- If you ever wax nostalgic about how much better things were in the 1960s, you might want to take a look at what people actually believed back then. The world has changed a lot in 50 years, after all, and while not everything in today’s world is an improvement, at least we take wearing seatbelts seriously. Back in the ‘60s, seatbelts were a joke for more than half of Americans, and wearing them wouldn’t be national law for years.
That's just the beginning of some of that era's weirdest beliefs. From the laziest weight loss technique imaginable to the sexist qualifications for flight attendants, let’s take a look at some bizarre things that people really believed 50 years ago.

Which of these beliefs had you scratching your heads the most?
At least Australian kids can go to school without fear a being shot, unlike America that kids have drills of how to hide when there is a shooting in the school.
The one where they actually thought medication and surgery could literally change a persons gender...oh wait
acid's groovy kill the pigs
Grunge...None! They were all awesome! Wait till 50 years from now when that generation looks back at THIS f***ed up era! You want to talk about screwy!
The mistaken premise that this subjective video is an accurate portrayal of the 1960s is why I'm scratching my head.
Don't worry young people of today. The young people of 2069 will be laughing at you too.
I'm laughing at them now, but I'm just ahead of my time...
Just wait until their grandkids see those photos of tattoos, piercings,body mods rainbow hair . cos play and furry suits! When they get old enough for the nursing home the poor nursing androids will go through hell taking care of them. Don't dare run out of soy milk , kale and medical marijuana!
I'm not laughing....
Not if the middle East have anything to with it
True
It’s a good thing that in 2019, all the weight loss ads, potions, herbal remedies and infomercials are completely legitimate.
@barbara fields It's all about persuasion. People will always be suckers for products tailor-marketed to them.
@@troubledsole9104 There's something to that in so much as marketing becomes so effective that it replaces expert advice. The Coca cola company had everyone convinced in the 60's that giving babies Coca cola was a good thing. Keep in mind that in the 60's Television was rather new and the visual commercials were (I believe) very powerful in persuasion.
😂😂😂
Yes, there have been great advances in vibration weight loss. If anything, this kind of stuff is sillier now, much like the government. This is a goofy video.
Yup!! vitamin C will cure common cold (been disproved with many studies) but people still believe in it!!!
as opposed to the bizarre things people believed 50 minutes ago.....
Well said!!!
Yeah, and they have an electronic oracle at their fingertips. If you wanted to verify something back 50 years ago, you had to find a library or a set of Encyclopedia Britannica.
Amen sister.
So true!! Thanks for your insight!
The things people will believe right now amazes me... ;-)
50 years ago, we rode in the back Windows of cars and the beds of pickup trucks. As mom and dad puffed away on cigarettes.
Those were better days than what we're living in today.
@@lonicallis7932 Roger that ! I couldn't agree more.
We use to stand up in the seats of our cars and pickups haha my Dad built what essentially could be construed as a giant gocart on regular wheels we used to ride on his lap going 40 mph and hit the RR tracks and bounce up there was no covers on the motor the gas tank was behind the seat today my dad would have been arrested for child endangerment but God it was fun I'm gonna be 53 here real soon those were the days
@@witzelasper2821 My best friend has a couple home made go-carts . We rode them all over his farm. Like yours, they looked very unsafe!Lol ! We had hours and hours of fun with them. With no supervision. We hunted, shot guns, rode dirt bikes(Motorcycles) and camped. And so much more. And, like always, little to no supervision.
And people rode in the backs of those pickups to Mom and Dad's funerals after they died in their 40s from smoking.
What the video didn't say- is that back then a guy with an 8th grade education can work, with his wife staying home... and he could buy a house, a car and raise three kids fairly comfortably.

If a husband or wife doesn't work and their partner does you should have a meal ready for your other half.
Ikr...
I still believe that. Even when I was 18.
And at least have the house clean and pick up the slack when needed so that they aren't the ones doing it all by themselves
I learnt the last 10 years, I'm a born house husband. I do my chores whistling a tune. I don't fight what most think is woman's work. I always look to improve. I really confuse her and my patriarchal family. I'm in gratitude for the 34 years together and I take every opportunity to be together. Even she can have comments reminiscent of a 1950's male toward me. I remind her of her misogamy and she apologies. Besides I'm the computer wiz, world traveler, money master in the house, but keep that amongst us girls.
