    yeah i'm not cold-hearted enough to believe that 9/11 wasn't a tragedy

    but it also acted as a wake up call is all i'm saying

    a wake up call from... unprecedented prosperity?

    no fuck you

    yo the 90's were only prosperous for some

    income inequality didn't just start going up as soon as W took office, it's been going steadily up ever since the "crisis of democracy" of the 70's

    It is a well know fact that the 00s were superior to the 90s culturally.

    That is a fact, you cannot deny that.

    okay, i admit that i was being a huge idiot in saying that america "deserved" 9/11. forgive me for that.

    i guess the point i was trying to put across was that 9/11 was a pivotal point in america's history that completely changed the nation's mood, outlook, and consciousness, and for the better, in my opinion.

    Your opinion on fashion was also pretty stupid, even without the 9/11 bit.

    9/11 was definitely a wake up call for some people to the fact that American isn't untouchable and America's actions do ultimately have consequences.

    It certainly was for me.

    I want to do with you

    I think "taste" is the word you should be concentrating on, not "better".

    we don't live in the 00s anymore, try looking at the hits from 2003/2004, best two years in pop music since the sixties in my opinion.

    "more good" is just another way of saying "better"

    Like, I wanted sushi yesterday, but today I want pizza. More good food today than yesterday?

    while the 90s had plenty of incredible albums, i think the 00s had tons of great albums that people don't really treat as the classics they are.

    also 97-99 were pretty dry times for good new releases, not saying there weren't any good albums, they were just few and far between.

    he's saying a greater numerical value of good albums happened in the 00s

    which means, for once, i can agree with dbrock
