Check your facts, partner. It's pretty obvious that your only objective on this one was to be inflammatory. Ahban made a good point. Your rebuttal shows that you don't have a clue about American history. It's your freedom to speak. But if you want people to listen, back your speech with a little education.

So you don't agree that the suicide rate of married women was higher in the 1950s than it is today, or that teen pregnancy rates were higher or that racial inequality was rampant?

I get sick of people pointing to the 1950s as some kind of "golden age" of US history because more often than not they are referring to life in 1950s sitcoms and not reality. Yes, some things were arguably better in the 1950s -- it doesn't mean that life was perfect.