_"Caring for [your husband's] comfort will leave you with immense personal satisfaction"_
If a wife doesn't care about their husband's comfort or it doesn't make her happy to do nice things for him, why is she married to him?
If a man gets immense personal satisfaction from caring about his wife's comfort, that's generally considered a good thing, isn't it?
This story is about women caring for their husbands, not vice versa.
^^Your attitude towards relationships is awful. Smart women, and men, who want successful relationships, take great satisfaction in making their spouses happy, comfortable etc. If the statement was "Caring for [your elderly parent's] comfort will leave you with immense personal satisfaction", or, "Caring for [your child's] comfort will leave you with immense personal satisfaction", no one would object. Why does it suddenly make you a brainwashed slave because it's the person you chose to spend your life with, voluntarily? If anything it should be more important in that case because they are with you by choice, not by family bonds.
It's a natural human emotion to want to do that for people around you. Only a real narcissist would think otherwise. You sound like a narcissist who would marry a narcissist. Good luck with that.
^^ Then that religion has an issue. It's irrelevant to the principles of caring for your spouse and their happiness, comfort, whatever you want to call it. Religions around the world have a litany of issues and I'm not prepared to throw out time honoured principles of relationship and marital success because one religion or the other perverted it.
Rishin Raj. P husbands worked 40 hours a week or more to give his wife a free ride in life. Why shouldn't the wife try to cater to him when he comes home? And why shouldn't she take pride in making her husband feel good? The husband works his life away to support her, and he was able to take pride in it.
I'm still waiting for the flying cars that I was promised 50 years ago
I don't JUST want a flying car either. NO, I want a flying car that will fold up into a briefcase that I can put in my desk
.........and the robot servants.

Exactly, how Messed up is that!!! We're all going to hell in a hand cart especially under the millenial generation! Lol!
I am 67 yrs. old and fondly remember those days. Sorry Charlie.
Bizarre Are the Things People Really Believe Today
Yoda, you are.
ikrrr
Yeah people believe crazy crap these days. Like Biden is a real president, or there are 57 genders, or BLM, as they burn and loot are peaceful protesters,or even that Antifa is really antifacist.
@@JohnSmith-wd9rc Biden is your President, Johnny. Congratulations ;)
@@imcallingjapan2178 Yup. he got 98% of the vote after only two months of counting.
I love it when we judge the things of the past by today's standards. It's just the way it was back then. I could ride my bicycle without a helmet and be gone all day and somehow I survived. How bizarre, how bizarre.
Good for you but not everyone survived.
@@stephenolan5539 The point is, most people didn't even think of those things back then. For example, today, we'd think it lunacy to let our kids ride in the car without being strapped in with a seatbelt, climbing over the seats or standing up on the seat, but back then no one even thought about that. That said, I don't think my parents didn't love me because I rode a bike without a helmet or standing up on a car seat without being strapped in. But in today's thinking, we'd call it child neglect or even abuse.
'Free range children'. As long as I did my choirs I could go for the whole day and get home before dark and no problem. Today if you asked a parent where their child was and he/she didn't know there would be a panic! LOL
@@justanamerican9024 I don't know if that's a good or bad thing considering our modern timez. I don't know if you were LOLing because you were implying that modern parents are sensitive, but I imagine parents of yesteryears didn't think about it much because either they never consider someone or something potentially bad could happen to their kid or it's traditionally just something that kind of happened. Literally certain things are generational things that are just done without literally any thought as to why it's being done.
Edit: Looked it up today and child mortality back then was insane.... Like with that in mind it's a great thing that modern parents are as sensitive as they currently are.
@@marktaylor8659 Yeah, I find myself thinking about that a lot. Like, you don't want to just be pointing the finger like "haha, they were so dumb" when they literally just didn't know and it kind of misses the point of the period we're in. It feels like when you're reevaluating the past you aren't just supposed to compare it towards yourself and modernity, but also engage and consider more of the things you have today. Like, you don't know what thing or idea may become antiquated in another couple years.
I would like to point something out. Old advertising and TV commercials did not accurately reflect the way it was. In fact , they did not even come close. To utilize old television commercials as evidence of the way it was , is tantamount to viewing Saturday morning "Loony Tunes" cartoons as an accurate representation of life in the 40's and 50's. In fact , dramatic feature movies rarely if ever bore a resemblance to life as it was. Only as dreamers wished it were......conclusion: If you are taking this piece of so-called journalism seriously , you should have your head examined, because "som-ting WONG !"
