Yes, the last generation enjoyed a culture that lifted up our nation's Christian heritage and was not afraid of lifting up the importance of moral values, which more often kept them from unhappy lives as with today's many millions of unwed mothers on welfare, abandoned children, drug addicts, broken families, people living together with no commitments, etc. etc. True Christian families today are still happy because they have not allowed this self love culture to brainwash them into living these broken unhappy lifestyles. The drug use and anti depressant medications in this nation has skyrocketed because of the depression from such unhappy lives. People will do anything to mask their unhappiness for a few hours. The media's thirst for ratings and money has brainwashed our children into believing these promiscuous immoral self love lifestyles will bring lasting happiness. The results are proving what a complete lie it has been. Yes there will be short term fun when people live these shallow lifestyles of sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. but it will most times come crashing down when the unwanted pregnancies, the drug addictions, the alcoholism, the lost drivers licenses from drunk driving, the outrageously expensive auto insurance, the bad credit, etc. etc. etc. finally hit. That's when we start hearing about all the so called "mistakes" people make. They say we all make mistakes right? They say it's not our fault, it just happened, right? It was just a mistake. ROFLOL, that is the lie from the Left. Newsflash, none of those scenario's are mistakes. They are conscious moral choices we all have to make every day of our lives. The next time your so called friend comes up to you and asks you to go out, get drunk, hook up, take some drugs, etc. etc., you have a choice to make. Do you want that instant short term fun of a wild night, which could lead you to drunk driving, jail, unwanted pregnancy, welfare, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc. etc., or do you want to enjoy a happy fulfilling life with a loving family, financial security, and self respect. It's all in your hands. Choose wisely! Side: yes

Really it's apples and oranges. On the one hand I remember less media and simpler life. On the other hand, I remember car and home costs still ate up most of their income, a crushing boredom which overshadowed most of life in the Midwest, and in general less knowledge about politics and the world itself. When you live small and simple you live small and simple. Yet despite that you still have plenty of worries about money, and plenty of drama even if it's about something small and local instead of about national or global politics. And the final thing I'll say is my parents' generation, which includes a lot of the active members on this site, all appear to be too pissed off now for me to conclude they lead particularly happy or fulfilling lives. One would think they'd just keep being happy, wouldn't they? Shouldn't they just have their homes and cars and families and be shining examples of happiness? But instead they think the whole world is coming to an end and it's the dang fault of all those freakin libtards out there. Side: no
