Which decade was the best to live in?

I would choose the 60's, just because of all the excitement and hope of that period. We really thought mankind was entering a better stage. (If only!) And I loved the fashions and the music.

About the 50's, I don't agree. I don't miss that period at all. Although I was just listening to a CD of The Best of Nat King Cole in my car, so I guess I have a certain amount of nostalgia.

It's in the 100's again today; it's become unbearable to even go outside. It's supposed to finally cool down on Tuesday. In my air-conditioned, very comfortable car, with Nat crooning to me, I was thinking how happy I am to be living in this decade. Imagine what life was like before air conditioning. In spite of all the sentimental memories, I'll take the current period we're living in, thank you.

I can imagine it...not only imagine it, but I'm living it..very rare for houses in the UK to have AC, and this week we're going to have temps of 90 deg and more.. :eek: even the AC in my car doesn't work , and I've had it re-gassed twice now...
 
I was born in the mid-50s, so do not really remember them, but from what I know, I kid of wish I had spent more time living in, and being aware of the 50s. The music was good. And life did seem simple. There was more family time, and innocent time. war was over. I grew up in a small town, so I would have loved the small town living back then.
 

If most of us had been living before the 20th century, we'd probably be dead long before getting to the age we are now!
 
Definitely, the 60's and 70's, there was plenty of drugs, plenty girls, plenty of parties, plenty of money, everyone thought, ''those days would never end.'' The Vietnam War was a nightmare that should never had happened.
