up in ritual central Illinois in the 90s with good parents in a decent neighborhood, but I see where you’re coming from. It’s becoming less and less common to live the good life. Gen Z and their progeny are legit fucked and they don’t even realize it yet.

Back in the days when the U.S wasn't sterile and boring. Yes there were issues back then but it was a growing, fun country.

Now it's dead, low fertility rates, no gdp growth and people at their smartphones.

Definitely not Gen Z but thanks for trying.

It's been fun. Now I just surf on the internet, golf, and travel. Money in the bank is nice but the 70's were far better.

We still had our problems in the 70's. Gas rationing sucked but since I was a student, I didn't really rely on my car that much.

Not at all, but what good is it reminiscing about comfy times when pic related is outside your window?

Despite the issues, there was always a sense of growth. Eg: Times may be tough right now but things will get better in the future.

Ever since the economy crashed in 2008 it feels like if there is no hope and all forward looking indicators look like crap.

>Jow Forums, I know I'm old now but, trust me when I say this, the 1970's were the best time to be alive.

Fuck off boomer scum. You're responsible for the shitty world we currently live in.

You kids were the one who embraced social just warrior stuff whole hog. It wasn't our generation. The only time we heard about homosexuals were in the movies.

in the 70s my family was in jail for protesting communists

In the 70's my family was killing commies.

"Were" is plural. "Was" is singular.

I guess the public schools aren't so bad after all.

Yes, but we needs to wait till the President(s) announce a civil war, or it's to the ZOG prison system or chilling with Dorner if we go outside of minecraft. Beyond photography in a public place to record this Weimar moment, what can a man do?

I see your point. Carry on user

Nice LARP OP, I bet your mom was born in 1977.

No, in the ideal future.

This sounds more like a wet dream you had rather than real life.

Just typical life of a high schooler in Greensboro, NC in the 1970's.

No, but your LARP is.

Where’d you go, Page, Grimsley?
t. Ragsdale alumni

cool story bro

Assuming for the moment that this isn't a LARP, what do you think of le current year?

Thanks for working to preserve it for those that followed...

I carried a rifle or shotgun in my car when going to school during hunting season and graduated in 2005. Everyone knew but everybody was cool. I wish the South would stay mellow.

I bet You never called someone a nigger on halo 3 after school tho.

Spent 2 years at Page, 2 years at High Point Central due to family move.

An abomination that there will be no coming back from. The worst part is how technology has been almost weaponized by Big Brother. You can't have a conversation without it being recorded, can't go out in public without being taped by 50 different cameras, can't go online without everything being logged. It's no good.

Wow you had drugs, concerts and pussy?!?!? I was smoking weed at 11, got my first blowjob at 9, and going to bars and concerts by 15. We habvve that now retard. You faggot boomers still think hedonism and trying to make people jealous is what makes a country great. Youre moronic attitude is why America sucks today. Gky

Lmao my dad told me Ragsdale was the white flight school when he went to school. He said his rich friends went there. It was total niggered out when I went there. Graduated in 2014. HPC is probably worse. Grimsley is probably the only white school left in the county. Saving up to send my kids to High Point Christian.

That sounds more like abuse than a good time.

>be me
>be born in 1977
>drool and shit

The 80's were.

My brother's kids went to Wesleyan.

I don't need Viagra, I just think of the back seat of blue 1969 Chevy Bel Air.

youre soft as baby shit!! no wonder u guys suck so bad...hard times make hard men

You forgot we built a bunch of great futuristic shit like cable TV, the space shuttle, microwaves. Everyone with a job could afford a new car every three years, a vacation every summer, to retire. We left our doors unlocked. Children played together everyday in the street, baseball, football, soccer - anything.

My kids grew up in NJ. It was nice back then. The schools in Bergen County were very. very nice. I'm not sure what it's like now. My son needs to private school his kids, but he is out in Colorado.

Simple way to get it back. Teen movement to boycott internet for non educational purposes

And no ATMs. You had to wait in line at the bank on Friday to cash your check. Either that, or you cashed it at the bar during lunch.

You can't raise your kids without internet now. They will be left behind their peers when it comes to technology.

>hedonism, degeneracy, and more hedonism
If this is your idea of the best time to be alive you deserve nothing more than the worst that society has to offer. In fact it's this exact kind of pleasure seeking lifestyle that weakened western civilization and allowed the filth to seep in

complete and utter cucks. the lot of you will be killed first

Hedonism? It wasn't homosexual orgies and heroin. It was just being a teenager, and it was absolutely great.

the 70s were absolute dogshit you senile fuck

Why did you kill the future user?

