After watching a lot of old tv shows I have to say being an adult now is different then back then.

The way we dress, and how we act.

Somethings are the same but not everything.

I don't drink coffee or smoke, and only drink very little.

Thinking back to when I was a kid, there was line between kids and adults.

Not so much now.

What do y'all think.

1. it's out of fucking control

the stupidity of the general public (narcotized by television and saturated with ubiquitous marketing and advertising messages) creates a situation where everyone walks around in an insular bubble to the extent that cherished community traditions and social outlets become scarcer and scarcer. Not only this, but the general stupor of the average person isn't really worth being around. In other words, as people transit from temperature contolled environment to temperature controlled environment, IN THEIR CARS, they lose more and more touch with the things that really matter.

2. When I was litle everybody knew everybody in the neighborhood or near by.

A lot about the past was not good, I am glad to see it go.

I would have not wanted to be an adult woman back then.

But not all of it was bad.

I like my street where I live, we are neighbors in the real sense.

I agree with what you said.
