Unhistorical immorality


This show seems to be entirely populated with moral and physical cripples! The 1940's was no paradise, but most people were not engaging in sex out of marriage, lesbianism, miscegenation, not to mention numerous peccadillos of a non-sexual nature. Why do modern writers have to transfer their immorality to other, purer, times?

reply

Because all this stuff DID happen but it simply was not discussed. What, you think lesbianism is new? Sex outside of marriage was a 60's invention? Stop it, you're not a very keen observer of the human race!

I certainly agree BeverlyCy. Pregnancy abounded, especially during the war! Woman and men cheated as their spouses were not there for years, etc. The "propaganda" glamor films from WW2 are awesome to watch but they're not reality. Bomb Girls was much closer.

Oh, honey, really? Purer times? You're adorable.

Just as another posted lesbianism, sex outside of marriage, miscegenation all existed they just were not talked about. I'm failing to see how any of these things are wrong anyway. I guess it would be the perfect place for a racist bigot like you but the 40's was from good old times.

All of those things came before your god was ever dreamt up. Get a grip on reality there, and pull that stick out slow so you don't get ass-splinters.

Oh no! Not miscegenation, the horror!

reply

Perhaps it has escaped your attention that talking about miscegenation is passe. In fact many consider it immoral to think there is anything wrong with human beings loving each other, regardless of their race or sexual orientation. All sorts of things went on then, just as now. It's just that hypocrites like you hid them. You are such an ignorant throwback. Got watch the PTL Club.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty.

I do family genealogy; and while it does appear a lot of the time as though people through history were amazingly faithful, DNA testing bears out there was infidelity. Census records also show families were broken up and moved around.