Nothing bizarre about those things, I remember the good old days, time to bring those things back
*So basically people in the 60's had balls.*
Men did, women didn't and the twain were never confused!
I remember as a child back in the 60"s crawling up into the back window area and sleeping there.
Lmoa ,I remember doing that and waving at the cops on the highway
Yup. I did not know I loved those station wagons until now. There were a lot of fun times back then. Actually I prefer to remember the good times rather then the bad. Black people were not the only ones who endured atrocities during the civil rights movement. Hispanics got it too if you lived in Tenn or really any place outside of the southwest and California....
@@paulmyatte4197 omg, me too

@@nekiyia Neither were my mom, my grandmothers or their friends. A lot of men were slaves to horrible jobs they hated because they saw supporting their wife and family as their side of the deal.
@@nekiyia The roles have either reversed, or both parties are wage slaves, due to the government's oppressive taxes and "Globalism."
@@TheKidFromYTown Boy you got that right.

@@im1who84u the grave marker uNkkkown
In 2021 idiots making videos like this seem to have ditched the idea that people back then were generally happier, due to having grown up in stable families, having secure jobs, being better educated, and that their fathers did not spend all day complaining about the coffee. They were just good old Dad.
@@im1who84u News flash: human beings are not commodities....
@@triciabolster8235 I think you'll find you are mistaken otherwise TV advertising would be pointless!
The best thing about growing up in the 60's and 70's...no personal computers, cell phones, cars were basic transportation. Now....complete opposite, where's my PHONE! My car's infotainment screen is slow, these planes are so cramped! I am glad I was born in the 50's!

just use folgers or maxwell house and stay away from starbucks. problem solved.
@@kevindickson2178 So true. Folgers and Maxwell House are good, I agree. My usual choice is Hills Bros (original Mild) I have to have mine black (due to my lactose intolerance) with just a little sugar, so HB mild works best for me.
Yes indeed
How I miss the good old days
"Smoking cigarettes is glamorous" and "Doctors recommend Camel".
@ burgers at $0.39 with fries, coffee and cigarettes.
Till they found out smoking Joe camel was lama ,the jump was a tumor
Yeah - Look up the Flintstones cigarette ads for Winstons, here on you Tube.
Amazing how many people who think smoking cigarettes in the 60's was horrible, are all for smoking pot today.
@ when I was still a kid people were doing that and that was 2001 -2002
Went through the entire 1970s as a kid and never wore a sit belt....Dad would sometimes have to pull the car over and spank us, nobody stopped and reported him....but it did immediately stopped our bad behavior once we got back into the car... ah the wonderful & carefree 1970s, what a time to be a kid!!!
Cracked the windshield in our car when we got in a wreck and I wasn't wearing a seat belt. Ended up OK but wouldn't want it to happen again.
So glad a lot of these habits/behaviors probably will die out in half a century through socialization if we're even still here.
So if a wife was nice to her husband that's bad?
I wish I had this time back.
50 years ago would be 1969. That Good Wife's Guide with the "bow in your hair" was from 1955.
Paul Lynde having a wife (at 4:22). Now that is bizarre and crazy to believe!
He didn't really hide it!
Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn were both Fay, so Hollywood set up a ruse; she was his "Skirt', he was her "Beard'.
It was only a 'strange' time if you didn't live then. It was the way things were, kind of like things are now.
It was a wonderful time to grow up.
Imagine in 50 years when they look back at us and think of how bizarre we are now, thinking men can be woman and woman can be men, “nut jobs” lol
All men can be one woman? Yeah complete nut jobs alright.
Nut jobs?
That is some progressive thinking you have there, Champ.
@@beezer1225 , he's cursed with sanity.
@@bobtaylor170
He's cursed alright.
Not with sanity though.
beezer1225 No, just the most basic common sense known to man
The craziest thing they believed was that in the 2000's humans would be smarter peaceful and free of worries....and of course the flying car thing
And a cure for cancer! What a laugh!
It wasn’t like today most women didn’t work outside their homes so taking care of their families was their full time jobs. Job satisfaction is important and so is taking care of those you love no matter what you do for a living.
Lawn darts, drinking from the garden hose, my mom smoke cigarettes while pregnant with me. Baby oil instead of sunscreen. Yet I survived.
