    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.

    Ok.



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

    Is this just a random thread where we spout whatever fantasy we wish?

    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.

    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.

    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.
