I was born in the mid early 90s, many people might disagree with me but it was the best era to be born considering the boom in late 00's by the time I finished school I know exactly what path to take considering educating myself. I know many a people who have entered constriction around that time and is struggling to find work now. Hopefully I.T does not take the same route.

Nah man. Never felt like that because let's fact facts, even 500 years ago there would have been some 5ft guy having a nice position within a clan telling blokes to go fight the other clan. Sending them to their deaths. You know yourself.

I know where you are coming from. Taking abuse from someone who in any other situation you would wipe the floor with them. I don't say that as some asshole trying to come off hard. Just the reality of things. But like today and just like the past. We eat crap and move forward.

While the world changes.... it also doesnt.

I kinda feel I should have been born around 2353.

I would have liked to have been born into my grandfathers time in the teen 1900s.

Things seemed a lot clearer in those days. Men were men and sported mustaches and smoked tobacco.

These days they seem limp wristed. Blokes with low testosterone levels following the lib rules. We've seen it on college campus's. What gives I tell ya What Gives!!!!

We're way way way way down on the worldwide third level ladder.

Only superficially. The fashion in bygone eras can be divine. But well it was so much harder and unjust.



I would like to be born in a utopian future realistically. I am ahead of my time and I want to live in star trek.

No Internet or electricity and smoking tobacco (mmm no thanks)

Are men not men today? without the handlebars.

500 years ago a lot of posters here would be tortured and executed for your atheist ways

And rightly so!

You should be grateful you live in the age of 'the state' you pretend to hate or you may well have been executed too in times passed.

No they're not men at all, they use lib words and call women women instead of broads.

Granted some men outside of the third level spectrum still act like men but I think they're a dying breed. That beautiful culture is on life support.

I've seen it first hand in UL. Lib dominated.

I should have been born 10 years earlier, I missed out on the acid house, warehouse raves, they-dont-make'em-like-they-usedta days. Caught the tail end of it all-right, but it's gone to **** these days.

Well done son keep it up. I know from correspondence with other boards members that there's a few of us younger guys on the site practicing the old traditions. Living and telling it like it is brother.

No I was glad I was born in the 80's I wouldn't mind been born a bit sooner or later into the 80's nearer 90's. :pac:

The only thing I don't like about the 80's is that I was born into a recession, grew up in the celtic tiger times and graduated from college into a recession!

This is the best era to live in by far. Even through our economy isnt the best. It still beats the 70-80s in Ireland, when it took 12 years for unemployment to fall below 13%. Irish society has never been so liberal. We can now talk about things that 20 years ago you would not consider talking about eg Divorce, Abortion, being gay. Ireland has never been so free to live in. We no longer have an obsessive government being controlled by the catholic church(it still has a lot of influence).

But I think it would have been cool to live in the booming 1950s in the US, in a city like NYC. When the US was the dominate economy of the world(40% of the worlds GDP). Where it was rapidly changing to become a progressive country eg civil rights.

Ya that trues alright!

When I hear people say things like this it just seems to show a lack of adaptability and perspective. Human evolution and societal advancement is not marked by physicality and , it has been defined by intelligence and sociability. We got the brains while out simian relatives got the brawn. If you think that men should stick to some arbitrary template based on an ideal from 100 years ago for who knows what reason, rather than embrace the emerging social diversity that marked latter half of the 20th century, then I think that you weren't just born in the wrong era, you born into the wrong species.

Then there are the fortunate few who got the brains and the brawn.

I'm not going to lie to you chief, it's a pretty great experience.

Now, have to dash, my daughter has invited me to a tea party.

We have romantic notions of the past but bar being born into royalty it was a hard way to live. I'd take modern medicine over being a king or emperor any day of the week.
