I suppose it's better than stuff that happened in the 60s and 70s though. And of course the 30s and 40s weren't good because of the depression and the war. The 20s were pretty good..except a big problem was prohibition. I agree with GM that the 50s were pretty good though. Anyway..
I can't believe...well I can..but it's just appalling at how violent some people are. I don't think I could ever do that to someone, no matter how much I hated them. I don't know where these people get it, probably how they were raised, but still, I don't understand it.
