Causes of death in America.

Just a bunch of vintage photos to remind you of those glorious days in the past.

Take a ride back in time to a decade when men wore platforms and flaring pants and women were just starting to let their hair down. Not surprisingly, many of these styles are back in.

These are some real ghost towns in the United States. Most of these towns were thriving at one time or another. There are various reasons for their demise. Now they are simply ghost towns.

These are photos of malls all across America in 1989. They were taken by Michael Galinsky who has become famous on the Internet. They are a real blast from the past and very interesting.

If you compare Japanese and American box art of different Kirby games, you will notice one interesting fact. When a pink ball jumps across the pond, his “face” expression will change from smiling to a look of anger and hatred. What if Kirby gets mad about crossing oceans and arriving in the USA? Who knows? But in America many people know this character only as the cheapest Super Smash Bros one. See more examples of curious attitude inside this post.

“As Long As We Both Shall Live" is a documentary created in the USA. It researches the marriage situation in America for the last three generations. All marriages that are shown in this project have the same feature. They all last for at least 40 years!

Can you imagine being happy with your second half for this period of time? Personally I would love to marry once and forever though it often sounds like a fairy tale nowadays.

Here’s an interesting observation.

Look closely at the newspaper.

You’re looking at Ukrainian Igor Vovkovinskiy while he’s sitting, nothing special, you may think, but you’ll see the difference when he is up…

It’s always difficult to fight against such “enemies” as sexually transmitted diseases and other bad habits that rule in modern society. It was even more difficult to battle against such diseases in the ‘30s and ‘40s in America. At wartime this propaganda was targeted at soldiers.

Greet the Kotzian family from Thornton, Colorado. This family, like other people with dwarfism (a rare genetic disorder of bone growth), has worked very hard to overcome social and physical barriers and can now live normal lives. The Kotzians work with Little People of America. It’s the only dwarfism support organization that helps little persons across the US. They went through a lot as there are many Americans who treat little persons like a circus act.
