Why was Vietnam such an unpopular war?

The media

Why were soldiers treated so despicably?

The yellow media

How has it changed social norms?

Along with the Civil Rights campaigns of the 1960s, one of the most divisive forces in twentieth-century U.S. history. The antiwar movement actually consisted of a number of independent interests, often only vaguely allied and contesting each other on many issues, united only in opposition to the Vietnam War. Attracting members from college campuses, middle-class suburbs, labor unions, and government institutions, the movement gained national prominence in 1965, peaked in 1968, and remained powerful throughout the duration of the conflict. Encompassing political, racial, and cultural spheres, the antiwar movement exposed a deep schism within 1960s American society.

How is that all these world changing events coincided in such a small period of time?

The people were more connected, they had ideals. They felt the had a purpose.

The question is do we fell that way now?

Well if you feel that is culturally relevant to our current society, and world views then yes. You could make a strong case about it.
By "culture relevance" I mean speak about your point of view into what is to you relevant about our culture. Some people may focus on their own subcultures, and that's ok too. These could be goths, emos, vegans, etc. If you feel its relevant within what you define to be your culture, that makes it culturally relevant as well. Now, some people will disagree and some won't, but that's the point.
If your going to focus on a subculture, be sure the mention it.

That's the way I see it, but since so many ppl are complain about it might as well. I'll let people do what they do. I rather no one use tweens or very specific when they use em.

:Yay for traditional animation

I don't think he was refering to the age group. Your not going to get a lot of takers if you refuse flash tweens. You can exibit the same, if not more skill with tweens than fbf in some cases. Your making a slightly elitist rule thats going to hurt this collab more than help it.

I figured as much, that's why I'm say ok to TWEENs
TWEE ARE OK

coo, new topic (if I'm allowed to change the topic)
Lets talk 1970s, Woodstock, Vietnam, shasam, and awesome music.
We lost the war on Vietnam,
why? or why not?

Coo, then by all means go right ahead

oh man is that the reason? if so, ok Join in, even with tweens.
A friend of mine told that tween is slang for kids between 18-20. I had no idea, I never heard of that word before in my life.
I was talking about the flash "tween" I wanted ppl to work on 15 sec worth on animation frame by frame. Challenging yeah. but seriously its your point of view and its gotta be very rewarding. I guess if people can't do with out, I'll do too.
+TWEEN are OK

For the discussion at hand:
I think it is all relative as to where you travel. I mean, in the South, the Muslims are like their new bane, such as the racism of the early 1900's. However, in mainstream America, I don't think so. In the 1940's, thousands of books and movies and tributes were made on the behalf of communism, most of the focal point around the communists in this country. However, now, the focal point has shifted toward the economy. The occasional terrorist attack you hear is in Baghdad concerning the war. No "cults" have appeared such as with the communist craze. I think that between 9/11 and 2005/2006, I would have wholeheartedly said yes. However, the situation has seemed to dwindle considerably.

I can agree with that, thanks to the new face of this administration and the "liberal media" constantly poking at the big news networks for being nothing but "snake oil" vendors, I can a agree that since 2006 the paranoia has died down, but not necessarily gone away. I believe it difference on the standing point of view, I'm sure people of that may resemble Muslim characteristics will be contentiously harassed by paranoid ignorant people.

Who are you referring too with this? I did not notice any spam or spam related posts in this thread...

I was wondering that myself, in fact the whole point of this is more or less an anti-spam project

How are those related?

when did we shut this door? after 9/11?

We had immigration laws way before 9/11.

Yeah, but they weren't so extreme as they are now, not only that but building a wall?
C'mon, if we look at the real facts, those terrorist entered this country legally and after 9/11 immigration laws and regulation became extremely severe with immigrants, even those entering the country legally. Before 2001 if you enter to the states as a tourist and decided to stay the immigration papers would only take a few months to a year. Now after September 11, 2001 it can take up to 10 YEARS for someone to become a legal citizen of the US.
How does it relate?
Mad Paranoia. Much like the in 1946 when we had the "red scare" People saw the "reds" on every corner even Walt Disney was prosecuted for being a potential communist party member. What is happening now is no different, in fact it could even be worst due to the craze enforced by public media (FOX News)
Now days EVERYONE is the enemy, schools are teaching students to spot out "suspicious activities" everyone has an eye on everyone, lets not forget the "Patriot act"
We might as well just wait for the department of love to come and vaporize us, because some kid ratted us out to the thought police

I agree. Until they bring back blacklisting then I think people aren't as paranoid.

Perhaps, but look at illegal immigrants? Auschwitz anyone?
I mean these people are not only prosecuted and trial as criminals and for what? for doing exactly what millions of immigrants before them. Theirs persuit for the American Dream. The statue of libertity says:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
when did we shut this door? after 9/11?

1. There's a collab that just got started, it's about submitting a 15-30 second piece on your views, if interested, go here.
2. New Topic for discussion/debate: From about 1946 up to the fall of the USSR, Americans seemed to see a Commie around every corner. In our government, our neighborhood, simply everywhere. Do you think that this has been replaced by terrorists/radical Muslims?

First of, I'm so glad to finally find people with capable thinking abilities and not just mindless sheep.
OK to the the topic at hand.
As far as the "red scare" being replaced by ignorant generalizations of Muslim beliefs, would be an accurate way to put it. Yes, there is an almost tangible prosecution of people of these belief, but to my understanding this issues isn't much about a political stand or religion, but a problem about "race"
It is most unfortunate to think that instead of going forward in the way we think, we reduce ourselves in judging about the way people are born. Then again, EVERYONE is extremely sensitive about anything, u can't really know what is appropriate and what isn't.
