Penn and Teller Bullshit: The Good Old Days Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3707776 While i too love to remember the good old days. The fact is things weren't that great. Not to mention, those are pictures when someone broke out a camera and more so 'back then' you fucking put a smile on your face when a camera appeared. People tend to not take pictures when things are going back especially years back then. And if you had it so perfect how did you manage to fuck it up so badly for your children? Or do you want to talk about how the younger generation won't take responsibility while simultaneously not take responsibility for raising complete fuck-ups? This. Life has always been hard as fuck and will continue to be hard. You exchange old problems for new problems each passing generation. It always remained balanced. The real issue is corruption which is leading us into blind slavery, we were always slaves but now were about to be literal slaves. |

And on and on. There is no "white". It makes zero sense from an intellectual perspective. It's a fallacy. It's impossible to define. If some French person moved to the Middle East and became a "poulain" in the medieval period, and their ancestors lived on Cypress, then what would you call them?

Walked a MILE and BACK to buy a farm worker a pack of Luckies; $17. Why ? Because he asked me to. I got a penny from the change and it bought me 20 good sized firecrackers, all the way from CHINA ! Went barefoot a lot, but once you stepped on a bee in the grass, you knew that it was wiser to wear your shoes. Everyone wore their older brothers/sisters clothes, so there was NO teasing about whose clothes you wore. Mom had a rag bag, where any material not thoroughly worn out/through was saved for patching our (two boys) clothes, as well as a button box. AND, there was no school bus to pick you up. You WALKED to school, a mile away. My dad walked several miles, even on top of stone wall fences, when the snow was too deep. Eagle |
