Why I Hate The Sixties
Documentary Heaven ^ | none given | Society

Posted on 05/14/2025 5:09:00 PM PDT by DallasBiff

This BBC film examines the myth behind the sixties, which was itself created before the decade was even out but has since lingered in all of our minds. What we have lived with however is merely a mirage and this documentary sets about exposing the truth, suggesting that we are living on borrowed time as a result of those who indulged whilst an unchecked Britain experienced an industrial decline.

Born and grew up then, the worst part of the 60's was LBJ.

Have fun and flame away.

I remember the ‘60s, so I must not have been there.

The 60’s are why everything is bad today.

I have no fond memories of the Sixties. None.

The death of President Kennedy shocked me to my core. It sort of marks the death of everything good. After the 1960s "Rock and Roll" became dark and dysfunctional, embracing the dark side. Race riots, The Great Society, Earl Warren Court, a dark ugly time. We as a nation have never recovered.

I keep trying to tell those who are ignorant of history that Biden and Obama were not the worst presidents in US history.

Lyndon Johnson was.

The Great Society and LBJ’s war. 2 major reasons why the 1960’s sucked only slightly less than the 1860’s.

Hemisfair in ‘68 was pretty neat.

I recently read The Devil’s Chessboard. A lot of it is bound up in JFK’s assassination. Worth reading. The Deep State has been around a long time.

LOL. Yep… the 60s pretty much sucked but for me there was one good part… a girl who allowed me to… well you know. But other than that, the 60s sucked! And I really agree with the poster who said LBJ sucked…. Because his hustle called the Great Society is still screwing up this country.

A wonderful time to have experienced- the best music,, movies, and television shows, coolest cars, innovation everywhere, and the US was great.

Born in the 50’s.

60’s were my “coming of age” playground.
Wonderful time for many reasons. No regrets.
Fantastic women, fantastic cars, fantastic music, fantastic business possibilities. Made to most of it all.

Political situation was another matter but certainly wasn’t my focus at that time.

Born in 66. But having studied immensely I firmly believe that Vatican II was the worst thing that happened in the 60s. Bar none.
