[Soph Soph the Soap Master.]

* do you think things were better in the 60s and 70s than they are today?
* do people have less morals today than they do now?
* what do you think of all these social networking sites like facebook and myspace?
* what do you think of twitter?

*best bands of the 60s and 70s?
* modern music vs old school music?

[COFFEEE]

Yes.

Today vs. now??? Rephrase...

I can't stand those sites.

Haven't "done" Twitter.

Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Eagles, Queen, Kinks, Carpenters, Loggins & Messina, Genesis, Earth Wind & Fire, Electric Light Orchestra, Atlanta Rhythm Section....

Old school.

[poorgarby621]

Yes--even the Recession of the early 70's was more fun than this one!
No--people have become more afraid and more conservative
Wish we'd had them!
Not sure what twitter is--I've only just heard about it recently.
Beatles, Stones, Dead...too many to list
All kinds of music!

EDIT YOUR QUESTION TO: How did you manage to fuck up the economy this bad....musta been the weed

[xoraisaox]

I'm only 19 but...
Oh yeahhhh music was way better back then

Dude, we are back into the 60s and 70s with the same kind of financial and social chaos. History is repeating itself, man.

There are more people with less morals, especially when it comes to the "what's in it for me" mentality

Like any other kind of technology, things like facebook can be used for good or used for bad.

Oh man, don't hassle me man, but there were so many groups. Unique too. When you heard them on the radio you knew who it was, unlike today.
The Rascals, Bee Gees, Beach Boys, Beatles, Stones, Mamas and Papas, Credence Clearwater, Monkeys, 5th Dimension...on and on

Twitter, who's that cat? Someone tripping on some bad acid man?

[anoshorahim]

I'm a hippie born too late. My parents named me after John Lennonand my middle name is Luv, so I know what's up. lol

Yes, I do think things were better back then - Love, peace, and happiness, who wouldn't love that? Also, I love the fashions - flowers and bell bottoms, and my hair is naturally wavy and thick and frizzy, so it would've REALLY been in style back then. When I think of how it must've been in those times I think of the play "Hair" and the movie "Dazed and Confused". Everything was so much more care-free.

Back then people started having more free sex, but it was alot more moral then it is today. They seemed to have actually cared about each other and each other's feelings, it wasn't as nasty or degrading and you didn't have STD's like Herpes, Genital Warts and AIDS (yes, there were STDs but you could just take some penicillin for those kinds). I honestly think that society is horrible now and the end of the world is coming soon because God is fed-up with people abusing everything and having no morals. I still recylce, which many people don't now. I feel like now it's all about MEMEMEME and back then it was more about the community and loving your brother. They didn't care so much about their image and commercialism and the dog-eat-dog world of materialistic greed like now.

I have a myspace account to KIT with people because I've moved around a bit, but that's all. I don't do any of that other stuff and didn't even know how to work a computer til highschool (which is pretty late for my generation). I still don't even know how to plug in the DVD to the TV, use lots of computer programs etc, but I can do "manual things" like change a tire, fix a garage door, paint, spackle, etc.

Best bands - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller Band, of course The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Greatful Dead (I've been to one of their concerts :-) ), Aerosmith, back then, not now, and many many more. Go classic rock!

Modern music goes along with modern society, corrupt and decrepid. Classic rock just puts me in such a good mood, like I just want to be at a park playing with my dog in the sunshine when I listen to it. :-)
However, I do like Rap, RnB, etc. I lvoe reggae too. I really like all kinds of styles and genres, but there's something about classic rock that just puts me in a really good mood. My friends call me a ghetto hippie. lol
