Not when I was growing up in it. What could ever be wrong with June Cleaver?

Yes! It is a culture where 7 of every 1000 people are in prison! Look at these statistics. It sickens me: http://www.nationmaster.com/red/country/us-united-states/cri-crime&all=1

The Eisenhower years of the 50s were pretty sedate but everything seemed to come unglued in the 60s after JFK's assassination. I don't think the cultural revolution of the 60s was wrong. It was a spontaneous awakening in the arts, music, literature, and the media.

I always hated how boys and girls weren't allowed to do the same things. My dad never let me play with boys, I still hate it. That culture is ridiculous, or how men are encouraged to have pre-marital sex but not women. Hello?? who are the men going to have sex WITH??

'Exotic' looking models weren't as prevalent as they are today. Exotic looking women weren't considered as beautiful as they are now.

Well, I knew, even then, that the "bigger, better, faster" materialism of the 70's was wrong. It did not make sense. I was aware of the situation in the rest of the world and in many parts of America. The lack of concern with natural resources also did not make sense. I mean, really, they are not inexhaustible, at least fossil fuels. Many Americans tended to be, and still are to a degree, rather ethnocentric, thinking that they are better than others. I find that very wrong. Personally, there was something wrong growing up in a society that thought that I was wrong and treated me that way just because of my ethnicity.

Yes, but I see even more wrong with the culture I am raising my children in. :(

Yes, I think there is something fundamentally wrong with any culture that isn't founded on love and brotherhood of all.

Yes. Materialistic, self-serving, patriotic middle-class bastards.

when people have to hustle for money to have a place to live, when kids are getting in trouble with the law all the time, when we have wars with no good explanation why, there is a problem.

It is my firm belief, that no matter who you are, or where you came from, your past is just as screwed up as mine. Everyone, no matter who they are, will always be wrong to someone else somewhere. Everyone goes through good times and bad, smiles and cries, and has just as weird a family and culture as everyone else!
