Default Read this if you were born before 1986.......

If I was part of my grandparent's generation, statistically there'd be a good chance that I'd be dead by now. [smiley=icon_cry.gif]

It's weird cos' every older generation since the beginning of time prefers their childhood era. I was reading a Charles Dickens novel the other day, and in it the old people were compalining about the present period and were pining for the 'good old days'. Strangely enough, 'the good old days' is one of the oldest phrases in the English language. [smiley=icon_biggrin.gif]

I also don't think that I could stand the racist and sexist attitudes of the pre 1960s. I look at the way the Maoris, Aboriginees, Native Americans were treated before the 1990s, and I think it reflects rather badly on the people at the time, to be honest. [smiley=icon_confused.gif]
