    Ah 1988 how I wish I was back there again instead of this 2021 hellhole even if I was just 10 at the time etc. I really do enjoy these 80's segments, it's like another world or a parallel dimension here. It's SO surreal here people having fun, being free and life was neat. Unfortunately in those aspects of time would turn the wheels to the cesspit of the 21st era we live in now, lucky.....

      These are always false memories. Was no more fun then than now. It was more racist, more sexist, we had the IRA bombing London (did a few pubs near us) don't get me wrong, was fun but not as great as everyone makes out. Like ever era. Take World War 2 for example. So many people say "Those were tha days" well no, the world was at war and as an old boy once said "What a load of bollocks. There were people out robbing back then just like now. Worst still, they'd do it during blackouts."
      The best part of our current times, is easy access to information and education. People can learn so much more now than then. I now deal with computers, the access to information is so helpful. Back in the 80s, as a kid, I attempted to get into them but the local library only had out of date books for the old computers that no one was using anymore.

      Tell me about it. I grew up in St. Thomas Virgin Islands. When other kids had hobbies like stamp and collecting, I was into Cruise ships. I would sit there for hours at a time staring at the Mardi Gras, Carnivale, Angelina Lauro. It was a much better time. The only good thing about these days is that we can now look back on those times through video.

    In the 80s people experienced the world through travel and events. Today they experience it through screens on phones. Not all the fault of the people themselves. With growing corruption, people are economically forced to experience on their phones as only the elites seem to be able to afford these experiences.

      Yes! I've been cruising and traveling the world since the 90s. It was a much different and easier time to do all of it, both financially and regarding regulations. The cost of travel has become horrendous compared to the income level, not to mention all of the new regulations regarding entry and exit requirements for places that used to simply require showing a passport.

      It's like seeing new countries, but without the flying, booking an hotel and going out for food. The cruise ship has it all.
      It will take you to different countries, it is it's own hotel resort, it's own pools, water park, games and activities, bars and restaurants.
      That is why
