How do you know they are not Americans?
What's your definition of an American?
Well,the topic is about back in the day for the most part.....Remember when!
And back in the day 70`s,80`s....I don`t remember Middle eastern people taking airplanes and flying them through buildings here in America.
I don`t remember seeing groups like Isis and al queda back in the 70`s and 80`s.
Everyday someone from Isis and Al Queda groups are killing off people like it`s nothing.
It`s horrible.
The 70`s and 80`s were peaceful in my opinion.
I remember leaving the front door open.
Shit,i don`t think anyone had a security system back in those days...LOL.
I remember walking on the ave and no store had gates...LOL.
Put it this way....I loved the 70`s and 80`s great times.
It wasn`t safe on 911.
It wasn`t safe at the Boston marathon.
It wasn`t safe 2 days ago.......
At least 137 people were killed and 357 wounded when suicide bombers, pretending to be disabled and hiding explosives under casts, attacked the mosques in Sanaa, according to Yemen's state-run Saba news agency.
No stats back that up.....

So you long for the days when there was more violence because they were not exactly the same news stories as these?
And you turned in into a USA hating, racist, political topic, so I'll just move it.
I remember when a gallon of gas (regular) was 29 cents a gallon
A loaf of bread was 29 cents.
A night out with your parents was a treat, now everyone eats out almost daily.
I remember when, there were only a handful of kids that were chubby in school, now over 33% of kids in an elementary school in the US are overweight.
I remember when a soda was a treat and you really could only drink just one, now it's a six pack and you are still thirsty.
I remember when you could go to a drive in movie theatre and actually get you some, now there are hardly any drive in movie theatres, you could see two feature movies and if you missed any of the first one, it would repeat before the crack of Dawn.
I remember when a great looking chick was probably straight, nowadays you don't know if it's a transexual or not.
I remember when getting called by telemarketers was usually from someone who spoke decent english, now you can't understand them so it gives you less time to hang up on them, just click.
I remember when if you had to call someone you had to have a dime, now you just carry around your hundred dollar something cell phone while you are driving or walking or you can text them and walk into a trash can or into another person while you are walking, when just going to a pay phone you could stand in one place for a bit to talk.
I remember when, you went to the grocery store, you actually got decent fruits and vegatables to pick through, now everything has some additive in it to keep the shelf life longer and you have to worry if the food is gluten free or not!
I remember when if a chicks underwear were bigger than your head, you knew she'd be a big girl eventually, now, most chicks wear thongs or no underwear and if they shave it, you get the worse facial burns if your eyesight is going bad like mine.
I remember when a car was made only in the US and most good paying manufacturing jobs were in the US, now all my clothes say, "made in korea or china".
I remember when blue jeans were $8 for a nice pair of Levi's, today you can get that same pair at Abercrombie and Fitch with 5 or six holes in them for $60!! WTF!!

You can, as they say, "look it up yourself".
Exactly:
Violent crime is waaaay down over the past 25 years, and is lower now than in 1970

When there was only one parent working to support a family of 4
When going to college didnt set you back $120,000
A job was available anywhere .......that making $15,000 a year meant something today for a family thats worse than welfare recipients who get cash n food and health care.
Remember the mass murders back then ? How many were there ?Like 911 or when some nut job walked into his former employers place and blasted away everyone just because?
YES there was crime back then but today the robberies have gone through the roof ever since millions were put out of work and Made in america dosent exist anymore!
I dont know where you guys minds are at talking about the safer world today and other bs of statistics. Like when do you remeber anyone attacking dozens of people in a movie theater 60's 70's 80's 90's ???
I just want to feel safe again on the streets instead of walking around constantly turning my head like i have ball joint in my neck and my hand is wrapped around a weapon at all times ready to strike whoever attacks me.
