I wish i lived in the 70's my life would be way better

I'm the same age dude and pretty much act the same as you. I think we should work harder on bringing it back then wishing we were in the past. Lots of kids have started smoking pot where i live. And lots have long hair and listen to and play rock n roll. Its coming back. At least in Nevada.

I would give anything to have grown up in the 60s or 70s.

We are living in a LAAAAAAME age.

Hmmm I love 70's music like The Doors and such and the carefree attitude BUT the rest I don't want. I don't want the political turmoil and I dont wanna give up my clothes or my technology.

The seventies sucked at the time. They seem pretty cool now in some ways, but really the '60's were the shit. :hippy:
In the '70's, people would say "the '60's are over man!"
They were right.
The Beatles broke up, and The Osmonds hit #1
Earth shoes were fucking uncomfortable.
Nixon.
My bell bottoms got caught in my bike chain.
Headbands made me sweat.
No Cable TV.
Platform shoes were EVEN MORE uncomfortable.

The best thing about the seventies was...
It wasn't the '80's yet.

Unless I was right in Haight-Asbury in 1967, I wouldn't care to live in those times, except to see some kick ass bands.

exactly. while i do like most of the music and clothes from the 70s (that 70s show kicks ass!!!), the 60s seem like they were soooooooo much more chill. that was the time to explore and expand your mind, it seems, and the music scene...fucking amazing. the summer of love sure as hell rocked, and i wish i could have been there for those shows. i love the clothes from the 60s as well. but i don't really think i would have given up where i am at this point now to grow up then. i just wish i could have experienced mainly the counter-culture of the 60s, and the 70s a bit too.

turn on, tune in, drop out - tim leary

Cannabis and hippies were discriminated just as much as we are today, other than the laws were much lighter. Smokers still got harrased and were considered useless, lazy potheads by the authority.

Wars were happening back then just as they are today. Not much has changed except the fact that media can be broadcasted from anywhere on TV, so that's why people think this world is much more fucked now as it was then. They just didn't have the technology to air on TV what they can today, so were hear more of it now then we did back then.

Although the music scene and the political advances back then would have been an honor to be a part of, but as for life being easier for being a pot smoker...? Nah, we are hated on just as much today as they were back then.

You have to get passed the fact not to care what non smokers think. They can mock us and advertise mindless propaganda, will that stop me? Hell no. Just flip them the bird, say fuck off and keeping going on with whatever you do. You can't let people who don't agree or accept what you do stop you because those people aren't going away and it's part of life.

Life would be boring if everyone agreed on everything. That's what makes life interesting.

LOL...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

$15/ounce of mexican
$25/ounce for Columbian Gold, Acopolco gold, jamaican
Afghani hash all over the place for CHEAP
Toking in concerts was a must!

Schools and parents were alot harsher with the refer madness mentality.
The computor, cd, vcr, cell phone.....was Star Trek shit.

When I was 16 my parents took a half ouce of seeds that I was saving to the cop shop after doing a raid on my bedroom. It bought me 3 months in the psychiatric ward! LOL..found out what happened to a few friends that disappeared from school. Lucky for me I had the right doctor; some of my friends had Dr. Shock.....electroshock for treatment purposes. They'd come out like zombies.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

silly ass teenagers, wouldn't last a week in the 70's, haha, you don't know how much of a spoiled bitch you are. lol

dude..
thats very scary. are you serious?

oh on the topic, i would really like to have lived in the 60's or 70's, not jsut for the music and drugs and scene but because todays technology scares the crap out of me. now people are able to be tracked, you are able to test for substances in someones body, bombs are stronger, guns are better, i dont feel safe anymore. and the govornment, theyre becoming more poewrful and watchful. if it wasnt for all that id be perfectly content in the time im in. i mean were all here now so that means we werent meant to be in the 70s, we were meant to be now.
new music sucks.
i really would like to say i had been a part of that though. it kind of breaks my heart that i never can and never will experience that. but im gonna experience my time range. it might be fun. id like to see things turn around and go back to the mentality they had back then. the chill people, at least. there are so few of them in my town. that would make me very happy.
