I found a picture of an average male in the 1950s

America was 92% White Anglo Saxon Europeans in the 1950s. It is what the founding fathers wanted for America. A White Anglo Saxon nation. Man could work in a factory, buy a house, a car, and the wife would stay at home and take care of the kids. Life was GREAT. People left their doors unlocked. They didn't have to worry about THIS..

I used to be a Liberal Democrat, but I will be voting Trump this election. America is falling apart, we need to make it great again.

rofl, flagpole is so brainwashed by the Jewtube and Aspartame that he thinks things are better today because he has 300 channels to flick thru to find nothing on TV instead of a half dozen..

More whites are murdered by blacks each year in the USA than the total number of blacks that have ever been lynched in the USA.

National media never talks about that, but STILL whines about the virtually non-existent KKK(less than 1000 members and almost all of those are FEDS or the SPLC(.

"Look honey, the Wilson's left their bedroom window open! What'd ya say we sneak in and try on their clothes?"

I think what Jamin was trying to suggest was elucidated better by Mark Steyn:

"Americans and other Westerners who want their families to enjoy the blessings of life in a free society should understand that the life we've led since 1945 in the Western World is very rare in human history.

Our children are unlikely to enjoy anything so placid and may well spend their adult years in an ugly and savage world, unless we decide that who and what we are is worth defending."

Certainly here in Europe, by the respective birth rates alone, Europe will inevitably and quite soon become another part of the world with a Muslim majority, with all that implies.

I understand the white American is also not producing enough children to maintain even their current population numbers.

Apart from that, all the major economies in the world are carrying levels of debt never experienced in (peacetime) history and the central banks are buying their nation’s debts by printing money out of thin air.

And you Yanks will be left with the choice of either Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for president - out of a nation of 330 million!

I sense we who have lived and worked in the period from the 50’s to now have seen the best of times.

life expectancy for white men increased by 8 years from 1950 to 2000, from 67 to 75 (47 years in 1900), while life expectancy for black men increased from 59 to 68 (33 years in 1900).

Are you the same jamin from TrackShark?

POS one car garage. F that.

Not true. There is always a baseline of complicatedness and the baseline has increased a lot since the 50s.

What has become more complicated?

That's life expectancy at birth. I wonder what happened to life expectancy at conception.

10/10. Strait out of the trolling 101 handbook.

Aw c'mon, everyone today is fat and they eat nothing but soybeans and corn syrup. Yeah they eat antiobiotics, so many that all the dread pathogens are becoming untreatable. Antivirals do no good because viruses won't stay localized due to everyone running around on airplanes. Normally self-limiting diseases like ebola now become epidemics. Anxiety and every other "disorder" is treated by psychoactive, life-altering drugs.

Huge amounts of money are poured down the drain on treatment of old-age conditions like cancer and heart disease, and nearly nothing goes toward keeping people healthy when they're young. Drug companies price gouge, the insurance industry rips everyone off and doctors and hospitals charge an arm and a leg for even a simple diagnostic visit.

All of which are inferior to 50's rock and roll. Modern entertainment consists mainly of browsing the internet looking for things to get hopping mad about.

Life wasn't better, but it was simpler. My dad built me a hockey rink, and I was on skates at 3. I ran to school.

Wake up, and enjoy life, Jamin.

1990 - My mom had a fridge, oven, microwave, and toaster

Life wasn't better, but it was simpler. My dad built me a workbench, and I was building model airplanes by age 6. I ran to school.

You've got me convinced. I'll also vote for Trump; then leave the country because I'm neither White or an moran.

You are just so wrong it isn't even funny. No one is saying that today is perfect, brother, but compared to the 50s...holy crap who would want to go back to a life of ignorance? There are SO many advances in science and just general knowledge since then.

Life expectancy for a male in the US in 1950 was 65. Lead in tons of things, horrible chemicals used that are banned today. You are so incorrect about anxiety drugs...many are life-altering, yes, but in a very good way. I do think that too many people are on them, but for people who have real issues with anxiety or panic attacks, some of those drugs provide a great quality of life.

Food safety was horrible compared to what it is today, just about every mechanical device was more dangerous than today, and on and on and on and on and on. In the 1950s, a 45 year old guy was an old man.

And, as far as hospitals and insurance companies ripping people off, I hear people like you say that from time to time, but I never hear concrete examples of that. In my own life, in the lives of my immediate family members and in the lives of extended family members, I have seen nothing but excellent health care and have only heard that everyone thinks what they had to pay out of pocket was worth it, and we're talking all kind of surgeries, cancer treatments, extended medication, etc.

Part of not being mad about the cost of health care is attitude about it and accepting the fact that doctors should be paid a lot for all the school they went through and for being smart enough to go through medical school to begin with. Same goes for drugs developed by drug companies...takes time and effort from very educated people to come up with these things, and that costs money.

It is all relative though, isn't it? People will look back now and say what a crap we lived in. The middle class was better back in the 50s.

Context for those who failed history: uber liberal FDR passed something called "The New Deal" which resulted in economic boom times.

Since the government cannot create anything in the real economy, and the market knows where money needs to go, government subsidy and interference spends money less efficiently. Resources are finite, and since resources cannot be in two places at once, this intervention has the appearance of "booming" the economy, but what is unseen is the effects on the economic sector that the money was diverted away from.

I always complained about my health care insurance until my wife decided to become a doctor. I'm a smart guy, but apparently not that smart. The amount of information that Doctors and PA's have to know is unreal. Not to mention that they have to diagnose health issues correctly, all while sifting through all the other health issues of the very same patient, making sure meds don't get mixed up, proper dosages of meds, not to mention a total and complete knowledge of every part of your body and it's function, as to make the patient better. Oh and the $300K.

They certainly have the right to charge what they do.

Yes-- the top marginal tax rate was over 90%. About 1/4 employed Americans belonged to a union.

Good thing we cut taxes for the "job creators" and got rid of the labor unions.

Otherwise American would have been a socialist country.
