1111312 2010-06-22 10:54:00 I've always considered the 50's to be an abnormality caused by the shock to the national mindset by the war.

And that looking back at the good old days to be complete and utter bullocks and delusional.

Everything leading up to this point was worse.We live like kings.

Well I'm inclined to think you're close to the mark there especially as no alternative theory has been presented itself.

Sounds like you spent way too much time studying the pub scene.

1111315 2010-06-22 11:26:00 Looking at my kids I would say the good ol days are today.

No cane or strap at school
My kids dont get intimated by teachers or police they know their civil rights
Mind blowing electronic games to play
Bullies can get taken out by the school easily
Girls seem to chop it up more nowdays
Cars are cheap and go fast
RTDs like woodies (I love them wish they were around in my day)
Instant communication with texts and facebook and ims
Kids cant have contact counseling done on them by parents
If you are homosexual kid nowdays no biggie its mainstream
Get plenty of travel and overseas travel (I never saw a train until I was 16)
No conscription or 18 year old call up
Girls can take engineering at school and guys cooking or typing

The good ol days werent in the seventies imo they are right ******* now.


NZ wasnt like russia after ww2 the amount of people killed didnt put anything out of kilter.
The fifites were prosperous the world needed our wool to keep the troops killing commies in korea warm.

Wool was worth a pound a pound and townies went out into the country and picked wool off barbed wire fences. Imagine where we would be if the price was worth the equivalent.

1111320 2010-06-23 02:13:00 I take it you disagree lol. I wasnt bullied at school, others were and I did nothing, but was very impressed with anti bullying protocols my kids school has.
Didnt see a train because none in Nelson never had a holiday because I worked school holidays fencing and as rousie in wool shed. Also tobacco farm work is continuous all year.
I take it you are a bit anti homo?