Class of 79 here. Those were good times indeed.

The 70s were the last time (((they))) almost won. But they pushed things too far too fast and America got some half-assed pushback symbolized by Reagan. The more things change, right?

My point being that the 70s sucked.

Grass was always fun to smoke, and I smoked it my entire life. Never stopped me from being successful, made me an absentee parent, or anything else. As for everything else, men wore jeans and shirts, television was watched but not to the extent it is now, we listed to country and real rock and roll, feminism didn't exist in the south.

Learn to math you retarded nigger.

you were lucky enough to be born at the "right time" in history. nothing more to you than that.

I think many of you place too much blame on your parents. What did we do that was so terrible? Your problem should be with technology not your mom and dad's generation.

In the summer, we were out of the house at dawn. Back for dinner and in between we fed ourselves raiding everyone's gardens. We all had three things in our pockets. Folding knife, slingshot and a salt shaker for all those impromptu meals. Only rule? Back in the house when the street lights came on.

I still went to college, worked my way through school, and climbed the corporate ladder. You're right, though, everyone is capable of that. Are you putting in the same effort I did?

Sobbin' boomer bitch. Jaymawl is gonna feed you laxatives until you shit out your guts.

>be boomer
>benefit from the generous benefits of the new deal and great society.
>literally do nothing as Ronald Reagan and his successors loot the US through a combination of deficit spending on foreign military adventures, free-trade agreements, and tax-cuts.

I was alive in the 70s, but I was born in 1977.

The seventies sucked for us. The eighties even more so. Dad was a Teamster and was laid off a lot so we barely scraped by. I'm the oldest of four so money was always tight. Good thing dad was smart about saving and can enjoy a nice retirement while I'm homeless with mental issues from my childhood.
TL;DR: Fuck boomers and Day of the Pillow, when?

Weed turns you into a pacified, brainless moron. Your own pic disproves your "jeans and shirts" crap. Television and film were watched MORE than they are now and were more culturally relevant, and feminism existed everywhere, and just because it wasn't third wave feminism doesn't mean it wasn't womyn power feminist crap.

Shut the fuck up you worthless fucktard.

What industry did your father work in? Some unions got hit bad while others made it through flush with cash.

this is the type of millennial that is fucking it up for the rest of us millennials...nostalgia is good. it will make you strive to create better times.

No shit?! That's an entirely good reason to be salty tho. What kind of reaction were you expecting? Cheerful joy slurping a niggers dick?

A lot of money needed to be spent. It was the height of the cold war. If we didn't spend and have mutually assured destruction between us and the Soviets, God himself only knows what the world would be like now.

Ayyyyyyy, I grew up in Kernersville! Graduated from East Forsyth. Small world.

>Why weren't you alive in the 70's?
I was , you old fuck .

Taxi driver wouldnt be showing in theatres a year after it was released faggot. go watch altmans 3 women or suspiria if its 1977. FUCK YOU

that's a false equivalency. you were lucky to be around when real wages were at their plateau. your average person doesn't have those same opportunities today. it requires a lot more support from parents. nice patronizing comment, though.

I know the area well. Your town really grew up last I was there. It's night and day difference between then and now. Doss' ice cream still there?

Drive in movies always played releases after the theaters did. They were cheaper, too.

I just happened to be the sperm that left my father's genitals later.

You really have to wonder how people in a healthy society can look at monstrosities like those (and, consequently, the causes they advocate for) and say "yeah, that's fine".
Seeing one of those creatures in public should send sane people running, or at least walking quickly in the opposite direction.

That's not true, at all. We scrimped, we saved, and we put in the extra hours and went above and beyond to get noticed. Now everyone wants to be able to punch the clock at 5pm. It didn't work that way back then if you wanted to get ahead.

Being gen x is the worst. Didn't get the cool unregulated drugs and easy pre AIDS sex. By the time tinder and legal weed come along I'm in my 40's. Fuck boomers and fuck zoomers. Y'all had it easy. The only silver lining is everyone forgets we exist and blame melenials for everything.

60 year-old zoomers put on the spot

Drive ins were 70s dollar theaters.
>1977

>Dad was a Teamster
Teamsters are shipping. Diesel mechanics, drivers, dock workers(not boats but dry docks). He specifically worked for Roadway, which shipped about a third of all freight shipped by truck in the 80s. They're owned by Yellow now and Teamsters are still a union outfit but it's mostly politics not worker protection. Most union jobs are gone at this point.
