- - If a man had nothing but a horse, saddle, and gun he could build an empire.
- -People loved learning and knowledge.
But other than that, the 1880's were undoubtedly the best time to live in human history.

Testify!The 1980s was where it's at baby!
Makes perfect sense. While they are busy reading and learning, you ride in, shoot them, and steal their stuff.
But 25% of the cowboys in the old west were black.OP, make that statement, then be any other ethnicity.

Oh yeah, that’s right. Black people lives were fantastic then. They weren’t segregated or discriminated against at all. Man, if only it were the 1880’s.But 25% of the cowboys in the old west were black.
Most of the 20th century Hollywood erased the black cowboy from history. Nowhere near the historical percentage of cowboys who were black.
I'm not saying that. Obviously, discrimination was more prevalent back then.Black people lives were fantastic then.
Why are dudes so put off by a nice bush?Hairy women
I made it very clear in my first post that I did not wish to give up modern medicine. I've had two complete testicle replacements. If I hadn't been able to have those, I'd be crippled and in constant pain.
From a societal standpoint I long for the values, mores, and customs of the nineteenth century. I'm repelled by what I see today.
Therefore, I have always tried to separate myself from modern American society. But being dependent on modern technology in every way prevents me from doing so.
Interesting as I didn't know that.But 25% of the cowboys in the old west were black.

I was thinking more along the lines of legs, pits, and occasional mustache.Why are dudes so put off by a nice bush?
The hair down there traps in the delicious juices.
Netflix: The Harder They FallInteresting as I didn't know that.
To be fair, a shit load of western movies were made long time ago. And at that time, most Hollywood actors were white, especially the famous ones. So movie studios had no choice due to number of actors and bankable revenue to skew to white actors.
In modern day western movies, they could change that image if they want to. But they don't.
I don't think toiling in dust and soil for thirty years before being struck down by consumption is 'bright'Twice as bright, half as long. The way it should be.
Cool. I'll check it out. For western movies, I dont care if it's based on real people or it's a fake story.Netflix: The Harder They Fall
Uses actual historical cowboys to tell a fictional story.
Not to mention that back in the 40s to 60s, black folks rarely were stars in mainstream movies and because of how white mainstream Hollywood was, you didn't see black cowboys portrayed. Because of the wholesale erasure of black cowboys in the public conscious, MANY people (not just white) are gobsmacked that there were black cowboys... Especially badazzes like Bill Pickett. Even after The Harder They Fall came out late last year, their stories are STILL little known. That's why black history month is important... So that American history can be known fuller. Unfortunately, Hollywood REALLY convinced people that there were no black cowboys.
Most people probably don't even know that even the concept of cowboys comes from Mexico...Netflix: The Harder They Fall

They made an accurate movie of the wild West it was called bone tomahawkI don't think any time period without easy access to
...toilet paper...
...pain medication...
...dentistry...
...hot water...
...was that great.
Also: have you ever ridden a horse? They stink. Your ass hurts all the time, and when you get thrown off you're probably dead either from the fall or from the inability to properly treat the resulting injuries due to the complete lack of remote medical assistance in the time period.
I'm pretty sure an accurate move about the wild west would feature a lot of misery and people shitting themselves to death.
I'd watch it.
This. Modern medicine and hygiene are the two main reasons I wouldn't want to live at any time in history other than now. Given an extreme choice, for example, "do you want to be a very poor, regular nobody in 2022 US, or the King of France in 1300?" I would, every time, without hesitation, choose the 2022 option.I don't think any time period without easy access to
