What things about life back in the 90's, 80's, 70's(or further back still if you're old enough) do you miss? This doesn't mean things like I miss being a student or I miss being in my early 20's, as I think most(if not all) of us do miss being younger anyway. But what do you miss about how life & society was from years ago.

I miss spending face time, hanging out, biking or drinking beer in the woods.
I miss painter pants so tight you could see her camel toe.
I miss thinking that getting the clap would have been the absolute worst thing that could have happened to me.
I miss having only 3 channels on TV.
I miss the excitement of constant discovery.
I miss my mom making me breakfast.
I miss sitting on the hood of a charger, back to the windscreen, drinking beer and looking at the stars through a clear sky and wondering what the hell girls were all about.
I miss getting drunk and sleeping on the floor of a friend's ski boat, and not having to worry about jobs and responsibility.

I miss the days when I didn't have too worry about everything I put in my mouth being chemically contaminated.
I miss not being able to go out in the sun without sunscreen.
I miss the hot days in the city without smog alerts.
I miss $2 tuesdays at the movies.
I miss the original six days in the NHL.
I miss my ex. I thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence but it wasn't.

I miss my morning wood.
At one point in my life I thought it was a pain in the ass, then there was a point where it was very useful, now... it's just unreliable.

I miss not having to shave my ears
I miss not having to pluck my unibrow
I miss not having to trim my nose hair
I miss not having to hide the boner I just popped in class
I miss not being able to pinch a girls booty and only worry about a getting a slap across the face.
I miss the molar I lost because I pinched a girls booty when I was young.

50 cent a LITRE gasoline?
Oh man, I'm going to show my age now, I miss 50 cent a GALLON gasoline...... I used to ride a honda 125 enduro and 75 cents would do me for about 2 weeks in gas. Then I got my licence and would ride it on the road. A buck a week in gas would be more than enough.
Yeah, when rubbers were used to prevent pregnancy only.......I don't remember anyone I knew, or anyone they knew who ever got an STD......
I miss:
When having a baby out or marriage was something to be ashamed of and if you got a girl pregnant? You supported her and the child.
When cars were cars and not cookie cutter knockoffs of each other. Knock the pacer or the gremlin all you want but it was rare to find two cars from two makers or one for that matter, that even remotely looked like one another.
When life was like "that 70's show" and hanging out with friends in your parent's basement was enough.

I miss being able to roam the earth as a master of the universe.
Its a bit of an inside joke for those of us, who in younger days, were able to shoot, kill, and blow shit up, all because someone cried havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
It was very cathartic.
Seriously, I miss the bond, it was a time when you would die for the man next to you without a second thought, and you knew he would do the same for you.
It was never spoken, it was not a thing that was talked about. Just sometimes, on really bad days, it would happen, and you would hold the guy next to you while he died, and everyone knew, we would all do the same.
That bond can never come back, it was beyond family.
