strange since that date? Wars --- There was Bush declaring a war on terror

Afghanistan Iraq torture chemical weapons threats biological warfare bills are passed powers expanded and general war footings everywhere

Currency problems on an international scale world recessions and bursting bubbles

Birds falling out of the sky volcano's erupting and day shortening earthquakes 3 of them in less than 5 years

I don't care what you do or don't think happened on or between now and then --


Do you find that it is getting stranger and stranger since

200 cows dead in Wisconsin -- its a virus
Fire crackers scaring birds to death
Air traffic to Europe rerouted due to volcanic ash

Stranger and stranger --- ?

Your friggin right -- yep 100 %

Its been strange for a long long time -- Some periods worse than others -- Some places went along quietly for a while others didn't

And since -- 9/11 -- it has taken a new level step in the direction of science fiction

Stranger and stranger
 
The world has always been strange, we're just now paying attention. Mass deaths of animals have occurred for centuries. In politics, look at Clinton's era. Stranger then, still. 6 attacks by the same terrorist group and nothing was done? As a matter of fact, the military was slashed. Fannie and Freddie were careening out-of-control, yet nothing was done aside from pacification. NAFTA was signed, sending jobs elsewhere, the other companies just followed behind? Unions, allegedly for "American Workers," supported the party sending the jobs overseas? We had little deficit by the end of his first term, but by the end of his 2nd, we were already over $5 trillion in the hole.

Regardless, we live in a strange world.
 
Sigh.

I take it you are not old enough to remember the events of the 1980's and 1990s?

Chemical weapons were used by Iraq and Lybia in the 1980's. Chemical weapos were used in a terrorist attack in the 1990's.

The world's first bioterror attack occurred in Oregon in the 1980's.

Mount Saint Helens exploded in the 1980's.

The Asian Financial Crisis occurred in the 1990's.

In 1988 an earthquake in Armenia killed over 25,000 people

And finally - remember the 'Dot-Com' bubble of the 1990s.
 
not really, I was in Europe when Gaddafi was trying to blow up schools and I was a boy when the Berlin was was still up. We are still in the same hole- just new things have happened to make it worse.

I think we are still suffering from the cold war, only now the weapons are entirely political and economic. Only crazies threaten with nukes anymore, now they infiltrate society with half baked ideas and create confusion with complicated financial disaster.
 
I don't know Kilgore.
Is the world we live in any stranger than it would have been as a Liberal or a Jew in 1930's Europe?

How about living in Georgia in 1865 and watching Blue Coat Soldiers burn everything in their path?

How would we have felt in Rome, watching midgets fight to the death for entertainment?

Maybe the world has always been over the top insane and we are just living in one time and place.
 
Yes, it was an important event.

The currency problems existed prior to 9/11 and have followed the same general trend. Similarly, earthquakes have happend and volcanoes erupt. Animals die in mass numbers, it's just that the media reports it more now. No change there.
 
Why politicians try to appeal to the don't know they are born angry babyboomers is anyone's guess, America got polarolised, insuler, angry so Jack Sh1t (once Straw) told them to eat some kind of ham product and get drunk and what did they do, gave up alcohol and joined al qaeda, I blame the commies Thatcher nurtured within the public sector that turned private with a stake in the company despite no capital investment. Don't comprehend, I'm shocked.
