It really has. Why has nobody noticed that the countries with decent birth rates, marriage success rates, and low divorce rates are the same countries that don't have an internet connection in every home?

It seems like it. Western countries were generally happier. You won't believe it, but Bill Clinton's dick was a source of entertainment for years. We didn't have constant war and terrorism.

The internet hadn't really taken off yet, and a lot of stuff was much less convenient. No Amazon or social media.

It wasn't so much 9/11 as the whole war on terror and restriction of freedoms.

It stripped a lot of illusions away. Made me realize how Jewish conspiracy theories are pretty much right. We really are controlled by Israel. Between that and Muslim nutters and refugees, I find it hard to see a good future for the West.

The cold war had just ended and there was a really comfy sense of unity and peaceful ease amongst nations. The economy picked up due to the dot com boom and there seemed to be an optimism to the future, and people looked forward to what it would bring. PC culture was pushed a bit by small groups of concerned mom's and tipper Gore, but was nearly non existent towards the end of the 90s when things like south park were pushing boundaries and gaining popularity.

The news wasn't constantly spewing hate and propaganda and fear. No one worried about terrorist attacks here or in europe. Immigration was low and the immigrants that did come legally were usually good and made the effort to assimilate and work and contribute to society. Kids played outside by themselves unsupervised for hours. You didn't have a cell you just went home when the street lights came on. Internet was new enough that only westerners and high class Asian nations used it. It wasn't accessible by everyone like today. There was no supervision online you were truly anonymous if you wanted to be. Aol, mirc, msn messenger, Yahoo messenger, icq were the Social interfacing programs most used. Dial up was still slow and took up the phone line so you weren't constantly ties to your computer 24/7.

People actually socialized, hung out, drive around, go for coffee, movies etc. Face to face human connection it was good.

Germans were the largest ethnic group in the U.S. during world war I hence the reluctance to enter and the fact we were making money hand over fist from both sides killing each other. Sadly there was no way we could have kept playing both sides.

>>130713599
>>Literally millions of Muslims entering Europe due to retarded lefties and the fact that most of the decent ME leaders have been murdered recently
agreed.
>Not detrimental to the White race.
I didn't say that. I said that the Nazis being raped and cum replaced by the commies was the worst thing for the white race in history, even including the modern cuckery--which is a natural result of communism taking over the world stage and all of academia as a result of the US' particular involvement in WW2, as well as FDR's allowing communists to infiltrate the highest tiers of government, especially the State Department and the US' equivalent of the Ministry of Propaganda.

>>130713791
> hence the reluctance to enter and the fact we were making money hand over fist from both sides killing each other
I don't see how making money follows from German immigrants being a very large proportion of the US population

> Sadly there was no way we could have kept playing both sides.
yeah, actually, there was: STAY OUT OF THE WAR. The amount of capital (human and otherwise) as well as consumption lost as a result of the war was much higher than any of the arms sales or whatever it is you're implying here

the 90's were a time of economic boom, the .com bubble opened entirely new ways to get rich, it was a good time to be starting your life, thats why nostalgia for it is so strong

Hey, I wouldn't know any better, but I was listening to Offspring, having tree house wars with my friends. On weekends we'd take off and not come home until dinner just riding bikes and having water balloon fights. Oh and Donkey Kong Country 2... one of the best games of all time. Was great. Oh and late 90s internet surfing was a once in a life time kind of thing. Those times are gone now.

i understand that, but my fondest memories of the 90's/early 2000's was watching the news and grown up shows with my parents. of course i remember the kiddie shit, but i put those nostalgic thoughts away when i became a man, and i focused on the memories that still incite thought inside of me, like watching the shock and awe in iraq back in 2003.

i didnt understand it when i was a child, but i do now.

All of this. I graduated high school in the year 2000.

1998-2000 were THE BEST years of my fucking life. Can't explain it. Its the same sense that boomers talk about when they mention being in their 20's in the 1960's.

Now I'm a teacher, and feel bad for the current generation. They have a lot of shit to clean up. These kids will most likely be the generation where they become fiscally conservative like the parents who had kids AFTER the great depression, and were raising them after World War 2 in the 50's.

The 90s is when Ecstacy use became popular and blew up. MDMA pills were legal for a really long time before criminalized, but since it was a synthetic drug it could be altered ever so lightly to stay within legality.

Yes, 90's Ireland was the perfect balance of technology and Catholic church influence. The Church wasn't so dogmatic that we had things like Magdalene laundries in the decades prior but it still stood in the way of degeneracy such as gay marriage and going to Mass was still commonplace which is great for bringing communities together. You don't see that in today's modern impersonal Ireland. The technology was at a good level where computers were efficient unlike today (Windows 7 needs 1GB just to run before running any user applications lmao), the internet was aesthetic and not bloated with javascript and we weren't yet met by the smartphone which ruined the internet thanks to phoneposters and made life sterile due to increased instant gratification. Ireland was also pretty much entirely Irish as immigrants didn't start coming until the turn of the millennium. Worldwide speaking 9/11 hadn't happened yet so people weren't as uptight and willing to sacrifice freedom and privacy for "safety".
