So I know we all identify with the decade we grew up in, but if you can try and look at the question without bias, which decade of the 20th/21st century would you call the best, and why?

1970s

1990's were pretty cool with all of our economic prosperity, the advent of the Internet, etc.

the 1960's were also pretty great with the cultural revolutions, civil rights act, moon landing, etc.

what does loudRyan think?

i'm assuming this thread was made since you all had a conversation about this topic

shouldn't the answer have to be a decade that the responding poster existed during?

are we supposed to answer this from a historical/theoretical point of view, or from how a particular decade affected us (our living conditions and happiness) personally?

i can only answer the latter. i would say the current decade. for me the answer will always be "the current decade" no matter when you ask me, as living conditions and technology gets better as time goes on (unless of course there is some catastrophic world war in the future which wipes out a big chunk of the world).

1304 to 1314 for obvious reasons

I think we can all agree the Aughts isn't coming out a winner: tech bubble burst, 9/11, George Bush, 2008 recession, multiple wars (and the economy still isn't booming).

Most of us then, answering from experience, can only really say the 90s for aforementioned reasons or maybe.... the 80s (80s music and video games: golden age of arcade video games AND release of NES, Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc.)

the 90s were cool and here's a good reason, Clinton getting dome from a fat chick in the white house.

the 60s were cool and here's a good reason, Kennedy getting dome from a fat chick in the white house.

2050s are gonna be pretty kickass

5/29/2012 1:12:08 PM

we will see about that!

5/29/2012 1:42:28 PM

1950's.

5/29/2012 1:50:49 PM

90s. The advent of the internet is the most important technological event since electricity.

5/29/2012 1:55:49 PM

If we're strictly talking a decade then it would be the 70s but if we can pick any 10 consecutive years I would say 1975-1984.

The 2010's are going to be good

5/29/2012 4:37:06 PM

That I've lived through? Probably the 90s. The Internet was young and novel, economic prosperity was happening,
and there was a real sense of progress in the air. We weren't blowing our national budget on wars, and I wasn't living with the sense that any small teeter in the stock market was going to send us plummeting off a fine precipice into the start of a serious post-civilization collapse.