My mom dropped acid, didn't know she was preggo!
oh you cant play lawn darts anymore lol
nowadays we have to pretend that looks don't matter
Who does that? Any remotely attractive woman is immediately swarmed
but looks really don't matter now. have you seen some of the girls in walmart?
I'm not a looker or head turner at 61..I would had made a terrible stewardess though.
In conclusion. Dam , I miss the 60's
By the way, "try the coffee" "oh your coffees a real treat" , the husband in that clip is Paul Lynda who was in Hollywood squares but who was also as far from being a husband to a woman as anyone... He was super gay is what I'm saying here. Funny guy too !
*Lynde
I love Paul Lynde. I remember watching him on "Hollywood Squares". He was always the center square!
Regardless of what you say, stewardesses made flights much more pleasant. Today you’re lucky to get a “flight attendant” that isn’t 60 yrs old, weighs 210 pounds, combs her hair, and will actually smile on occasion.
After thoroughly viewing your video you made me fully realize how much better the 60's were. Thanks!
pmafterdark Tell that to black Americans
If you were a white male, sure.
Yeah! The sixties! I remember those years well and no they weren't bizarre, today however is bizarre, incongruous, disagreeable, disjointed, strange, outlandish, weird and abnormal.
Yeah I agree with you 100%
@Justin nobody79 Only sucks for men, because now women don't have to drink that shit cool-aid anymore. 🤣
@@LadyCoyKoi Believe me, you're drinking plenty of it. You just haven't realized it yet.
agreed.
Only white people miss the 60s. They weren't so great for black people.
It looks like most of this is about stuff people did in the '40s and '50s. Things changed a lot in the late '60s (50 years ago).
Can't compete with strange things they believe now.
“Pilots can be homely and bald.” Some things haven’t changed!
Phew, I was concerned about that, more so than whether or not they could fly the damn plane!
@@TheKidFromYTown none that I know...
So can doctors----For the women, it's all about the Benjamins.
Now our women are homely and bald.
And the flying public dressed nicely and didn't stink and had much better manners.
I remember in the 1960s that you could actually smoke cigarettes on a plane.
You could smoke in the movies, elevators, bars, bus stops, the hospital and even the grocery store! And a pack of smokes were 35 cents
Lol now we know that you would kill everyone on the plane with second hand smoke before landing..if the plane did not explode..yeah..was so ridiculous then..yeah..
Well I'm glad that doesn't happen anymore. Sickening
Lenny Anders In Texas people smoked in Church!
You could still smoke on certain overseas flights up to about 20 years ago - depending on the airline.
I am trying to figure out why trying to make your husband happy is a bad thing.
Having a stay at home mom prepare a meal for the breadwinner kept divorce rates far lower than this current screwed up generation.
I am a woman who grew up in those times, This article/video is nonsense.
Yes, can you imagine a world where women never went to work! Mass inflation would have never happened. Someone would always be there for the kids. Jobs would have to be extremely lucrative, as there would be limited labor. Can you imagine!
I was t that
Working class women have always gone to work. Not working at that time was only for the lucky in the middle class and up.
My mother went to work as a teacher until my parents went to the effort to get my sister and me. Her mother worked until pregnant. I do not know as much about my father's side, but I assume that matters were roughly the same. Women who were not gainfully employed were expected to volunteer, however, to the extent that they could.
"The cure for nostalgia is to read history."
- Garrison Keillor.
Too true. I personally despise modern society, but in most ways it's better than fifty years ago.
Nostalgia is a form of brain damage found in most humans. It causes us to forget bad stuff while over amplifying good feelings. It's what causes us to want to get back with an ex, while forgetting why they are an ex to begin with.
Nice quip, but it doesn't work.
@@bradleycaffee4253. Why not?
Because nostalgia is intrinsically non-objective and selective. If a person had a lived experience that was more good than bad in, say the 1960s, then they will remember the 1960s fondly regardless anything else negative going on in other quarters.
Likewise with people fantasizing about the past. It's selective and non-objective by intrinsic nature. People are never really fantasizing about the whole world in any case, including the whole world during a particular past time period. They are fantasizing about a particular imagined experience, which includes a period aesthetic.
Oh, you mean when things actually worked.
Sadly anyone under 35 has zero recollection of a time when stewardesses were beautiful young ladies who made sure passengers looked forward to their flights!
