70’s hmmm. I wish I had lived that era. Of course I would have to mention the Women’s Movement that erupted during those years. And the politics were complex, and youth more passionate about liberalism, ideas and events. Watergate, Viet Nam, Elvis dies, Jimmy Carter, xxxx Clark, Civil Rights, Roe v. Wade, Black Panthers. Shag hair cuts, Far OUT, Lots of Pot!!! The Doors, Bob Dylan, The Police and John Coltrane. The Graduate, Saturday Night Fever, Jaws and The Godfather I.

I think that the 70’s were the most inspirational and revolutionary time.

Anileve... which website was that again?
www.70s.com???
I was just wondering...

[omniscient]

thats one thing ive noticed a lot of people seem to do on this forum. not think on thier own! or copy and paste. now im not talking about anileve right now, just in general. if someone talks about the 70's people that dont know anything about it will go and find info on it and then post it. WHY?

Anyone here born in the 70s? Hehehehe. Gee I guess if you are you would be REAAAALLY old.

Hey STEVE PREFONTAINE died in the 70s.

That sucked. Oh yea and you had the Brady Bunch.

The 70s was very cool.

Oh and Disco Stu from the Simpsons is a 70s revivalist.

So as you can see, alot of stuff did happen. All that stuff anileve listed is nonsense and didn't in one bit matter. This here above is what cut the ice.

Thanks for the support, but what can I expect from a mouse of a man.

So what you guys are basically implying is that although many important events have occurred in the past, what matters is the time that you live in. That means we shall not build our knowledge and just concentrate on the present, wouldn’t that keep us making mistakes repeatedly? Everything that happened in the 70’s laid a new and reformed foundation for you guys who are benefiting from it all, now tell me is it not worth knowing? And it is quite sad that some have to turn to the internet to find information on history which occurred only 30 years ago, it should be known initially. And then you are angry that some people are not aware of Genocide which happened a whole 88 years ago. Why should people know anything about that, there is always internet right?

Apparently some of us are too old to notice sarcasm.

But then again I wouldn't expect much from an OLD person!

Apparently some of us take things that don’t refer to them personally. As for the first phrase that did address you, that was what you would consider sarcasm, but I guess that it’s on a more adult level and not open to an interpretation by a young person.

well what about the 60's then
