Rev StarGazer User ID: 37891955 United States 06/03/2013 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 1940, my grandfather bought a Bell and Howell 16mm movie camera and began 30 years of documenting our family. My mom has a closet stacked floor to ceiling with the reels. This post has really made me want to get on her about transferring them all to DVD before the film decays. They are all so cool! Not your typical family movies - grandpa was a pilot and the family traveled a lot. Quoting: Rev StarGazer and then post them to youtube and link here on glp.. that would be awesome to see That's actually a very cool idea! “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 40832586 United Kingdom 06/03/2013 01:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Everyone has such nostalgia for the past... Anyone remember what was going on in Europe at this time. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40334276 Also everyone looked the same, go to the financial district all the shirts will be tucked in. Not a lot of character if you ask me... Weren't blacks still at the back of the bus at this point. Wake up people, yes it was a cool place and a cool time, but so is today and it is what you make, just imagine the discussions on GLP at the time, not much different than today, war, coming out of depression, segregation. It is fine to think of the past, but don't idealize things that are not true. The technojunket lifestyle eats ass. The only benefit to this day and age is GLP!!!!!!!!!!! It could be better, but if you keep electing politicians who have no qualifications relative to human needs we will continue to go down hill. Technology if used to benefit humanity would give everyone on earth a lifestyle equivalent to any rich person today. We need the technical people to influence society to make it happen. No Obamas or Romneys will make it happen. |

Building 7 User ID: 3041808 United States 06/03/2013 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great video. One thing that caught my attention was I didn't see any obese people. How Amerika has changed, sad! Quoting: Martin Farbles ^^^ I was just gonna post this. Food was pure then. Much of obesity is triggered by a con't hunger, as the body struggles to get the natural nutrients it needs to function. GMOs; depleted minerals in soils; things like aspertane, high fructose corn syrup, msg, fluoride, big pharma drugs etc further fuck things up. Kids spend so much time indoors now gaming, with schools cutting down/ eliminating outdoor games. Sad. Last Edited by Building 7 on 06/03/2013 01:37 PM |

So I am thinking the ones who don't appreciate, and have a longing for the good ole' days, weren't born and raised during those times. They have no idea what we are longing for. |