When flying was a real adventure with room for your legs and feet and you were treated a little special. Miss those days. I won't fly now unless I absolutely need to.
@@deborahdeborah8724 And people dressed like they were going to dinner and not to the gym.
the surly hags they have now could use a razor and a breath mint before asking if you would like a beverage too.....flying is no longer the experience it used to be. it has become as comercialized as wallmart.
The Good Old Days!
Yes, if you were a man!
@@catherinebirch2399 women got their free ride back then, men took care of them. Now you have mgtow and woman are more unhappy then ever.
back in the days when advertising still thought that it would be a good idea to advertise weight loss equipment showing the people who would actually buy it, rather than those who never were out of shape to begin with, or got back into it by using something else.
And a dime would buy what a dollar does now.
Dave Hopping minimum wage was about $1 an hour.
I don’t know where you are shopping!
And a dime was harder to earn too! Minimum wage was a dollar in the 60’s
Easier to earn,actually,The Sixties Kids concentrated on learning every four-letter word there was,with only two exceptions...."Work". And "Soap". They passed that lack of knowledge onto their Millenial grandkids.
By that I meant we worked harder for less. Not a genetic trait unfortunately
Realize that back then women didn’t have to work. Being a mother was still a typical mindset of many women. The Feminist Movement was mostly in the big city and small town America only saw that as magazine articles and headlines on occasion.
Up to the late 70’s and early 80’s the second income was extra income. Nicer homes & cars could be have with a second income. It wasn’t until the late 80’s when big business realized there were more and more 2 income families and that triggered prices going up because we now could afford to pay more.
Now 2nd and 3rd incomes are almost mandatory considering that cell phones, cable TV & Internet sate now a way of life and not optional.
THE NEXT BIG THING: Moving from states we were born and raised in because we can’t afford to live in California, New York, Washington etc
You need to do a video about the crazy things that people believe today.
Like covering a body in tattoos is as beautiful as not, having a butt so wide and sticking out so much you can sit a drink on it while standing is beautiful, and that Bruce Jenner is really a woman.
If a woman chooses to stay home, her job is to keep the house looking good and to fix meals. It's not oppression, it's part of the job description of being a homemaker.
50 years ago, cars didn't get crushed like a soda can after an accident like today.
Drunk driving was off the charts!
Sure, in the 60s, the car might survive even if the driver got killed. Better now that the car gets killed and the driver walks away.
That old belief about women is still around, their need to freshen their make up.
I love the analogy
old beliefs aren't always wrong, touch up that makeup you yeti
Yeah, now they just announce to the room “Hey I’m goin ta take a dump” then they go squat right next to a man who’s wearing a dress...Yeah people were crazy back when...🤣🙈🤣
Some people still think they can pass off speculation for fact.
A little ammendment to the seatbelt topic. The seatbelt as standard equipment started in 68 but it was lap belt only. I owned a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 and it only came with the lap belt; the shoulder strap was optional. I used to get pulled over and ticked so often because the cops didn't know the law that I had to track down the shoulder strap option so I didn't have to keep going to court to get the ticket thrown out. The shoulder strap locked into the lap belt sort of like a 5 point harness and had to be manually tightened and once tight wouldn't move because it didn't coil at the end like belts today.
Also, if a seatbelt was optional on your vehicle you can't get a ticket if you don't have one but you can get a ticket if it is equipped and you choose not to wear it.
Our new 1965 VW came with mandated lap belts. Illinois later passed a law requiring seat belts to be retrofit in all cars 1960 or newer.
@@elultimo102 Many states remained in line with the federal regulations, which was the case with my state. I have no idea how the other individual states handled things.
Yeah but were women more happy back then than they are now?
Let's see. Having your material and financial needs taken care of by someone adores you and thinks of you the most wonderful person in his life. Or saddled with all the responsibilities of a full time job. Spending your later years sitting around with your spinster career girl friends wondering why you single.

'Back then, nobody fussed if you smoked while being pregnant!'

The vibration machines were sold for weight loss to women, but that’s not exactly why they bought them...
Sly!
In 2070: Bizarre things people really believed 50 years ago
The top entry will be that diversity is our strength
@@ClickClack_Bam lol amazing. so true. 2nd place by a narrow margin would be gender is a social construct and men and women are the same.
