Read my first post, I did say without the racism. No doubt there are great things about the present , and thank god were moving past all the awfulness you mentioned but overall, humans are much more angry, cynical, greedy, and of course far more materialistic than years past. Most families don't sit down for dinner anymore or talk with one another because parents are two busy working, providing a two parent income, to uphold this gluttony. Gotta have two cars, big house, 300 cable channels, a boat and a pool ya know-no matter what. A gluttonous world we have become. I am a great producer of this gluttony myself.
Chivalry isn't about indebtedness in the least, it's about respect. Oh god I can see the post coming now with that one. In my personal experience, men who think as you are often very angy towards woman in general and often times angry at the world as well. Not to say that you are of course, but just my experience.
Getting back to the topic of this thread. It's always fun to reminisce about that past. There are days when I wish there was no internet, cell phones, cable and there are days when I'm glad I have it. Yet I do long for a time when things were built to last, the day lasted longer because we weren't so overly engrossed in instant communication, and when the intoxication of drama wasn't so prevailing. Perhaps a more simple time I suppose? Yet this simple time/mentality often bread some really stupid unrealistic ideals as well. If only I could pick and choose.
