      Those days are gone. Even if we could go back, we changed too much as well.

      What's often not noticed is that the world was more Christian then. It's time to start giving Christianity credit for the world that we all miss. This woke culture is hands down much much worse.

    I wish if I didn’t grow up and live the life I have now. Everything back then was better and all my beloved ones were alive .

      No it wasn’t. Top Gun was nearly $60 when new. The reason for it was that the studios were afraid that home video would kill theater sales, so they charged high prices for the rights to release movies on home video, therefore VHS was expensive. The studios stayed with this pricing strategy until the late 90s.

    I should go to McDonald's and show them the first video clip and see if they'll still honor that price.

    Times were so much better back then. I had a discussion with friends a few weeks ago about this and we’ve all come to the conclusion that good times in the world peaked in the late 90’s. It’s been downhill since then. Kids now will never understand how much more peaceful and wholesome things used to be.
