There is less than two months until the noughties (or, as us Americans would say, naughties) are over. I hope you enjoyed the decade, there is no denying its importance.
Ah, yes. We must remember all the awesome stuff that happened this decade.
I mean, how many Zelda games did we get these past ten years? Six, at least?
Yeah, at least six.
I can't believe how fast this decade has gone by.
Time always flies by for (relatively) young people.
I always it assumed it went faster when you get older.
No, everyone older than (say) 30 that I know usually thinks that time moves too slow.

Yeah, so do I.
Yeah, I think the overall consensus is that time seems to go by faster the older you get. It certainly has in my experience. It makes sense for it to be that way because the older you get, a given amount of time becomes a smaller proportion of the time you've been alive. A year for a 5 year old is essentially 1/5 of their life while a year for a 50 year old is 1/50 of their life. That is the best explanation for this phenomenon that I have ever heard.
That's more or less what I heard as well.
Also, technically, the decade doesn't end until December 31, 2010.
Actually, I think it would be equal to the limit of the timeline as our time approaches 12:00 A.M. on January 1, 2010. ^^;
Technically 1990 is part of the 80's. Does anyone actually care, though? When referring to decades, it is a given to start from year zero and end at year 9, as in 1990-1999.
Well the thing is we're getting old and by the end of this year I will have practically seen two decades go by.
I still have a little longer before two decades, but I'm not too far away.
I have seen 21 score go by.
....
Um, yeah....
^^ You have seven years to go, right? Awesome number. :D
420 years, dude? :P
Care to explain? :P

Hey, speaking of 420...
*rolls a HUUUUUUUUUUGE fattie*
How did I know you were going to do something like that?
That is pretty hardcore, not going to lie. You know, middle aged women would kill for your secret.

Kurt Vonnegut is not amused.
Not that I care. XD

You mean me? I'm 16.
...Wait, what?
I thought you were, like, thirteen! O.o <?
haha. fail. :P
I could've sworn he said he was thirteen! D:
I was thirteen when I joined the site. Well, I thought you were still in high school during our PM conversation a few days ago, so I guess this makes us even.

Hah. You speak of thirteen-year-olds like small children. 8)
But that's okay, 'cause I turn 14 tomorrow. :P

Yeah, okay.

No need to get all defensive. It just seemed that way to me. Even I do that sometimes! ;)
Why can't people just take things at face value? DX *goes into the corner and pouts*
(Sorry if I came across as overly defensive, Colonel. :P The emoticon you used kind of made it seem like you were a bit miffed.)
Wow, just think... It was about ten years ago I saw all those ads about the year 2000 on Nickelodeon and how it was a bit of a futuristic theme and stuff. Ah, good times. :P

I remember that =]
yay for thinking I was going to wake up and it be like the Jetsons =]
Those years were awesome... ^_^
I have a feeling the early Noughties also included the year when my friends and I were having an awesome summer role playing and playing video games. Man, I miss that summer. T_T

Back on topic, I was a bit young, but I remember a lot. Most of all, I remember the Christmas my siblings and I got our Gamecube. The only game we had for quite awhile on it was Super Mario Sunshine and my older brother only ever played it, while my sister and I watched.
My older brother barely even talks to me anymore. Today is my birthday and he didn't even say "Happy Birthday" or anything. :-*
I miss 2002 :(

Yeah, my brother's a bit of an ***hat as well. He treats the house as just a place to shower and sleep, and sometimes eat. I really should hide the leftovers from him if he can't have the decency to join the family for a meal.

Happy birthday buddy of mine!
I've brought back this topic because the cover story of Time's latest issue is "The Decade From Hell: And why the next one will be better." Basically, they hated it. Really, not much to be nostalgic about, once you think about it: 9/11, Islamic radicals, George W. Bush, economic problems, Hurricane Katrina...
Not to mention the recession. That would be an understandable reason.
Even though the world didn't end, it was very close to making me wish it had.

I must say, Maggy... duh.
Oh. Whoops. Now I feel stupid. XD
Yeah I posted a link to that article on GF's facebook wall. This has been a rather depressing decade.
Oh joy, another thing to dislike about this decade: a referendum by voters in Switzerland approves of a ban of minaret construction. 8)
The ironic thing is, most churches in Switzerland opposed the ban. :P
Wow, that is ironic. :P
I wonder why.
I always thought the Swiss were so much more tolerant than most other peoples, too.
Apparently, it was because the construction of a minaret (which rose the total to four in the entire country) caused some controversy with the locals, and then the conservatives stepped in and made in nationwide.
Mountain out of a molehill dude.
Besides, there's a lot of stuff where Muslims in europe try to have certain stuff banned simply because their religion is against it. It's kind of weird and inappropriate.
