I miss the days when you could feel sad about something and not be called an emo.

That term is heavily overused.
Amen. Also, I miss the old days when I could play FFVII without thinking EMOEMOEMO every five seconds D:. Damn internet.

I miss the good old days when Hollywood wasn't bringing old action heroes back for another round (except Indy).

...when kids weren't acting like complete assholes.

...when people my age had good role models, not this Paris Hilton-Britney Spears BS.

...when media based off of video games was good (Sam & Max).

...when there was only three expansion packs to the Sims 2.

...when game reviewers didn't have their heads completely up their asses and knew which games were only offering fun and not a revolution.

...when walking wasn't considered 'lame'.

...when the US had competent leadership.

...when the US wasn't completely reviled by everyone and their mother.

...when "Two Girls, One Cup" meant that two girls were sharing drinking water from the same cup.

I'mnot sure when you were alive, but I'm sure whenever it was there was some kind of war going on with germany..... (joking)

I miss decent cartoons.
I miss being funny. Bloody hellfire, but I've become fucking boring recently.
I miss when I could read 'Biggles' and not be chastised for being childish.
I miss a time when I could actually watch a war movie without wishing the Germans were winning OR being pissed off that there were no Britishers in it.
I miss decent lego. Lego these days is mostly franchise crap, though they've come up with some nice stuff recently.
I miss action movies that didn't feel the need to moralise or be hyper-realistic (though I quite like hyper-realistic)
I miss when playing with toy guns didn't make me feel like a complete berk.
I miss not being so utterly bitter, warped and cynical about everything in general.
I miss not having to play ragby every Saturday.
I miss actually being excited by new videogames.
I miss not having to wear a stupid motherfucking uniform.
I miss having girlfriends
I miss having time to play videogames all the way to the end.
I miss when being an atheist didn't result in my having to prove to stupid Christians that their fucking god does not fucking exist and that even if he did I would refrain from worshipping him.
I miss having timeto consider all life's options.
I miss long sunny days. All it seems I get now is either long or sunny, but never both.
I miss not turning on the news and watching a politician and realising that A) I'd heard it all before, and B) They really are stupid.

I miss when games used primary colours and not just different shades of brown
I miss when robots were just rubbish cans with sparks coming out of them

Do you remember when everyone didn't ***** about how much better everything is in hindsight?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I miss the pastures and horses that used to be near my house, rather than the hideous McMansions planted there now. In fact, I miss the days of no Supersizing, whether that was fast food, SUVs, or big, ugly houses.

But mostly, I like things the way they are now. I was much more bitter and cynical at 15 and 17 than I was at 35 and 37. Give it a few decades, youngsters. You can choose a different life for yourself if you want to, eventually.

Stop shining on our dreary parade. We don't want your infectious happiness around here.

*****I miss the good ol' days where I could say I wish people genuinely cared and not get glomped by my friends/family/escapistforum with pessimistic idealisms which swamp and degenerate our very society in which we live.

*****I miss the good ol' days where I didn't have to refute a claim which was based on a positive outlook on life, and get called "naive".

The second one is speaking more of the reactions I get from my friends at school....

**********I miss the good ol' days where a kid could take an AP Chemistry exam and actually pass it wonderfully.

I'm not kidding. The AP Chemistry exam can have you miss HALF of the multiple choice questions, and get average on the open-response based questions, and still get a perfect score. It sucks when tests are that hard.

*****I miss the the good ol' days when cartoons didn't have to have insepid bowel-movement based jokes or rely on idiotic humor that makes me want to kill myself.

Speaking relatively pessimistic here, the cartoons in today's youth are piles of vomit-induced humor. Where are the Gummi Bears? Where's Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers? Where's Ducktales? Blugh.. Now I feel really old. >_<

CodeChrono, no-one cares about anybody else, and because you believe in the goodness of man, you're naive. Wait...

I miss the good ol' days when accepting that the world was a bit shit and humans a bit selfish wasn't called pessimism but realism.

Isn't that called optimism now?