And we'll all be lumped into that stupidity. Theyll think everyone thought the world was flat
@@ClickClack_Bam That male & female are social constructs; that Marxism works better than Communism; that the 21st will be a Chinese century; that centralized power betters people's lives; that limited immigration is immoral; that Western Civilization is a source of evil; that manmade climate change will make humanity extinct by the end of the century; that Barack Obama was a great president; that Howard Zin & Noam Chomsky are great intellectuals; that being woke is the beacon of enlightenment; that defining people by their race, ethnicity, sex, religion, etc. produces greater tolerance; that the tobacco industry is the most immoral industry on Earth; that Medicare for All is feasible in the United States; that. the government not coercing funding things you support is tantamount to denying people access to those things while not funding legal things you oppose does not deny people access to those things; that all religions are equally.violent and oppressive; that all cultures have equal value (e.g., gamelan music is as advanced as European classical music); that women make less money in the Western world for doing the same work as men; that gender studies, LGBTQ studies, women's studies, and ethnic studies are worthwhile.subjects to major in ; that U.S. education is underfunded; that a college education is not the sham it actually often is.
@J Smith I was thinking more like, 'believing climate change was a hoax.'
back again and again to same theme - women and their place in society. You ran out of ideas after you had one?
The husband was usually the bread winner and it's an old very tradition that the bread winner had to get the best food and care, lest he gets ill and the family ends up starving.
makes total sense
aaaaaaahhhhhh virtue signalling via judging the past through the lense of today. good times.
Stewardesses had to be unmarried and childless, and on average quit after a year and a half.
A hundred years earlier, the Pony Express included the line "orphans preferred" in their job recruiting ads. And the Pony Express itself only operated for nineteen months.
History doesn't actually repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
How many today waiting for the mothership to land?!...
At least they didn't stare at their stupid phones all day.
i googled stewardess & it says that it's the same thing as flight attendants
@rob yohn Agreed. I can't even joke about something without someone getting offended.
And Leon's getting larrgerr
People still believe crazy chit.
You know a guy was expected to play his role too. The family pay check, day in ties and suits, and always buck up little camper; a reputation meant the difference between starvation and food. Since the sixties people have been becoming as a population less responsible and more victims.
People believe bizzare things now..... the more things change the more they stay the same
Australia was the first country to make it a law to wear seat belts & that was my state of Victoria in 1970.
I'm glad we have gun control laws. At least kids in Australia can go to school without fear of a mass shooting, we learned from our last mass shooting in 1996. Your bloody country doesn't care how many people die from mass shootings, as long asyouhave your stupid military weapons.
What cars before the 1960s, besides the Tucker had seatbelts, even as an option?
I've worked on literally hundreds of cars that age and older and have yet to ever see one with seat belts that "would be cut out by customers"...
The Tucker was far, far ahead of its time. It even had a third headlight in the center of the hood that swivelled with the steering wheel
*TurboHawkV6* You're quite right. I don't know where they came up with that "by _1949..."_ nonsense. Seat belts in cars didn't become mandatory until _1968,_ although they became standard---in the front seat only. So aside from the 50 Tucker 48s that were produced with seat belts, nobody could've been tired of them. I bought my first car (used) in 1958 when they weren't even optional, but installed "aircraft-type lap belts" in my second and third cars, which were small English cars, because I valued my carcass. From then on, every car I've ever owned was equipped with them, including complete, mandatory, quick-release 4-point harnesses in my race cars. I'll watch the rest of this and if there are too many of these typical un-researched gaffes, I give it the old Thumbs Down.
I'd say to my husband then YOU make the coffee!
And he would, and it would be better, and that would piss you off also.
It’s in the Bible: He brews!
Even back when those commercials were new, most people thought they were stupid and offensive, and said the same thing - “Then YOU make the coffee!”
Grounds for divorce. Actually that is why they are called coffee grounds - not many people realise that.
The vibrating machines idea was When You where On A Diet a you used the machine on the area you wanted the fat to break up at a particular problem area on your body , I hate it when people don't know what there talking about.
What scared me was the Seventeen book of etiquette telling girls that the words they used didn’t matter..
On the plus side people knew how to control their emotions in public and it was a Karen free world.
Pro-Tip: Only the weight loss machine remains inaccurate. Your generations's war against nature, and against common sense, is definitely an unending source of laughing last for those in the know....
Bruh you’re saying we shouldn’t wear seatbelts? That treating each other like equals isn’t natural? Yikes.
