I’ll comment . This LIB lunatic has earned today’s award for Most Ungrateful Idiot and Loser . What a absolute waste of space and air . Putz of the first order .
Post-War was scary with all the duck and cover but buoyant with expectation. The sixties were our Roaring Twenties, the Wall fell, and we went into space taking incredible pictures.
Computers revolutionized culture but as Merle Haggard opined, “Are the good times really over for good?”
Ms. Helen Rosenthal,
The sailor didn’t forcibly kiss a woman.
He exuberantly kissed America.
Good observation!
According to one of Limbaugh’s undeniable truths of life, politics is show business for ugly people.
And the other one is feminism was created to give ugly women access to the mainstream of American life.
Everywhere didn't include my house since a large portion of the Marines on Okinawa were sent to China to control the chicoms...
Also, everywhere didn't include about 75% of the households in my neighborhood because they had lost fathers and brothers who had served in all branches of the military...
;)
My father and two Uncles, as well!
Yes, we did, with a few bumps in the later decades.
Did she have a problem with thousands upon thousands of men being killed fighting for the country? Seems nobody cares about that, they’d rather gripe about one of them who suddenly learned he and his friends and thousands of other young men wouldn’t be killed having a spontaneous moment of unbridled joy.
I did NOT "spoil" my progeny and don't even "spoil" my grand; none of whom are snowflakes or damned lefty LIBTARDS, or stupid millennials!
Yes, the ‘60s ( latter part ) were ourt version of the ‘20s!

Since there are about forty years between the Twenties and the Sixties, we might have been roaring again in 2000. It’s not hard to guess what went wrong.
>>I think I lived through the best days of America, from WWII to 2000. We are a grim society now, heading for worse.
Yep. Absolutely the culture and civilization is in decline, all the technology in the world is not a replacement for what’s been lost.
Scene of Russian soldiers in Berlin rejoicing (and kissing everyone in sight, both men and women) on the announcement that the war is over (starts about five minutes in) :

No one was objecting, it was a moment of great joy.
Damn. That just curdled the cream in my coffee.
Guess there would have no danger of anyone giving her a kiss if she had been around on that day.
History and eras do tend to repeat ever XXX years.
Re fashion...in the early '60s "sack dresses" a la the "flapper" style came in and Rudy Genrich had a LOT of that loose style in the mid '60s with a higher hem, just as the '20s dresses, as the time went on, had higher and higher hems; though NOT as high as movie recreations, of later times, would have you believe.
Men also dressed more flamboyantly and I'm NOT talking about hippie clothes.
And the '20s were a similar recreation of the late 1880s-early 1890s. Which were a newer version of clothes from the late 1830s! It used to be an every 40 or so year cycle.
>>my Dad got very anxious watching the news with what was happening in America. We just didn’t watch the news after I realized how it affected him.
I suffered through the daily MSM attacks on Reagan and Republicans (on tv, radio, and print). No counter arguments in the media.
Endured the kneepad bridgade for the Clinton co-presidency from libtard media in the 90s “To sir with love” and all that rot.
Finally tuned out completely when Obama was being selected not elected in the 2008 primary and straight white couples were disappearing from advertising and series.
10 years later I haven’t looked back.
And in the 90s Ray Bradbury told “me” (the whole audience actually) to tune out on the broadcast news (local and national) saying that there were better sources for information. Consider that the local news rarely dwells on what goes on at City Hall, running some canned national headlines, a car wreck or warehouse fire (police blotter items), some kind of man on the street thing regarding something national or local (at least a few comments), maybe a human interest story or canned medical pharma promotion, sports, weather, and then something light at the end.
