1. Y2K

The nonexistent threat?

Clinton's prevention of the Millenium attack on LAX?

2. War and poverty!

3. I miss the World Trade Centers...

... in 2000, we still had 'em.

And a damn fine President, too.

[DeaconBlues]

4. Absolutely nothing

I wish the decade was already a bad memory, along with SUVs, Bush, and Britney Spears.

5. What about this here? What about the protests? What about the struggle?

For many, that's a big part of their nostalgia for Sixties. Won't the Zeros be even bigger, for being known, for that sort of thing?

7. In the sixties the protests accomplished something

Our protests now can't even maintain the status quo. We protested, and the election of 2000 was still stolen. We protested, and we still went to war. We gave our money and time, ane we still lost the elections of 2002 and 2004.

In the last five years, I have been the more politically active than I have in my lifetime. The experience has left me more frustrated than nostalgic.

10. I feel the same way.

2004 was like a gigantic fuck you to every one in the world who worked for peace and justice since 2000. In the 1960s, there was reason to believe the protests amounted to something. I don't see what the protests since 2000 have accomplished at all besides making the left look even more impotent than it really is.

6. Nothing.

In terms of both popular culture and current events, this has been the worst decade of my lifetime.

[Borgnine]

8. I have no clue.

This has been one of the most vapid, empty decades yet, and the only thing to define it so far has been blind patriotism and death.

The only "defining" things of this decade I can really think of are reality television, increased censorship (from all angles), and the aforementioned America-cheering.

9. UN declared "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence"

The United Nations General Assembly declared the (mostly overlapping) decade of 2001-2010 as the "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World".

11. they'll feel nostalgia for nostalgi

remeber when we didn't have any real musicians or culture of our own and we spent our time watching nostalgic looking-back shows on v-h1 instead of seeing actual new videos?

those were the days! let's take a look back at looking back.
