Bah, fuck it. Sorry guys, forgot to take my anti-depressants today.
Gonna go chug some vodka now
The wonders of the Information Age. I believe that global communication has been one of the largest factors contributing to our era of peace. With a bit of luck, it'll last indefinitely.

No. Take your anti-depressants, and stop giving up. The only shit you're eating is your own. And I say that even if your parents are dead and you have all sorts of diseases and diagnosis's. Because when it comes down to it, the only way to live a good life is through the choices you yourself make, and your choice is to chug some vodka.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take the first step to realize that today, by putting the bottle down.
Or at least calling some friends and chugging it with them, because it can be fun and not sad.

Those are the only two events where nuclear bombs were used in war up to date.
The news needs to print happier stories-oh wait, that wouldn't get good ratings.
On a personal note: This year I finally got my GPA into the 'A; range, got rid of acne, went to a party, went to college, and started a long term writing project. I liked it.
Also third world countries are releasing control and opening up free trade.
Economics 101: Free Trade societies often prosper.
Soon countries will be so connected by trade, immigration, transportation, and communication, there will be no war.
Soon after, no hunger.
It's gonna happen I promise.

For me this was the worst year ever, my dog died
Don't forget Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises and ten other great films!

What did Canada and Mexico ever do to you?

Not really, the day will come.

So edgy Dice had to change the name of their platformer to Mirror's Bevel.
I got my permit, and even though my Dad lost his job, we've been doing so much more together when it comes to family.
It hasn't been that bad.
I made a lot of friends this year. Got conscripted as a paramedic, had a lot more fun that I thought. Got my old job back. I'm making a shitload of money again. I watched a lot of good movies and played a lot of good games. I did a lot more sport this year than ever before. I did a lot more stuff with friends than ever before. This was a fucking amazing year. Last year was nearly as good though.

why it will just be replaced with another evil empire. maybe one even eviler
It's been pretty good since September. before that it was a pretty crappy year
[QUOTE=yawmwen;38866744]why it will just be replaced with another evil empire. maybe one even eviler[/QUOTE]
Why, because America is the worst country ever and democracy's #1 enemy since Hitler of course!
It doesn't take a genius to realize that once America falls the world will enter a true golden age with rainbows and unicorns and all that jazz.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;38865876]I want to see Africa and the Middle East be peaceful regions in my life time.[/QUOTE]
That's about as likely as the world ending at this point really. Current borders that force complete rival religions in the regions to work together as well as poverty and other problems are difficult to solve and I doubt the world's going to fix them anytime soon without some sort of global program.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;38865687]It is indeed a good year. My boostar earnings since last year has grown exponentially.[/QUOTE]
Speaking of which, I am sad that I haven't gotten a thank-you PM for the last couple boostar's I've sent fully to you. I did for the first one, and it felt all warm and fuzzy. Now, giving people a shitty title just feels hollow and cold...
Eh...
2012 'kinda lost It's doomsday year feeling with this.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;38865774]actually the early dark ages were easier for the average peasant than the constant warring in the roman empire.
life expectancy shot up after rome fell iirc.[/QUOTE]
Didn't the population also drop massively because of the relative anarchy of post-Roman Europe? And the lack of Roman authority opened up many areas to brutal invasions be previously cowed barbarians.

Riller baby, I don't have to send PMs to tell you my love for you ;)
I'll always love you.

it was bad for a little while but the "barbarians" settled down and created kingdoms incredibly quickly.

If you arent too specific about your Americas, it's been happening in central America for about 100 years.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;38865531]idk if you can make that claim. it's hard to tell whether you're in a golden age or not. that's something we generally say in hindsight.[/QUOTE]
I'd still rather be alive now than any other time, so I guess that makes that statement correct.
[QUOTE=Memobot;38867989]I'd still rather be alive now than any other time, so I guess that makes that statement correct.[/QUOTE]
what i meant was that times could get a lot better and it might make these years look like dark ages.
all of this shit is relative. a golden age means that there was a period of suffering and instability to contrast.
it's hard to say if you had a golden age until you know it's gone.
