Is the 80's the best era ever to be a kid
I mean seriously nothing can top the 80's in my opinion. G.I Joe, Ninja Turtles, Thunder Catz, Super Friends, Mr. T cartoon, the Goonies movie, the Wonder Years. NO FACEBOOK! I'm sorry but you 2000 kids just don't know how to live.

Don't forget Transformers before they made it shockingly bad for later generations!

2 RepliesI know I wish I was born in the 70s so I could enjoy the 80s as a teenager

I was born in 2000 and I agree. I find my self having troubles talking to people. I'm not 100% awkward and I'm getting better but it's a strange time to be alive
-
This is true...the 90s were awesome too
-
I loved the old tv shows. They were much more family oriented which I think is missing a lot these days. Music was way better back then too.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Top Gun, Back to the Future, ET, Nintendo, Sega, slap bracelets, jellies, 7-11, [i]literally all the music[/i]... ... then the nineties had to happen.

I'd say YES but I am "an old folk" like you so who cares what we think? :-) I like the list people are posting. I keep telling my kids about how much better cartoons for example were in the past. Nowadays everything needs to be stupid. Example: CN canceled Young Justice that had an actual good story line and replaced w/ Teen Titans Go, whcih is seems made to transform your kids into mentally impaired (to put in more polite terms). I am a TV/Internet police at home . :-) Best wishes to all!

1 ReplyBest Decade ever. Life was awesome back then. Would gladly have it back. Then the 90's had to come Worst Decade ever.

Arcades. Destiny, and games like it, can pretend to be "social" games all they want, but there has never been and will probably never be again, the social gaming scene that was After School Arcade gaming.

80's and 90's.

Yep, it was a good time to be a kid.

2 RepliesThough I wasn't born in the 80's, I still [i]really[/i] want all the social media to go away. It has killed more of my friendships than actually making any.[quote]connect around the world with all of your friends[/quote] all of them left me for not having a Facebook account...

Yes...wish I was born in the 80's...music was good then. Oh well, I still have the 90's

1 ReplyEdited by dooleyrules: 10/21/2015 3:10:18 AMThey were the days #kids sharing chicken pox #if you pissed off your neighbour they'd smack you #playing in the street without fear of being kidnapped #alladdin was the only guy on tv that wore a towel on his head #you could win a fight with your fists And best of all hyper colored t-shirts I rest my case

Back when playing outside was a thing.

3 RepliesYou left out Transformers He-Man Mixed tapes not everything had high fructose corn syrup. You could actually spank your child You had to [i]earn [/i]trophies, not get one just for showing up As a child, [i]I[/i] was the TV remote If you made a googly face at a child, you weren't looked at like a child-molester [spoiler]don't mean to get preachy, but today's world sucks.[/spoiler]
