  1. Nothing much has changed, then.

  2. I was born in 1951, and can remember the tinned portable baths and the outdoor toilets. Telephone, television, or most electronic gadgets didn't exist. No, life wasn't better in many ways, but it's pointless making comparisons between the past and the present. Life is what you make it, and I'm glad I was born when I was, as I certainly wouldn't like to be a youngster at this time in human existence.

  3. ​ @penguinsushi8442  Please excuse me for responding to a question you didn't ask me, but..... I was in my 20's during the 70's, and life was full to the brim of discoveries, activities, fun, and pain - pretty much the norm for most people of that age, I would think. In 1970, just aged 19, my parents kicked me out on the street for getting pregnant at 18. I was homeless, but still worked full-time until I gave birth, because there was no such thing as social benefits in Ireland at that time. Overall, the 70's, 80's, and 90's were times of massive innovation, discovery, rebellion, and upheaval - history keeps repeating itself, unfortunately, and we never seem to learn much from it. A very sad disposition to be in. Humanity has progressed in some ways, and regressed in others, but we've now reached a stalemate where no-one wants to take responsibility for anything; whilst power, greed, and control are the mainstay of our existence. Because of those defects, we haven't developed to our full potential. We are, and always have been, our own worst enemy, and are now in the final throes of total self-destruction - whilst most of us go about our daily business with the attitude of either total indifference/ignorance or "ach, it'll work itself out" because "someone else" will do it for them. I'm not a doom-and-gloom person, by the way, as I've always loved life and people. However, by the time I reached 15 or 16, I chose atheism and a strong dislike for the US government. We all have choices to make, although those are now steadily and forcibly being reduced, so we should think hard before we decide which way to go. Whether we like it or not, we all need each other........I've already said too much. Stay safe and well, wherever you are, and look after those close to you.

  4. It's probably a subtle warning from the see-eye-aye not to cross their line.

  5. What a wonderful video that was! Subscribed, thank you.

  6.  @AdamKlownzinger  Thank YOU for politely acknowledging those who clarified things for you. Not enough viewers do that. Stay safe and well, wherever you are.

  7. One of the many things I dislike about the US is their dreadful use (misuse, abuse) of the English language. They can't spell, and their grammar is appalling. To be so ignorant of your own ignorance is a very sad state of affairs, particularly when Americans think they're such a superior race.

  8.  @blugaledoh2669  In a nutshell.........because the human race is destroying itself and the planet we live on.

  9. Sounds perfectly plausible, considering who really runs that country. I wonder what Trump thinks about that film?

  10. Excellent.........as always, Mr BritMonkey. Thanks.

  11. That may or may not be so, but you've got to remember that the man was being constantly hounded by vultures. Perhaps he was just glad to get rid of the film and make some money at the same time on the side.

  12.  @quanashiab.9620  That's a lovely message to find first thing in the morning, Quanashiab, thank you. I've never been one to label others, and have always tended to just see people as the individuals that they are. I prefer not to be judgemental of those I know nothing about, just as I would expect others to treat me the same way. I didn't start using the internet until I was 61 years of age (I'm 72 now), so social media was a whole new world to me. In some ways, it was quite a shock to my system, as the virtual world has a much wider spectrum than our somewhat smaller sphere of existence. Have a great day, and all the best to you and yours for 2024.

  13. Buying a used condom?!!? The idea of that just leaves me speechless with disgust, yet strangely amused. I was born in 1951, and didn't see TV until I was about 12 years old, but very restricted by my parents. I'm lucky, though, because I hardly ever saw TV during my whole life, as I was far too busy living a full existence. I'm 72 now, and I didn't even start using the internet until 2013. I can now see that I didn't really miss anything of importance. The threat of doom and gloom is a not so subtle way of brainwashing people into being frozen with fear, therefore disabling rational thought and making them easy to manipulate. It works every time.

  14.  @timcarnell5133  I know what you mean. They can't even spell, and their grammar is atrocious.

  15.  @AdamKlownzinger  We can all learn from each other, and that's what I enjoy most about using social media. All the best to you and yours for the coming year, and make sure you've all got your seatbelts on.😉🙃😊

  17. You've obviously never been hounded or stalked.

  18. I doubt whether it was Mr Z who dictated that condition, as it's far more likely to have been ordered by the * to hide the truth about which direction the shot came from. After all, LHO definitely wasn't the shooter.

  19. I kept bypassing it, too, even though I'm also a subscriber. The title could be changed, but I think that camera should stay. Be well.
