are the top 10 reasons why the 80s were better than the 90s.
10. MTV actually played videos in the 80's.
9. There was only one kind of Nike tennis shoes. (White with a red swoosh), and they didn't cost $125.
8. A comb in your back pocket is more practical and less painful than a ring through your nose.
7. In the 80's playing video games actually meant going out to DO
something (remember Hyper Space?)
6. In the 80's, when you were out partying, you didn't have to worry about your Mom calling you on your cell phone.
5. In the 80s we didn't have to worry about
guns at school.
