Do you sometimes wish that it was still like it was in the 50's?

Answer 1

Yes, even tho I wasn't born until the late 60s... it seems like it was a much simpler time, but a lot more fun and social. A lot cleaner, a lot sweeter, and you could walk down the street without being abducted, mugged, raped or murdered.

Answer 2

I think every generation looks back and thinks their parents or grandparents had it made. The fifties looked like such an ideal time sandwich between the horror of WWII and the political turmoil of the 60's and 70's. But this was before the civil rights momement. Women had no say in the workplace or family. Gays were forced into hiding. Pregnant women were forced into marriage. Abused women had to stay in marriages due to the horror of divorce. Molestation was a hush hush. Maybe that's our problem now, that we don't leave any of our lives behind closed doors. Trust me, someday there with be a generation ( hopefully ) that thinks we had it better than them. Because I'm sure someone in the 50's thought the 20's were better.

Answer 3

I think the most positive thing for it being the 50's would be it being a simplier time. Not some much hate in the world. Everyone had good well put together families and just seemed like the way of life!

Answer 4

I don't know what living in the 50's was like. I was born in the late 60's

Answer 5

50s was the Korean War and reconstruction back in my nation. NO thanks.

I more likely wish it was the early 90s (was living back in the States then). Everything was somewhat peachy.

Answer 6

well, i was born in 51, so i remember the 50s. if you mean the relaxed, mostly non stressed way of living, then yes. if you mean war, racism and the like, then no.

Answer 7

To a point yes, but at the same time I kinda like being able to vote and work freely. But yes it would be nice too.

Answer 8

Well, in the U.S. we were fighting the Korean War and living with segregation, so no.

Answer 9

Maybe

Answer 10

a much simpler time.
