I know there is bad things that happen every decade but I don't remember one where there were so many that had drastic changes on our lives. Here are a few of the items they listed.

Think the 80's and 90's were pretty awful. I do like how most the examples are ones that occured in the states though, it's not liek Darfur, Sudan or Zimbabwe is listed.

And what examples do you have of the 80's and 90's being so awful. You weren't even alive during those.

Yes, I was born in 2001.

I dunno, maybe Bosnian/Kosovo war, Iraq v.01, tons of flooding, AIDS epidemic reaching epic proportions in the 80's, ABBA.

It would be a more balanced article if they dissected other decades just as meticulously. The 00's have been pretty bad, but like I said the 80s and 90s were horrendous too. I can't see the 10's or whatever we're gonna call them being much better though.

It's not that the 00s were worse it's just that the harsher drug laws made more people sober enough to notice what was going on.
