I don't see anything wrong with that phrase.

  • 12.19.2012 5:25 PM PDT

People think every year is different and anything before is outdated and lame

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Because we're living in the depicted future that so many thought of to be in the 20th century.

Its the year that the world goes to -blam!-.

well not really; you can't evolve forever. there must be a point where evolution stops because there's nothing left to adapt to, so then that would be the pinnacle since you've adapted to everything that you need to and can't / won't evolve more.

I always thought people saying that was the same as "Come on, we're not living in the dark ages anymore" or something similar.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

It's a phrase referring to whatever time the speaker finds him/herself in. It's not relegated to just 2012.

but what does the date matter?

people just say that as if it's obvious we're superior to when we were in the dark ages but why is that the case simply because we're a few hundred years forward in time?

I guess it's because there's been so much advancement, in all aspects of life, since then. Coupled with the fact that the Dark Ages are erroneously believed to be some sort of hellish time when nothing good happened.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

what's so special about the year it is currently that we have to be the pinnacle of human evolution, the most moral people ever?

why can't we be that next year intead?

Because next year hasn't happened yet. If we weren't currently at our best ever, things would be a bit depressing. Luckily, we are. Well, not luckily really. It's all down to human endeavour making the world a better place.

Yeah, let's ignore longer life expectancy, lower poverty, widespread immunity to diseases, richer countries, better rights and happier people.

There is something in what you say, but: The continuation of our continuous species-wide state of war, widespread poverty, widespread environmental destruction, widespread human rights violations. All in the name of a dollar. I suppose it depends on how you define success.
