Talk:The Sixties
Bad light
You have painted 1960's in a very harsh light. It was a period that needed to take place and wasnt all bad AdenJ 06:14, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
- No. The Sixties have been painted as a fount of all that is good, and it is important to redress this. Most of what is bad in modern society either originated in, or became much worse as a result of, the idiocies and moral vacuities of that decade. Bugler 06:17, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
the pent-up feeling couldnt be contained, particulary considering the events surrounding the 60's. And whats wrong with adding info on the great music and writing of the time? AdenJ 06:18, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
Why do take away the fact that the beatles, one of the greatest and most popular bands of all time (also the stones) out of the article but mention great music was produced in the era? THEY produced the music you speak of! AdenJ 06:21, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
- This is a clean, conservative encyclopaedia. It is completely inappropriate to laud the contributions made by the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and authors such as Hunter S Thompson. Whatever their musical and literary qualities, their social and moral effects were pernicious in the extreme. By all means talk about these qualities elsewhere, but they do not belong in this article. And there were doubtless other people making great music. Bugler 06:23, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
My block and this article
I was blocked for adding info to this article. Blocked for "Lauding apologists of illegal drugs". Which is a ideological block. Conservapedia has articles on The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Hunter S. Thompson, Ken Kesey, Tom Wolfe (who is actually a conservative). So, if this article mentions the greats of sixties music and literature and also has pages about these artists, why are they unable to be linked here? AdenJ 08:42, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
- Your lunch break clearly hasn't helped your observational abilities, as there is a link to The Beatles in the article. Bugler 08:45, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
