Is the world better than it was 50 years ago?

I think it is worse:

First off, we have the whole global warming thing because of the gases and electricity we are wasting on stuff like air freshener, play stations and all that stuff, the list could go on for ever. We don’t need any of these things, if we went back fifty years everyone was living happily without all these things and there was no global warming problem.

Secondly, 50 years ago there were no boy racers. Now we have invented all this gear that makes cars go faster, but as they get faster the more dangerous they become and more lives are lost, because of silly people in silly cars. These people like racing round the streets and getting themselves killed.

Thirdly, all of the laws are getting looser and looser and more and more of the criminals are getting let off the hook. They are then let back on the streets so they can commit crimes again.

I’m not saying you have to believe me but these are the facts. You make your own mind up.
