Perspective.

Howard Roark

1990 was 40 years ago. We are closer to 2050 than we are to 1990. Just think about that.

We're closer to the hovercar than we are to moon landing I.

Cold War never ended when you really think it over.



Respect means less than it never did and money means more.

tell your loved ones what you think of them before it's too late because if you never try then they never did either.

How long have you been asleep?

fineso.mom

Ok.



But 1990 was only 25 years ago. Do I still need to tell people I love them ?

I hope for your sake that there are calculators around in 2050.

You can talk, having been asleep long enough for a cat to evolve into a man!

1990 wasn't 40 years ago, it was 140 years ago.

Thanks for listening everyone.

1990 is big, but 2050 is far away.

It's a bear market out there at the moment, I would look into Exxon, Shell, US treasury bonds and if you have a good bit of capital then gold.

I like the look of these new real estate investment trusts too but that's just me.

Father Ted is older now than Fawlty Towers was when Father Ted started.

OP, you've accidentally gone back in time 15 years.

Did you take a Delorean home instead of a taxi?

Oh they took something alright.

But I don't think it was a Delorean.

That's all clod hopping sh1te, particularly the inability to count from 1990 but the greatest nonsense is that you date backwards to the moon landing and forwards to the introduction of a mythical hover car.

(Hover car should be here now in any case).

The notion of "Linear" time is rather odd and peculiar to Judaeo-Christian societies. Most of the World's great cultures have or had a cyclical view of time, a bit like a circular buffer Round-Robin-database type of thing-a-majigg.

Sure. We've already done that in several parallel Universes, might as well do a couple more and get what astrophysicists call Quasared.

The word "late" is abused and overused. Whether one is "late" or work is "early" depends entirely on your frame-of-reference.

It's hard to believe that today was already 30 years ago.

Hitchhiking The Galaxy One Last Time - Douglas Adams

'The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.'

Zach Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar) is now the same age as Mr Belding (Dennis Haskins) was during Saved by the Bell.

20 years ago Arnie and Stallone had just released True Lies and Demolition Man. 20 years from now they'll be nearly 90 and more than likely dead.

Johnny Depp & Brad Pitt will be in their 70's.

I'll still be talking shíte in my 50's

Brilliant post. So ahead of its time.

I always wished that I was born on the ninth year of a decade.

I was born in the early 80s but if you were born in 1989, then you are only 26 but have lived within 4 decades, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s. I know it means nothing but I just think it's kind of cool.
