This decade sucked (2000-2010)
 

Total garbage compared to the 80s and 90s :2 cents:

ugh, had a bad day? :Oh crap

i dont think so, i think its been pretty good.

2000 to 2004 1/2 was better than 2004 1/2 to 2009 mostly cause i was in college and life was a LOT easier

well, world began turning into shit since 9/11 for sure. But it wasnt better before :)

Have you really looked at what was accomplished, done, invented, etc. during this decade? Even what became common practice.

Every decade has its advancements and issues. I just honestly can not say this decade sucked.

Examples please. Iphones are not accomplishments

The decade is 2000-2009.

2010 is the beginning of a new decade. Your title is incorrect.

I love 1997.

Sorry...you are mistaken. The count goes 2000-2001 = 1 year etc.

Hey "the dumb fuck"

A decade is a period of ten years. The term usually refers to a period of ten years starting at a multiple of ten. For example, "the 1990s" refers to 1990 through to 1999.

But in case u still don't get it ...

2000 (Jan 1st - Dec 31st) = year 1
2001 (Jan 1st - Dec 31st) = year 2
2002 = year 3
2003 = year 4
2004 = year 5
2005 = year 6
2006 = year 7
2007 = year 8
2008 = year 9
2009 = year 10

Theking forgot to take his medicine. Someone at the home is getting fired

When you are right...you are right...but I have always counted it the way I stated...and I suppose that I will continue to do so. It appears that I am not alone in this method of counting.

Started good... then I was sick for 8 years... Hoping 2010 will be the start of the good part of life! Yeay, decade sucked! Well, I got married, that didn't suck :)

Speaking about suck & marriage... got to go to bed...!

We need a new war...

By 2012, 80% of the posters here will be working other jobs. Probably me too.

You are about to get one. Iran just dropped the US Dollar for their reserve currency. As soon as they stop the buying and selling of their oil in USD, it will be time to find a reason to invade them. It will be nice and wrapped up so the people are behind it. Something about them with nuclear weapons.

Remember this post.

The method of counting in which 10 = 11? Interesting...

Wow... I am speechless. Really. Think about it. Pretend 2000 and 2001 have a value of 1, WHICH THEY DO IN TERMS OF DECADES but bear with me. So that means 1+1=2 not 1. Now follow me and I will apply the same values to the remaining years.

1. 2000=1
2. 2001=1
3. 2002=1
4. 2003=1
5. 2004=1
6. 2005=1
7. 2006=1
8. 2007=1
9. 2008=1
10. 2009=1

1x10=10(decade)

If we were to follow your brilliant logic we would have 11 year decades(2000-2010).

:error

See avatar... It's no longer just a way of life, it is a disease.

Yeah, this decade just seemed to get worse as it went on.

Technology grew to much, too fast.

Hmm...no. Where 10=10 and not 9.

I've had worse.

You really are an idiot. Just because the first year of a decade (which is ALWAYS 1980, 1990, 2000) has a 0 in it, doesn't mean it HAS a value of zero. It is actually 1 as far as the decade starting point ending with 9 which = 10.

See my simple math above that you seem unable to grasp.

Mind boggling. My kids can count to 10 without turning it into an 11 and when corrected thinking we are counting to 9. WTF! I would be embarrassed of myself if I were you. :helpme

Next year really sucked it!

OMG. :helpme:error

great stuff!

this new century keeps bringing me down

you guys think you had it bad you have NO idea what I've been through this decade. 24/7 torture from military pain beams over 7 years is just the tip of the iceberg. The Truman Show turned very nasty.

Don't believe the government would torture me? I give the reason here www.GreatestMagicShowOnEarth.com

A child is born on
January 1st 2000
January 1st 2001=1 year old
January 1st 2002=2 years old
"" 2003=3 years old
" 2004=4 years old
" 2005=5 years old
" 2006=6 years old
" 2007=7 years old
" 2008=8 years old
" 2009=9 years old
" 2010=10 years old

Not 9 years old...not 11 years old...but 10 years old. The child has lived for 1 decade.

Now I am aware that a multiple of ten is used with the 1st year not being being year 1 but instead is year 0...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9 but I personally do not...have not...and wil not count that way...thank you very much.

Dec 31 2000 a year has passed.

Dec 31 2009 10 years have passed
Jan 1 2010 the 11th year begins.

You just keep making yourself look dumber and dumber. You know why you method works above. Because you are talking about AGE. You START at age 0. You don't start a fucking decade at year zero. When you count on your damn fingers do you start with 0?

WTF is wrong with you, someone failed you miserably. You must not have made it far in school with those magical counting skills.

Here you go genius:

"A decade is a period of ten years... starting at a multiple of ten. For example, "the 1950s" refers to 1950 through to 1959 (inclusive)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade

Notice it is NOT 1950 to 1960, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE 11 YEARS.

Go look at them all for yourself... just hover over a decade and it will say what everyone is trying to tell you.

cmon we never had 1TB hard drives in 1999 :)

1 TB? damn, you are way behind your times. 1.5 TB drives are standard and matured, 2TB are being sold but I don't trust them yet.

By the way, iphones are a tech progress, the smallest computer around to read your mail, check web sites, etc.

Only thing missing is an optional full size keyboard via bluetooth or cable. That would allow me to write blog posts and substantial emails.

Porn is getting better too. Have you checked some of the vintage 80ies porn? lame action with fairly lame girls. No scores of 18.5 year olds getting used and abused in all ways.

Hell, 80% of the people that were here in 2001 are working other jobs. :1orglaugh

I think it was quite good

if you look at crime and some of that stuff this decade has rocked.

Musically speaking it was bad but not as bad as the late 90's.

Some good things happened in 2000-2009 like the tecnological achivements in computers, cell phones and video games. Other than that I agree that the 90's where better...

For me, this decade has been awesome, and has gotten much much much better in the second half than in the first half.

The 90s were great for me too, but I had a totally different lifestyle back then.

Music sucked.
TV sucked.
Movies sucked.
Economy sucked.
Politics sucked.

I can't wait for the roaring 20's to come back around.

Bring back the 80's where i didn't give a shit about anything!! :pimp

It has been a bumpy one for me for sure but there has been some good stuff there too . So, pretty much like an other decade.

i agree. no one in their right mind would look back at 2000-2010 as a great decade. name one noteworthy social, economic, artistic, spiritual breakthrough.

the new dark ages.

Obama being elected. Thats about it.

actually reading this thread proves humanity seriously derailed the last decade.

80's and 90's totally rocked!

yeah a couple things. but most of the responses will be "my favorite band" or "my favorite tech toy." "this tv show was cool."

this decade was really a piece of shit. except for scammers and mass murderers. then it was great.

I loved the 80s ..ET Rocked ......Gabbage Patch Kids Rocked... Pac Man Rocked ..Aids Did Not Rock
