Charles Krauthammer used to talk about 1982-2007 as 25 years of peace and

prosperity that was unprecedented and would never be repeated. I agree with him

It's a cliche, but it does seem like those were more simple times

It sure does feel that way. Sports, politics, music, etc.

Nah, I was just quoting a song from that period. I actually loved those decades.

It was a message he was sending out, like a telegraph to your soul.

Your friends are saying something different.

I was trying to go along with the lyrics. No matter what my friends say part.

I'd go back to the period of peace & prosperity between Korea and the Cold War

Cold War started before the Korean War...so...

Me too, but I wonder how different my perspective would be if I was an adult then instead of kid/teen.

Amen to that. No social media alone made the world a better place.

And no reality TV shows. And BYU was good at football.

I don't think there was ever a better time to grow up than the 90s.

I disagree on the civil rights part. There really hasn't been any substantive

The LGBT community and minority groups around the world disagree.

I assumed the conversation was limited to the United States. There haven't

Cultural changes for sure.

Same could be said of the 80s, so growing up in both the 80s and 90s was an excellent double whammy of awesomeness.

Must not have paid much attention to the epidemics, race wars, and

gretsch

I'm a historian and history teacher, so yes, I pay attention to everything that happens in a decade, and am also smart

Maybe you can help me understand why the 70s and 2000's were worse

gretsch

5/29/20 1:14pm

The 70s saw a significant decline in American prestige, both abroad and at home, due to the end of fighting in Vietnam,

I forget that all that ended the second the clock ticked to 1980

gretsch

5/29/20 2:24pm

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize this was a conversation requiring me to turn my brain off and abandon reason. I do better

BlueBlood94

5/29/20 5:11pm

Oh so you are saying the spirit of the 80s and 90s was better...
