Quote# 58819

IMHO the US became a lot bolder and less accountable when 7-11's opened back in the 1960's. We could shop or pump our own gas (for the first time) from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm. Even mainstream stores like Safeway had closing and opening times. Hmmmmm, let's see......that was about the time that youth began to rebel and disrespect the "old ways" of their parents.
More time to buy things to get in trouble (alcohol, etc.). Forty years later - what an enormous backlash on society.

Just my opinion......

No, it started when the Woolworths chain opened in the 1920s, thus heralding the antichrist, who will be here any minute now with his beast marks . . .

7-11 is the anti-christ?

I don't even know what a 7-11 is...


I'm guessing you don't live in the US, then. They're a chain of convenience stores across the US--even seen The Simpsons and the Quik-E-Mart where Apu works? It's a parody of 7-11, basically.

(Good point, WMD Kitty!)

I mean, yes they promote independence in the sense that they're open 24-7 so I can go in and buy creamer for my coffee anytime I want--must be because I'm a woman then, and independence for women is TEH DEBIL.

Americans can no longer pump their own gas? Is that true?

I've heard the same argument said about the car. That one made a hell of a lot more sense.

Then again

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

These people should watch the Turner Networks old movies more. It's like a film history of America and 20's 30's and 40's movies show a society remarkably like todays. They even had a Taboo Gay film week.

No, Hindus. Muslims drive cabs and open Hookah Bars. With purple curtains. And fake rock fountains.
