Alright, post your favorite decade here!

[Shrubhater]

My favorite decade is the 70's! :party: Disco Inferno!! :party:

[MissMillie]

1. The Clinton years (the '90s)

2. So do I. n/t

[kedrys]

3. Billy Jeff...where are you, Billy Jeff...?

We miss you horribly...COME BACK!!!!! :cry:

[jswordy]

18. Agreed. I made a lot of money when Bill was in charge.

I was able to hang onto some fraction of it after DUHbya took over. But my vehicles and my house were paid for by Bill's stewardship. I am free and clear on those because of Bill's policies. My wife's college education was paid for by Bill's policies.

I get sick to my stomach to hear pundits trying to sell us that things are really pretty good for the economy.

Not at my house. We're in a holding pattern. And we both are working a lot harder to just do that. And we're not even in debt much at all, compared to our peers.

But I know, the fact that we are not saving for retirement is OUR FAULT, right Republicans? We are just not responsible enough.

LOL.

7. 90's

I wish I would have taken more advantage of them

the 70's were pretty good too.

I hated the 80's, except for the birth of my first child.

the 50's and 60's were my childhood, so they were okay.

this decade, so far, is hell. Far worse than I ever imagined life could get.

[Shrubhater]

12. Is it hell because of the repuke empire(Bush and the rebubs)?

This is a serious question, please answer!

[leftofthedial]

19. politics of hatred, violence, fear,

incessant lies and distortions
the enronized economy
a deluge of personal issues triggered by the economic attacks on the middle class

root cause: the bushturd regime

[Shrubhater]

20. I barely remember the 90's.

After all, I was only 8 when that decade ended!

[RandomKoolzip]

8. The 1890's.

Nothing beats the gay nineties.

[Shrubhater]

13. The gay ninties? When was that?

[Left Is Write]

26. The 1890s were dubbed "The Gay Nineties."

Here's an article about it for you.

16. Depends

If I'm supposed to recommend one I lived through, the '60s rule, even if I was too young to go to Woodstock. (And if I had, I'd probably have taken the brown acid, and I'd be even more of a babbling idiot today.)

But there's a lot to be said for the first decade of the 20th century too, in terms of artistic progress. There's a book called The Banquet Years, covering the arts in Paris in the years 1885-1915, that makes a strong case for that epoch being perhaps the most concentratedly creative generation ever.

[enigmatic]

17. Music? 1980's (college rock, specifically)

For everything else? The 1940's..

[LastKnight]

30. You just gave me an image...

Oooooooo...

27. Hard to say. I liked the 70s as a decade, but I was just a kid, and

1978 especially and part of 1979 were very bad years for me socially.

I loved the 80s. I turned 18 and graduated from high school in 1984 and had my first child in 1987. I had lots of friends and a good social life in the 80s. I liked the clothes and music (though I hope pegleg, high-waisted pants and stirrup pants stay permanently buried now!). It was also a time of tremendous emotional growth for me. However, I couldn't stand either Reagan or Bush I, and I found the elections of 1984 and 1988 very discouraging.

I loved the 90s, though I spent a large portion of them struggling as a single mother trying to balance the beginning of a new career with the needs of my child. That wasn't easy. I have many fond memories of good times in the 90s, though. Good times and happy times. I met and married my husband in 1997, we bought our first house in 1998, and we had our first child together (my second child) in 1999.

28. The 1990's.

I'm only 26 years old, so my choices are limited (as is my memory), but I loved the 1990's. I was in high school from 1992 to 1996, & college from 1996 to 2000.

Bill Clinton was in charge. Ginsburg and Breyer got appointed to the Supreme Court. Newt Gingrich made a terrific punching bag for us in 1996. Lewinsky was the biggest thing we worried about in college. Being able to gloat to the Mississippi rednecks in the dorm on Election Night 1996 was hilarious. And you gotta admit, seeing all of that blue on the electoral map was pretty frickin' awesome. Kentucky? Montana? Georgia? Whoa! Watching the GOP go crazy over Clinton beating them just plain tickled me.

I came out in 1996. Fell in love. Snuck him into my dorm room after midnight. Took long walks in the woods. Met his family. Went on solitary Spring Breaks together. Daytrips from Ole Miss to Memphis for day-long shopping trip dates. And it seems like the gay rights movement was picking-up steam back then. Ellen coming-out on television. Colorado's Amendment 2 being struck-down. My first gay pride parade in New Orleans, ending in my friends & I fleeing a hurricane at 6am in the morning. My first gay bar visit. Telling my friends and family one by one. That was fun.

The 1990's even seemed better culturally. Saturday Night Live saw Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, Cheri O'teri, and Will Ferrell all rise up. With the exception of maybe the mid-90's, SNL was pretty good that decade. Music seemed less crappy back then; people actually seemed to sing, and write their own songs. Now it all seems so cookie-cutter. And primetime television.. these were the times before reality television. Hooray, indeed.

1999 was a learning year for me. It was my third year in college, and I ended-up diagnosed with testicular cancer in April. By august, I was declared in remission, but not before two surgeries (one was particularly nasty). But I learned more than before to cherish this one life I had. I also spent that summer at my parents' house in New Orleans, where I realized how much I love and miss them. *sniff*

Yup. The 1990's were full o'hope. The eternal optimist in me, now almost dead, still looks for that glimmer of possibility that one day we'll return. But the pessimist in me says to be thankful that I got to experience it. Such is life, I guess. It's been interesting, and it'll continue to be that way..

29. 80's. I was a teenager and loving life.

Playing in my band, parties, girls, drugs and Heavy Metal in it's heyday.
