Is the U.S. better or worse than it was 50 years ago?

[Dis]

Obviously it is better because of the less racism now than 50 years ago.

But take away the racism, was the 50's really that bad?

I suppose it was worse for women. They seemed to be oppressed back then. But they aren't any happier now than they were 50 years ago.

What I'm getting at is: Is the U.S. getting better or worse?

And you want this answered with a yes or no question???

[Dis]

yes

It was either this, or I creat a thread titled. Is there a superman curse? Currently they can't find anyone to play Superman because everyone is afraid of the curse.

Better or worse?

Rather than say yes or no to that, how about I just say better (for the most part).

you could always elaborate in the space provided below . But I didn't want to think of any poll options. It's late and I'm tired.

Depends on what you mean, because "better or worse" covers a huge area.

If someone doesn't say, I assume they mean they are including all aspects with equating the pros & cons left up to the individual posting/voting.

If I'm wrong Dissident & you had something else in mind let me know.

It is better than 50 years ago, but worse than 5 years ago. Since it's silly to select the alternative better/worse with yes/no, it's banana.

50 years ago, the US accounted for 70% of world's production. Today, 20%. Can't be good in that respect.

Of course it's better. If I had to livie in the US in my year of choice, I'd pick 2003 over 1953.

[DaShi]

At least the US is willing to fight to kick out a dictator than put one in this time. . .I hope.

I live in it now, so it must be better

POverty is down, segregation is finished, rights for other groups have increased, people are wealthier, healthier (longer life spans)m the constant dread of nuclear annahilation is done, no more draft..

On the other hand: crime is up, people are fatter.

I say, better.
