Things you miss.

[ktcm7271 999]

I love technology, but I miss a few things as I'm sure some of you do.

 

1. Parking lots that were a wide, flat surface with only painted lines and no curbs and trees. Lord only knows why you would remove countless spaces for nothing more than appearance.

 

2. Towels and cloths made from natural materials that actually absorbed moisture and didn't just relocate it.

 

3. People that couldn't drive in the first place driving without a cell phone attached to their ear.

 

That's my top 3, I want to hear yours.

[bigdaddyhatty 65]

I miss being able to give and get directions from people. I DON"T HAVE GPS BECAUSE I'D RATHER LOOK AT THE MAP AND USE MY BRAIN!

 

"Do you have the address so I can put it in my GPS?"

"No, but I can tell you how to get there."

"Nevermind"

?????

"So where is the place at?"

"It's in my GPS."

"How do you get there?"

"Uh.. I just follow my GPS."

 

That was #1

#2 is actually knowing peoples phone numbers.

[thebuns1 4,323]

1. American made products.

2. Cars you could actually work on.

3. Our economy.

[csspecs 1,987]

Cases of wolf for less than $120. Cases of 5.45 for less than a $100.

 

That guy that made me laugh every time he talked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok that one was a little low.. But man the volume of bush jokes was just amazing. These days any president joke gets you labeled a racist.

 

 

Oh and those $75 parts kit AKs.

[storm6490 2,768]

Made in USA

 

work ethic

 

redemption

 

natural selection

 

ladies and gents

 

m-80

[Salmonking 149]

Being able to push someone in the pool without having to worry if I'd have to replace a $300+ phone.

 

When I could take a road trip and have it cost less than a flight.

 

When I could fly without being molested.

 

And I'm going pretty far back now, but having gills would be pretty sweet.

Being an unfortunate citizen of Kommiefornia once having lived in the wonderful state of Nevada....I miss FREEDOM!!!

I miss being unavailable when I'm not actually inside of my house and near a phone. I really think cell phones are the worst thing to have ever been invented, despite their incredible range of utility. You can never really "get away," and if you choose to turn your phone off you are now seen as rude or potentially negligent in the event of someone else being able to contact you in an emergency.

 

And I'm only 28. I'm supposed to be in the generation that loves all of this shit. I'm young, I work in IT/communications, but honestly I hate all of it. I wish it would go away. It's made the world too small, it's taken away all of our privacy, and make every person beholden to everyone else in their lives - bosses, wives, family, friends - simply by avenue of being available for contact at all times.

[akastormi 617]

I miss;

 

[Agent Lemon 157]

70 bucks for a thousand rounds? I almost shed a tear.

 

I miss the rough conservative ideas being accepted without liberals saying mean things.

[Dad2142Dad 6,559]

Customer Service

 

Talking to someone I can understand on the help line

 

Full Service Gas Stations

[G O B 3,516]

Of all the things that I have lost, it's my mind I miss the most!

 

And the 70's -

[patriot 7,197]

Gun racks in the back window of pickup trucks.It was useful. Now it'll get you pulled over and maybe arrested.

 

I miss the days when "political correctness" didn't exist.

 

I miss $1 a gallon gas.

 

I miss seeing NEW machine guns and >50 cal weapons available without tax or restrictions at a reasonable price.

 

I miss airports without mandatory illegal search by people who look like THEY should be the ones being searched.

 

To put it simply:

 

 

I MISS FREEDOM!

[nlacy 692]

I miss when you could get:

 

Mak 90s for $290

SKS for $120

Daewoos for $300

[jbanzai 113]

the '70s

the '80s

the '90s

 

in that order

[Squishy 1,149]

1. Unsightly panty lines
   
2. Album Oriented Rock radio stations
   
3. Cheap red meat
   
4. Living in the country
   
5. Feeling carefree
   

(In no particular order)

[Lone Eagle 839]

$69 SKS

$125 AK

Chinese steel core ammo for $49/1K

Surplus USGI 1911 mags for a buck a pop

.45 ACP ammo for $8.95/50

Gas stations sold ammo

K-mart actually beat Wal-mart in the firearms dept.

People actually helped one another, and didn't worry about ambulance chasing turds.

Surplus stores actually sold surplus merchandise, and at a cheap price.

[patriot 7,197]

Playing all summer.

[RED333 1,025]

Playing all summer.

Out of all these, I do miss this the MOST.

[gunfun 3,931]

I mostly miss bullseyes, partly because I miss ammo prices that let me practice more.

[RobRez 1,895]

Although Montana still allows many of the things listed here, like ammo at gas stations and gun racks in the truck window I still miss most of the things already posted.

I also miss:

Liberty

Cops who didn't look like commandos

Polite people, who would actually talk to you instead of texting anyone else to avoid talking to who they are actually with.

[unclejake 428]

Playing all summer.

FEELING LIKE PLAYING ALL SUMMER!!

[unclejake 428]

Y'all have taken me on a trip down memory lane this afternoon! I miss all of these things listed, as I have been around this old world for more than a few years.I miss bitching about 50 cent a gallon gas and my Jeep P/U gettin 10 mpg...but the fun that I had in it aas a young carefree wild ass kid...when you could be that and were no different than the rest.

Yup, youth and freedom, the 70s, and life before AIDS!

[read_the_wall 614]

T.V. shows that you could let your children watch.

 

Commercials that didn't have to do with drugs, viagra, or some

stupid cartoon character insulting my intelligence thinking I would purchace anything from them.

examples......."The General"....."geico lizard".........

 

Real journalist reporting on national news.

 

The U.S.A. not being the world police department.

[22_Shooter 1,560]

Not having to even think about, let alone worry about, gas mileage when looking at buying a car/truck.

 

$2.50 packs of smokes. (I'm 28, so I'm sure you older guys remember even cheaper!)

18 year old pussy. Then again, I'm single now.

[unclejake 428]

I ain't sayin I'm old, but I remember $3.50 CARTONS of smokes! LOL

I have a feeling you and I are riding in the same car on this train....for me it was the CJ5 I bought when I was stationed in Va. Beach....Get a buzz going, take the top off and load up with fellow hard heads, go down to the beach and cruise the boulevard.

 

It's easy to say "If I only knew then what I know now" but I have a feeling people have been saying the same thing for a very long time. "Wisdom" and "Youth" are too often mutually exclusive terms. But I've learned to have no regrets, and I do honestly believe that things turned out the way they were meant to...

[thebuns1 4,323]

you old fucker!

[22_Shooter 1,560]

Most people, if they had access to a time machine, would go back and try to change monumental things in history. Me? I'd go back and stock up on cartons of smokes!

You are right Squishy!! I have no regrets, and enjoyed the ride so far, and hope that it goes on for a long time yet!!LOL Had a lot of fun in those carefree days, and still do, just doesn't take as much to do me. I think that the main thing I miss about years ago, is the loved ones that have gone on and are no longer with us. Other than that, it's all good...

 

I ain't sayin I'm old, but I remember $3.50 CARTONS of smokes! LOL

 

you old fucker!

LOL!!! I remember having to quit smoking to start first grade...yeah, I guess I AM aged LOL
