    Thanks, but I remember things from 20 years ago and this is an exaggeration in many ways… Or perhaps I should say multiple exaggerations.

    Things were far more noticeably different 40+ years ago (which I also remember).

    Oh, and for what it’s worth, it’s still not illegal to bring a full water bottle on a plane. You just can’t bring one through security so you have to buy it in the airport after the checkpoints.

      I remember things from 20 years ago too. Absolutely none of what I said was an exaggeration. Many of these are facts which you can google.

      Things were far more noticeably different 40+ years ago (which I also remember).

      Sure. Things were way more different 60+ years ago, way way more different 80+ years ago, and way way way more different 100+ years ago. That’s not the point though.

      Oh, and for what it’s worth, it’s still not illegal to bring a full water bottle on a plane. You just can’t bring one through security so you have to buy it in the airport after the checkpoints.

      Ok, you got me there. I should have said:

      (cheating a little here, but I would be remiss not to mention this) In 2000, it wasn’t illegal to bring a full water bottle past airport security.

          You said “The world simply does not change that fast as a general rule”. I presented a few facts, you called them “multiple exaggerations”. There’s nothing to agree or disagree here - these are facts. You can google laws on homosexuality, cannabis, smoking, and airport security. You can search for when Google Maps was invented. Hell, if you were alive 20 years ago you should just know this.

          Maybe you got me confused with another poster - i’m not saying that the past 20 years was the most drastic change in human history. All I’m saying is that there have been significant changes in the last 20 years.

          Anyway, it doesn’t really matter what you think, so this is my last reply here.
