What's The Defining Moment Of This Decade?

[Robbie G]

I agree. 9/11 started a chain of events that's led to the a lot of the shit going on in the world today.

[Dazed]

9/11 which led to everything else that's fucked up life.

Some could say 9/11 led to that. It's hard to tell what would have happened, but Bush might not have done so shitty if it wasn't for 9/11. Then the country wouldn't have voted in a radical left president thinking they wanted change.

Yes, I guess 911 is the shit that defines this decade. Everything is about Terrorism nowadays.

i agree with this, i dislike all politicians mainly because of lies and deceit so Obama is no different, although a perhaps more preferable candidate over someone who's VP is a gimmick no brainer

9/11 is the U.S.'s Hiroshima which is actually not that bad compared in death tolls, it did destroy our decade which looked on the up and up from what i gather now, Clinton had us going in the right direction till Bush's son took the reigns after a less than fair election

Worldwide:

9/11 attacks, because of the people beiing killed directly and indirectly by it. The war on terrorism after it, in wich a lot of innocent people were killed. The opportunity for the U.S. government to misabuse this event to do things they never could have done without this happening. The worldwide change of politics and mentality it brought and ofcourse the massive economic concequences of it.

In my country:

The murder on politician Pim Fortuyn and movie maker Theo van Gogh. They both had very controversial opinions on immigrants and the Islam. Their deaths changed the entire political climate and the debate on immigration has gotten more and more intense, people are very devided. Some people are now misabusing the emotions coming forth out of it to get more power. These are some unhealthy developments in my opinion. It affected my country on a huge scale and our tolerance, where we were known for and proud of, seems to be fading ever since.

Probably 9/11. I was just because I had seen the twin towers like the year before it had happened. I think I was like 10. Then all of a sudden everyone seemed to hate Muslims and I couldn't understand why, heck, even some people I thought were friends were being assholes to me because of 9/11. So I'd have to say it was 9/11, because of the anti-muslim mood of the world, it led to the "war on terror", invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, basically a huge chunk of the drama in this decade.

[BILI]

Yeah probably 9/11
but in my country its me joining this forum

Obama's "gimmick" was supposedly being "black" when he's mixed race. They just used it to their advantage to get the majority black vote

okay but it's still the first non-white president we've elected

[Relapse.LP]

Probably 9/11, but the recent recession has really opened our eyes again.

People who keep hating on Bush probably don't know what the fuck goes on in politics, so shut the fuck up. I'm by all means a Democrat, but it's ignorant hating on Bush, just because it is cool.
