  3. Welcome to 1969 by daveo0331 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since many of you visiting this thread were born after it was posted, I thought I'd tell you something about what 1969 is like (or 1970 for those of you east of the Prime Meridian):

    We are losing soldiers every day in an unpopular, unnecessary war halfway around the world. Millions of people have turned out in protests against the war. We will face a global energy crisis within the next decade. History is being made in the area of space exploration. We have a dishonest Republican president whose administration is (or will be) tarnished by scandal. The world's biggest computer company is an evil monopoly that everyone hates.

    Remember the days when Republicans were the party of fiscal responsibility?
