Joseph, I used to ride my bike downtown to see a movie or shop. I would just park it in front of the store or theater. Very few kids, if any, locked their bikes. There was no theft.

Yes I use to hitchhike into Modesto to buy a TV guide and one day made it in 45 min to and from (about 8 miles one way). We did not have a car most of time. Did not have TV until Nov of 58.

I'm from a small town- used to have that growing up, but not so much anymore.

BTW- this is very much a part of 'social' life.

Glad to see someone post personal experience. Like I said, none of us really know what we're talking about.

Peace, joseph. Maybe we'll see times like this again.

None of the two, you are currently reaching about the same depth in the Abyss as during the Korean War.

Reminds me of our stockmarket, which has now dropped to the levels of 1991, the 1st Gulf War.

Greece has a stockmarket? I didn't know you could buy shares in goat herding enterprises...

I am almost as old as Joseph and I agree with him. The society in general was more honest and safe. There was also more mutual respect for neighbors. I grew up in California so I saw very little racism but I must say that there was not the hatred that there is now between various groups of people. Of course the nation has always been plagued by bigots and that has not changed over the years.

We could leave our house unlocked in Batavia, IL up to the day we moved out, in 1988. When my Mom moved to Winfield, we kept the door there unlocked also, that was until the early 1990s. I know people here who keep their door unlocked.

I have no idea why being able to have your doors unlocked while you sleep automatically is superior to any culture where people decide to lock their doors.

I'd no sooner go back to 1950 than I would 1980. Unless I had my current memories.

Even when I lived in the countryside I used to lock the doors. Leaving them unlocked is just so....wrong.

One word- trust.
If you are able to keep your doors unlocked, this is a symbol of the trust that you share with your neighbours.

Even if I lived on a planet where I was the only human being, I'd still lock my doors. I'm just a paranoid SOB