@@2008-wii-remote
Men aren't women, or vice versa.
It isn't getting colder because it's getting hotter, or vice versa.
Homo Sapiens pretending to be herbivores is not a healthy lifestyle.
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.
Not all cultures are equal. Some are unquestionably superior to others.
Natural Human revulsion toward homosexuality is not "homophobia", or any "phobia" of any kind.
The Republican Party is not, nor has it ever been, a political organization that espouses or endorses slavery, racism, Fascism, or Nazism. Republicans are not obsessed with skin color or other matters of birth. That would be the DemocRAT Party.
I will continue, once you have had some time to absorb these incontrovertible facts.
@Rishin Raj. P
Treating people like equals is not what leftists do. Socialists seek to divide on any petty difference they can put their grubby hands on. It is their sole source of power.
That sort of thing thing is a lot more common though, among American Constitutional Conservatives.
Slanderous DemocRAT lies not withstanding.
Personally, as a rule, I treat other individuals as equals. Depending of course, on the individual.
Long as somebody acts like a Human Being, I treat them as such.
Now that I've answered your question, which of my statements do you disagree with?
@Rishin Raj. P
Equal is not a synonym for identical.
Also, under the Constitution, I have a Right to associate with, or disassociate FROM anyone I see fit, for any reason I see fit.
If, for example, I don't care for the company of homosexuals, I simply will not associate with homosexuals.
I'm the only one with any say in the matter.
And no, I'm not going to regard a pedophile of any brand as an equal.
Again, nobody's call but my own.
If I were a businessman who wanted to present as good a face as possible to the public, then I will hire the most attractive people I can find. If the people whose business I am seeking don't like that, then I won't be in business for very long.
But I'll sink or swim making my own decisions.
Nobody else has any say at all in the matter.
Same way if I don't want to wear a seatbelt, then I'm not going to wear a damned seatbelt. Some sorry-assed control freak doesn't like it, the can take their sorry control freak ass somewhere else and mind their own frickin' business.
Yeah, I remember that butt-shaking machine. It was sometimes written into comedy movies and TV shows, showing it to be the joke that it was in real life. :)
I started wearing a seat belt in 1970, it has never bothered me at all.
I have never worn them.
It's my life ,And no one gets out alive, law makers dont have the right to tell me how to life my life, how many times have I been booked over the last forty years ? Resently I bought a seat belt activator ( stops the annoying sound a modern car makes when you don't put your seat belt on)
When I was 5, I had my own bedroom now Im 65 and my room is much smaller.
Yeah, people hired female employees based on their looks, unlike today. Crazy, uh?
Families in general were much happier back then with the way it was. Not to mention that the middle class was a lot stronger and most fathers could maintain their families on a single income.
Now you have got both parents working with little time for the kids, a high divorce rate and lots of "super-women" who end up lonely and depressed drinking themselves blind when no one is around.
The superwomen are made cause men are weaker
Yep...men fucked up when they gave women equal rights and pushed them into the workforce. Everything went to shit afterwards.
Theres no proof they were happier back than, other than what you see in tv and movies. There was horrid, blatant racism, wives and children being beaten, unequal job opportunities. Ridiculous religious beliefs enforced. Closeted gay people marrying straight people.
Ask any black person how lovely life was 50 years ago.
Simpler, yes. But not better or happier.
@@LilyOfTheTower religious beliefs were not forced on anyone. Where are u getting that from. What person was Imprisoned cause they didnt attend church? It wasnt the 1600s
And dL men are dL cause THEY WANNA BE just as ladies men who marry and still cheat
@@jpollar i disagree with ur equal rights line. There should be equal work for equal pay but im not a feminist
Talking to plants was believed to improve their growth. Also playing music in barns kept the cattle relaxed.
So, I suppose people in TV commercials now behave in ways that totally reflect the way people behave in real life? I think not. And any husband acting like the ones in those coffee commercials would have been asking for a lap full of hot coffee.
Bizarre things people really believe in 2019
He He He I'm 83 and I still cut the seat belts out of the cars I buy. I also remember that men were allowed to beat their wives as long as they "didn't go too far". Teens were expected to "put out" or face ridicule from their classmates. Married women were expected to do whatever their husbands wanted both in the bedroom and elsewhere or the husband would have grounds for divorce. "You've come a long way Baby"..
