we'refromthesamestory: I'mma just take this minute to point out that not all of us were around in the 60's, and 1970 is one year off. Besides, we don't have an actual 1970's headline thread.

Not to Sheldon Cooper the point, but 1970 is actually the last year of the 1960s decade.

SnarfVader: [Dumbass] A dead whale washes up on an Oregon beach. The DOT promptly a) buries it in the sand b) tows it back out to sea or c) blow it up? With video

/Yeah, I know it was 1970, but technically that's the last year of the decade.

Yeah, in NYS we cut them up and ditch the bodies alongside Ocean Parkway.

You're wrong... If you were talking about "the 60th decade" or similar, then yes, you'd be correct... But, when refereing to "the 1960s", it definitely covers the years 1960 through 1969... 1970 is right out!

You should be ashamed, Sheldon...

Babwa Wawa: James72: [Survey] The Dow is over 900. Do you think we'll ever see it break 1000 in our lifetime?

What's funny about that is that it was at 780-something in 1982.

Between 1966 and 1969, it came very close to breaking 1000. Topped out at 989.10 in early '67 and 985.08 in late '68

I can't remember the 70s, but when you see a stock market stuck at 25 pct off its all time high for more than a decade, that's pretty eye opening.

Rightly or wrongly, it's no wonder Reagan's revered.

Born August 4, 1961, Barack Hussein Obama (Soteiro), a son to Mr. and Mrs. Soteiro of Indonesia. This kid keeps coming back like a bad penny.
