Subject: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
What do you think about this decade so far? Bad, Good, weird or just normal.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
I think 9-11 immediately takes it out of the realm of normalcy.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
From a personal stand point, It was pretty good before 9/11. It's bad now because I don't have a job. from a world standpoint, If the 90's were good, than the 00's are bad, the begining of the 90's saw the end of the USSR, and the succesful liberation of Kuwait. This decade we've had 9/11, almost had nuclear war, and to top it off the Isreali conflict.

I don't think that youngsters growing up now will want to remember these first two years for the bad times. People who have only seen this decade, those less than two and a half years old, born at the turn of the third millennium will remember the good times, the fun times, and the times in their own lives which they enjoyed, not those on the television of what's happening in other countries. A child's mind is based on that only that he or she can draw interest from.
From a personal statement, the 00s have been a good decade. If it all ended tomorrow, I know that I have loved and lost, a feeling that we all have to face at some point in our lives.
Oh, and there's the small matter that Manchester United didn't win the Premiership this season, David Beckham's foot, Liverpool's yearly six-pointers over our team, and, happily, Brighton and Hove Albion's recent spell in the leagues. After nearly being relegated out such a short time ago, with practically no money in the bank, they're doing great. I think it's been a great few years for them!
People growing up now will not want to remember 9/11, that's for sure. I understand that it will be remembered by us, but not by those who have only two years of life experience behind them.

There are good days and bad....for each it is different...I myself have had more bad than good....2000 my mom in law was killed in a car accident....2001 paps had a major heart attack like you all know and was in the hospital for 3 months and was touch and go...and now this year my hubby and I split....but one to not get down and out....I am looking forward to 2003 and all the promises and hopes it might bring....that is what we all have to do !!! ;) ;)
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
That's a tough question. It has had it's bad moments (9/11, my grandfather's death), but for the most part it has been pretty good. My life does not change much and I have just been raising my daughter, watching her change every day. I think watching the transition from diapers and walkers to walking, talking, drawing, reading etc is what makes it wonderful.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
Lots of sadness mixed in with some joy. (5 each, if you all don't mind :-/ First to the Joy:
Finding this board and meeting all of you ;)
My nephew getting married recently
Making up with my sister after years of misunderstanding
My parents continued friendship and good health
Bush becoming President (Please Don't hurt me?!)
Sadness
My son Blaine being murdered :'( :'(
followed by everyone else that has lost thier lives...nothing more to say.

The 00s were pretty similar to the 90s, which isn't saying much because the 90s pretty much sucked. The first WTC attack in 1994 was a harbinger of things to come in 2001. Unfortunately, I think a worse catastrophe than 9-11 may be yet to come. :(

The 90's didn't suck. The economy was pretty good in the late 90's. They were downpoints like the OJ Trial, Clinton scandal, Persain Gulf War, WTC in '94, and the Oklahoma City bombing. In the 80's you had the stock market crash in 87. You have something to look at downpoint and uppoint wise for every decade. Look at the 60's and that was a pretty depressing time. The 00's are not easy like the 90's were thats for sure but as long as you have a place to live in, a car to drive, and a job you're in a pretty good position. The 00's have seen downpoints like WTC, Enron and Tyco CEO's involed in scandals such as shredding documents, and not paying taxes.

This decade is very depressing.Every day,I'm seeing tragedy.You never know what goes on when you're sleeping and during the night. :'( -howard-(don't call me jammin'!)
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
Epic events and popular entertainment certainly do make for memorable decades. As for myself, the personal choices I've made, however wise or foolish, form my recollections of a given decade, for the most part.
The 00's, thus far, are not what I'd call one of my better decades, but as always, that's subject to change. For the country and the world I'd say this is a time of upheaval, nothing new to history, of which the outcome is uncertain.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
u would have to say this decade has been pretty depressing.. it was great to bring in the new millenium of the year 2000.. everyone was looking to the future as technology, economic trends surged stronger than ever!
then a year later on Sept. 11, 2001, 19 guys with a death wish change history forever and hijack commercial planes, crashing them into landmarks and killing thousands of innocent americans. it is dubbed the worse attack on american soil ever, more so than pearl harbor some 50 odd years ago.
i hope the worst is behind us! by the end of the 00's we might have fonder memories...
The 80's had the challanger disaster, the 90's had the OJ Simpson trial, the 00's will be remembered for 9/11. ???
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
everytime I open up the newspaper something is always going on:
-cars crashing into buildings
-people drowning
-shootings
-hijackings
-murders
-deaths
-weapons
-killings
It's no fun reading the newspaper because it contains lots of negativity.But you know something,I read it anyway cause it keeps me busy all day long. -howard-(don't call me jammin'!) :D
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
The media have been even worse this year, which has made this decade seem more depressing then it should be.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
Of personal significance, my nearly 11 year relationship with my girlfriend has come to an end as of last night and the pain cannot be described with mere words. Could it be argued that I waited too long? To answer my own question: everyone and everything has limits.
As I more-or-less stated above, your day/week/month/decade might be bite from a s**t sandwich, but nobody says that you gotta like it.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
I'm sorry to hear about that.

Howard....not jammin..you best rethink that last line you just posted...or all hell is gonna rain down on you!!!!!!! >:(
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
The lack of a ring, in my case, was not the only reason for the split and probably not the most important to either of us, Howard. Airing all my dirty laundry to the world would be nothing short of pathetic. All things said, I've got to blame myself for this one.
Subject: Re: Your thoughts about this decade so far.
well,we together 5 years.We broke up in October of last year.I think their Family wanted me to marry her.I told her"We can't marry yet"!Back then,she was living with her Mother and she was attending a workshop and so was I.We don't have incomes.If I said that,she would get upset and walk away from me.Now,she lives in a residence for mentally disabled.She broke up with me cause she thought she was better than I was.So what If I live with my Father and Mother.I think she wanted to leave her Mother.I think they were both annoyed with each other at that time. -howard-
