i think i was born in the wrong time period...i'm seriously obsessed with the time period in which the Notebook takes place...
i love everything about the world up to about the 1970's where technology started screwing everything up. Romance was alot better too...now over 50% of marraiges end in divorce...
anybody else find this depressing?

I totally understand what you're saying. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time. You're not alone!

I totally know what you mean, I seriously think I should have been born in the 40/50's. Everything was so much simpler back then, romance was definitly alot better, everything was so much more beautiful and I love the clothes

yea i agree with you guys... a lot of the romances back then were pure and innocent in a way... Like my grandparents... I mean they were born in the 20s but were in their early 20s during the war... I mean they met during the war... My grandpa was a soldier while my grandma was kinda like a voluteer for the red cross... i mean bang they fell in love... they are still together today... its awesome... i mean i think marriage is about surviving the ups and downs... but i think a lot of ppl dont really try to work with their marriages.. they just give up and bang divorce... its so stupid... i wish i was born in the 40's era as well.. lol..  |

Yeah, the 40's and 50's seem like such a more simpler time, where people seemed to recognize what's REALLY important in life and knew the difference between right and wrong. That's why, even though I do enjoy my technology (phone, internet, TV, etc), I try to still do simple things like sit outside and read, or take a walk, or whatever, and try to remain as true a person as I can possibly be.  |

I'm a big fan of history and I loved the 40s the best. Life seemed so much easier and care free. And the fashion...beautiful. I'm so glad it's back in style for the fall!  Today, you can't turn on the TV without hearing about more people dying in Iraq in the war. It's terrible.  |

Well, the 40's was also a volatile time in history with WWII and everything, which was 10x worse than Iraq. I mean almost every male was drafted and over seas and the women had to work very hard at home to help the war effort. So even though a lot of the 40's was innocent, there was also some great hardship there. That's why they call it "The Greatest Generation." |

But before the war, it seemed innocent and care-free. Oh and I also loved FDR. I did a project on him a couple years ago and he was a great man and amazing president. |

I agree on both counts. America lost it's innocence after Pearl Harbor, and yes, FDR is probably one of our greatest Presidents! |

i dunno...even before WW2, the depression made people lose their innocence pretty quickly, and before that there was WW1. I don't think people started losing their innocence with pearl harbour, i just think that peoples lifestyles changed.
i think it was just a totally different world back then...when people had much different priorities than they do today.
