If you're into traditional/50's values, then of course you'd think that society has changed for the worse. I, for one, am quite happy that I'm not living in the 50's. However, I'm sure my grandparents, for example, long for the good 'ole days, when mom had chocolate chip cookies waiting for you when you got home from school, and children spoke when they were spoken to, etc. It all depends on what you value.

Someone's wealth or lack of does not give them the right to trash a city.

Never said it did. Then again is it a case of residents moving into an area and breaking all the shop windows and kicking apart bus shelters, or is it at least as much to do with reductions local government funding (allowing the infrastructure to decay and not fixing anything).

Come on. I saw it all the time in Melbourne. The areas which received and relied the most on government handouts where the most run down and damaged by vandalism.

Sure. But welfare isn't spent on maintaining and developing the local infrastructure.

Well actually they do but the infrastructure is almost always vandalized. You want to make a bet that if someone was to build something new in a poor dense area it would be trashed within a month??

Not really. But I am wondering what this has to do with your point about things being "so much worse".

All this from these two posts:

I'll put it another way for you then. Those same places that are now rundown and ghettos, where they in the same condition in the 50's??

Is this the economist’s mind at work (i.e. the same mind that thinks that the wealth in a city is evenly distributed) – that leads you to believe that as certain areas become run-down while the rest of the country stays completely static?

Tsk. Tsk. indeed.

It sounds silly, but these kinds of romantic self-deceptions about idealized periods in history have been the cause of more problems than anything else. In 30’s Germany – there was a wholesale rejection of any sort of experimental art, literature that didn’t meet specific parameters concerning their depiction of the Fatherland. The founding principle of the nazi belief system was that Germany had gotten too far away from traditional German values, and needed to return to its ‘honest, hardworking’ roots. In fact there was a lot of very bland art produced around that time showing rural scenes where hardy, honest-looking men “worked the land” while the women brought up their 4 blonde children.

As you have no idea what a 'pissing contest' entails, as you haven't yet participated, then you are rather jumping to conclusions when you imagine that it involves pissing over the other contestants.

Still, obviously the idea is way too vulgar for your sensiblities, so details you will never know.

I remember fairly clearly having a “how high the stream” contest with other boys in my primary school class (circa 1984)

yes your highness

btw, if you spent less time belittling ppl on this thread and being so rude, you might get the point that in the first place, i wasnt even speaking to you

and i know what a pissing contest is, just bc i was not gross enough to take part in is as i was a GIRL and not willing to flaunt my va-jay-jay to every kid on the block, doesnt mean im clueless

again, just bc at 6 you were peeing infront of other kids to look cool and some tarded 6 yr old in australia did sex #######, doesnt mean its common within 6 yr olds
