I agree with the generic sentiment but you're several years too late. 9/11 happened in 2001 and it all started going downhill after that day. Plus the internet was in full swing well before 2005. Google.com was going full steam and they started back around '98 or something.

I'm guessing you're younger than I am so I would say early to mid 90s was the pinnacle.

The Cosby's ended in '92.

Perfect Strangers ended in '93.

Family Matters was in their heyday (ran from '89 to '97).

Full House was nearing the end ('87 to '95).

Roseanne was killing it too ('88 to '97).

Rock and alternative was at its best. "Gangsta rap" too. Aerosmith's Livin' on the Edge came out in '94. They're not even my favorite band but listen to the lyrics.

The X-Files started in '93!

I named just a few cultural phenomena that media have been desperately trying to replicate since then and have never achieved. It's all repeats and reboots since.

9/11 and the Patriot Act ruined everything! We're still getting checked for bombs in our shoes and can't bring on liquids. We lost the "civil" part when every person, including small children, became equally probable of being a Muslim terrorist as dirty sweaty Muslim men. (I'm speaking in generalities when it comes to profiling likely perps.)

The mask thing will never go away unless we take freedom back.

Take your computer and all your belongings and drive them to your nearest reservation and donate them. Donate the vehicle you took there too. Ask someone to drive you back home. I'm sure they won't mind.

While you're at it, give up your job and your home to someone that deserves it.

My favorite part is "Russia does not need minorities, minorities needs Russia...".

No, that's a naïve take on it. If CNN hadn't been so against Trump the whole time we would have seen less derisiveness between the two sides and even more converts to the right.

We can't even comprehend how different the past five years would have been without this kind of interference.

This is fantastic news. It's also the only way these people will be put in their place and rethink what they're doing.

We were doing well when we called ourselves a melting pot and insisted on assimilation. Then it started to be called a salad bowl and now it's shit.

You can't have everyone pulling in a different direction!

There are no "trans youth". There are children being psychologically and physically abused by their parent/mother.

Maybe this is normal but 791 upvotes and just 11 comments. That says to me a lot of people are excited about news like this but might also be a little weary. Or maybe that's just mean.

It's like... Oh lawd is out going to happen???? Are we getting close to the first card falling?

Training budgets are always the first to go. Armor is another one. Those have a lifespan of a few years and departments will often not renew.

She doesn't even know how the mechanics work. She has no sense of what it takes. She kept grabbing the line higher and higher giving her less and less opportunity to yank on it.

Is this still true?? I heard about this a few weeks ago. Maybe even more.

The play for our side is to have even more cameras recording the events and, the more important part, violently stop even the smallest amount of violence or destruction taking place.
