the 2000's suck. do you agree? READ before answering?

Question

Bad Things:
1. Radio stations (no more '60s music on the radio)
2. TV (Too many reality shows)
3. Rap music (what's the big deal?! Rock 'n' roll is king)
4. Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton... (All out for publicity)
5. School Shootings
6. Remakes of movies (that's all you will see in the theaters)
7. Iraq War
8. Mexicans take over the U.S.
9. High Gas Prices
10. The cost of living goes up
11. Dollar stores everywhere!
12. MTV is dead (no more music videos. more reality shows)
13. No more classic TV shows on TV (shows from the '50s, '60s, and '70s)
14. Gay Marriage (Gay people should be put in mental institutions. Just my opinion. I see Homosexuality as a mental illness. )

Good Things:
1. Technology (cell phones, Internet, etc)
2. Cars - air bags and seat belts (cars from the '60s had none of that stuff)
3. More cures for diseases and illnesses (we had none of that stuff 40 years ago)

It's hard to think about the good things.

Answer 1

here's a star for you.

EDIT: What's with all the thumbs down? I gave him a star in an attempt to make him feel better. I don't necessarily agree with his opinion.

Answer 2

Let me add some stuff.

Cartoons S-U-C-K! Disney and Nick are pathetic now. No more Doug, Hey Arnold, Disney Afternoon etc.

Rap has become abysmal. What happened to people with TALENT like A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B and Rakim, Gang Starr, Public Enemy, ETC.

America has become obsessed with stupid shows like American Idol and other reality crap. There is a freaking Fox Reality Channel. Almost all comedies nowadays just cannot compare to stuff like Seinfeld. Also, african american tv shows have gone down the drain. We miss you Fresh Prince!

No more Michael Jordan.

All of Disney's new movies are pathetic. What happened to stuff like the Fox and the Hound, Toy Story, etc.

And YES, MTV is DEAD. Wow what teenage girls did to an incredible TV station.

Though this only happened last year, Monday Night Football is no longer on ABC.

The Simpsons episodes were classic.

All people can do is whine about the war, and gay rights etc.

It is clear that the 20th century reigns supreme.

The only good stuff to come out of the 2000's is technology and HDTV.

Answer 3

Ehh, I don't agree with your whole entire laundry list, but in general I'd say you are correct.

What it boils down to, I think, is that we've spent the past 20-30 years or so, really letting our Media and our Politicians *attack* people for having any sense or intelligence, and *attack* people for caring about our society's problems and poor people....

And now we wonder *why* we have a culture based on greed, stupidity, and not a whole lot else. -_-

And yes, it is hard to think about the good things....but at least you are on the right track and can *understand* the concept of mental illness--that the brain's an organ of the body, and can get sick like any other--which puts you maybe a step ahead of your average bible-thumping nutter.

Maybe. But hey, what do I know? -_-

Thanks for your time.

Answer 4

Yeah, BUT there is thing to counter those bad things...I have all my music on CD so I dont have to listen to new crappy music, I dont watch reality tv, I do watch AMC and TV Land, I love dollar stores for some stuff, and I'm not gay so I dont worry about gay marriage, it doesn't concern me. The other things I cant control I just deal with. Every generation had their crap too. We dont build bomb shelters or worry about the russians, do we? Polio is nearly eradicated. Its all in how you look at it. Just dont procreate if it sucks for you now. Try a classic rock station, and look up the Bath Michigan school shootings from the maybe 1920's? it still has the record for worst school shooting in history.

Answer 5

if only i could go back to the 2000s i was 1 in 2000 but gas was cheaper, no kardashians, no miley Cyrus gone nutz, no beiber feaver (the black plague of the 2010s), they still played a little 60s but if you look at it we have went down hill since the late 80s like 87-2014 worse things are to come believe me

Answer 6

I'll have to tell you, you've got it all wrong. grow up and move on. most of these things aren't bad, you exaggerate, you have an ignorant opinion, and the whole Britney Spears/ Lohan/ Hilton thing is nobody's business. i don't personally like them but its their lives, leave them alone! I'm sorry to say i cant wait until all people like you are six feet under.

you really want to know whats bad about present day? our government is so corrupt and full of sell-outs, we're hardly living in a democracy.

BTW: homosexuals are people just like you and I and homosexuality has been around since BC, its nothing new. you make me sick.

Answer 7

yes the 2000s suck i hate TV there is nothing good on anymore and the rap music really sucks the only thing good that i see is the new ford mustang now that's sweet . we will always have classic music stations but i miss MTV to. I'm glad you posted this question i hate the way our country is turning out to.

Answer 8

yah but stuff just as bad has happened in the past. the great depression, world war I, world war II, there have been other school shootings, oil rationing, plus a lot more. but i have to agree about the MTV is dead thing. MTV sucks.

Answer 9

I was with you until #8. You also lost me big time on #14, and #3 in "Good Things". I can't think of anything that's been cured in a LONG time. Treatments get better, sure... but cures? They don't do that anymore. There's no money in cures.
I'm not even going to touch #8 and #14 with a 10' pole.

Answer 10

Gay Marriage isn't legal in the 2000's, and your inability to accept people for who they are is a mental illness in itself, so maybe its you that needs to be put in a mental institution. How dare you insult human beings like that, You are an embarrassment to the human population.

Answer 11

Even though so much has happened and much is not so good...It all is what you make of it in your life. I agree that many bad things have happened but every decade has it downfalls....just find the brighter side of things.
