Also, no grossly overweight fat female pigs like we see today at the supermarkets. Even their toddler kids are grossly overweight. I wish I could turn back 75 years ago.

[@MagicApple03]

Wow. How very rude of you to call someone a fat pig. You know most of our food here in America is geared to kill us, right? It's horrible, and not many can afford healthy food. However, I won't bother trying to teach you since obviously if you are calling someone a 'fat pig' you must be a child. Very unkind, I hope you gain maturity and understanding.

[@delftfietser]

Jim Crow laws were a feature of the American South. They were around a lot longer than the KKK.Even so, blacks were treated like second class citizens at best. WW2 very much opened the eyes of many whute Americans because it showed where institutionalized racism could lead a nation to treat its racial minorities. Remember that it was progressive thought in the 1930s to value eugenics and racial superiority, and that was carried into the '40s. Credit the teenagers of the 1940s doing the hard work to change society for the better, however imperfectly.

If time could only stand still and we could live like we did in the 40, 50s and 60s I noticed how everyone dressed so nice. Back than we had no distractions families were real families that got together and enjoyed each others company. Families had Sunday dinners and went for a drive. People felt connected now with each generation we’ve lost so much of what made us human. People are like robots staring at their cell phones children are no longer safe at schools oh I could go on and on. I was born on New Years of 67 and for some reason I just thought the world would stay the same I can remember watching my favorite show Little House on the Prairie it felt like time moved slow when it was actually moving fast and now that I’m older I look back and it almost feels like a dream time is the biggest thief. I am grateful I lived in an era where life felt safe the kids today with their electronics will never know the world I grew up in because it’s something you have to experience to understand. I would say the world changed through the tv the type of programs the electronics was our biggest deceiver because it’s replaced everything that is good. Families no longer get together every connection is through social media and that’s a cold way of communicating.
