View Full Version : The 2010's are almost ending....
MrCleveland 09-02-2019, 10:11 PM But why do I see the 2010's a failed and unidentified decade?
Is it because we were pushed behind with the economy?
Is it because the way of the world?
Is it because popular culture has nothing?
Is it me?
Steve_uk 09-03-2019, 02:53 PM I don't see any good came of it apart from possibly a few medical advances. Look at the financial crash, which we're all still paying for today. What about the pressure on families to earn a crust; no wonder we have a crime wave and a spate of anti-social behaviour. The drugs problem is out of hand, as I see from this story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/healthcare/woman-spent-more-than-dollar110000-on-drug-rehab-and-her-son-still-died/ar-AAGK1ta?ocid=spartanntp

It’s been a rough decade. I blame trickle-down economics, in its disastrous fourth consecutive decade of implementation. Someday that’s got to change.

I can see that...the Great Recession DID put us out-of-whack! The suburban white flight is in full-swing...if I lived in a 'burb that becomes more African-American and/or Latino-American...I'd still stay because the people are practically nice...and more well-to-do. Two years ago, me, my brother, and my dad passed-by Garfield Heights because my grandfather lived there...someone else moved-in my grandfather's house and they did a good job remodeling a 150-year-old farmhouse...I saw they even painted the mid-century doors.
And children...they have no form of discipline, no parental figure, and no sense on concept except that their parents will keep you under their thumbs...that or the parents are children!

Schmoopie 09-05-2019, 03:48 AM It makes me sad that I won't get to spend the 2020's with my husband.
Dude111 09-05-2019, 04:04 AM Yes ... im so sorry honey...... http://i59.tinypic.com/72tuzr.gif

I don't. It wasn't so great back then either.
Dude111 09-05-2019, 02:54 PM I hear ya..... The world started to goto hell in the 70s!!
Steve_uk 09-05-2019, 03:15 PM I hear ya..... The world started to goto hell in the 70s!!
I bet the suicide rates were lower.
Babalu 09-05-2019, 04:51 PM I don't. It wasn't so great back then either.
In 1977 an older woman said to NYC Mayor Ed Koch, "Make New York like it used to be."
Koch replied, "It never was like it used to be."

Agree 1000%...2006 sucked for me! I'd rather go back to the 1990's...corporation wasn't in full-swing, music was better, and it had an identity...
You can say I'm STILL Preoccupied with 1995...I even wrote a parody of the Bowling for Soup song "1985" and named it..."1995"...
Ducktales, Woohoo
Ducktales, Woohoo
I think I just hit the wall
I never had it all
At least one beer a day
Cleaning toilets again
My dreams went out the door
Before I hit thirty four
can't even find a woman
What happened to my plan?
I was gonna be an actor
I was gonna be a star
I was gonna write screenplays
In the backseat of McCartney's car
Mass transit you see, is now the enemy
I look at my dead-end life
And nothing has been alright
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Don't forget Nirvana
There was U2 and Hootie
And music still on M-T-V
My nieces in grade school
Think what I like is uncool
'Cause I'm still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1995
Woohoo
(1995)
Woohoo
I've seen all the classics
I knows every line
Goodfellas, Forrest Gump
Even Mrs. Doubtire
I rocked out to Pearl Jam!
Not a big Katy Perry fan
I knew I'd understand
Barenaked Ladies are Men!
Where's my Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
And who's the other voice in "Family Guy"?
When did reality become T.V.
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(On the TV there was)
Garfield, Tiny Toons
Animaniacs and Disney Afternoon
Sonic, MST3K
TGIF on Friday!
My nieces in grade school
Think what I like is uncool
'Cause I'm still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1995
Woohoo
We hate time make it stop
When did Green Day become classic rock?
And when did the Kardashians become cash cows?
Please make this
Stop! Stop! Stop!
And bring back
Friends, 3rd Rock, and Frasier
Seinfeld along with Kramer
Home Improvement, Drew Carey
Cartoons played on Saturday!
I'm like a kid out of school
At least some think I'm cool
'Cause I'm still preoccupied
1995
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Don't forget Nirvana
There was U2 and Hootie
And music still on M-T-V
I'm like a kid out of school
At least some think I'm cool
'Cause I'm still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1995

Thank you. Sorry, I was just kind of venting. Wasn't trying to bring everyone down. And thank you as well SitcomsHeydayfan

Jessica 09-06-2019, 08:49 PM So is there a particular time you would want to go to?
MrCleveland 09-06-2019, 10:36 PM So is there a particular time you would want to go to?
Either the 60's or the 90's...
Maybe I'd go to the 90's first and tape some shows that I like and give advice to others...then I'd take the VCR, a few tapes, and adapters that would work on a 1960's TV and go to the 1960's, and maybe record a few Johnny Carson Shows along the way as well as go to the first Woodstock!

Tvat sounds great! I would choose 80s and 90s.
Janice 09-07-2019, 02:23 AM Fall has arrived early here. It was in the 50s yesterday, down from the 80s of last week. I'm not complaining. I love the Fall and winter months and hate the heat.

Same here Janice , as I am getting older I can't stand the really hot summer! :p Out here in So Cal where I am we don't get majorly cold winters and snow and all but the weather does get cooler and we get rain, which I prefer to very hot dry heat!;)
Bring on the fall! I am so ready for pumpkins and turkey and cooler weather! Football has already started , I am so glad!!! :):wave:
MrCleveland 09-26-2019, 11:09 PM I considered 2010 as a bad year...I lost finance, I lost the family dog, and nothing seemed to be worthwhile...but I did live with my brother and I did a few things like see a few rock concerts.
But 2019 is far worse for me...I got my hours cut, I had problems with my landlady's sister, and my dad wants me to move-back home. I even have a list on why 2019 sucks...
1-My Church Home...I have to be a member there until they let me go.
2-My Job...My ex-boss got fired and I'm on my own!
3-Restructuring My Life...It took me months to get my finances in order!
4-Finances...I don't have much money in the bank!
5-Summer...I didn't go anywhere or do anything.
6-The Podcast...Because of my brother, I lost my radio show!
7-My Father...he wasn't doing well all this year.
8-House life...having someone throw-away stuff that I need? I can't even find a new place!
9-The Cleveland Idiots...I made a thread about their season!
10-The Cleveland Clowns...Too Much Hype, Not Enough Play...now we got embarrassed nationally!
11-Notre Dame...One of Paris' landmarks will be restructured even longer.
12-Entertainment World...anything good lately?
13-Woodstock 50...never happened due to conflicts!
14-The U.S. Leaders...don't even get me started!
15-Migration...too many problems with this.
16-Brexit...just let The United Kingdom Be!
Crusinforabrusin2.5 09-26-2019, 11:44 PM Hopefully the world becomes less negative and hateful in the 2020s.
Don't know about you, but I can't stand all the hate and negativity the world has

Leaving aside the democratic arguments for a moment, there never was free trade, because the UK contributes £13billion to the EU budget for the benefit of us trading with them, and receives £4 billion back.
