Many people, most of them Konservatives, wish to return to a simpler time that exists only in their imaginations. I lived through those times and they were not pretty.

And now a question to ask is this: What was so simple about 1950?

The 1950s was a time when gender relations were harmonious, compared to now. People were happy their traditional gender roles before misandric feminism skyrocketed.

There are a literally a myriad of reasons that could easily be developed into a thesis paper and none of which you would agree with anyway. To answer your question the OP posed a question and I answered it, that’s why.

I am assuming Lou Thesz was the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I'll have to look that up. I would love to go back in time, hang out in black jazz/blues clubs and freak people out.

I will always wonder how different America would be today if 9/11 never happened. Flying would be much better, we wouldn't be in as much debt, and Bush never would have had the second term.

Losers live in the past because they hate their own life so much. I feel bad for RPON, seems like a very sad person.

Don't kid yourself, there were a lot of very miserable people back then. My mother is a very brilliant woman, she should have been a doctor or lawyer but was a victim of her time.

She was co-validictorian of her HS graduating class (of course they had to find a boy to give it to as well, even though she was clearly the best student) she ended up marrying my Dad, a soldier and farmer like 99% of the women of her era. She didn't go to college, she didn't even get a drivers license. She had nine kids and lived her life as a farmwife.

She was way too smart for that life, she wasn't a very happy person.

I would take 2012 7 days a week over 1950.
