[b]14. That the past decade has provided overwhelming confirmation of the near universal preference,
in the arena of all time favorite indoor and outdoor sports, for complaining... and that this sad truth
echoes itself daily, face to face and in cyberspace, in nursery behavior aimed at putting others down.

he talks about nursery behaviour and 'putting people down', but hypocritically does the same.
pure victim mentality. time to grow up, Grampy - get yourself some of that maturity you like to bray on about.

Yes, exactly, let's count to ten.
Ask any little kid to count to ten.
Does he start at 0 and stop at 9?
No, he starts at 1 and counts to ten.
Yes, please, explain it "simpler" so you get it.
Yes, it's clear that you're a moron. Thanks for playing.
So, you start counting your years of life at your 1st birthday, and then say I am "one - 1?"
No, you began with that "delivery" - er, coming into the world separate from mom's belly. That would be some point "Zero" is your 1st year, with each moment added on toward your 1st birthday, at which point your start your 2nd year.

Originally posted by divegeesterOh my, oh my. It's a shame for you that we don't name decades ordinally (like centuries) but as the 90s, 80s or 00s. This is the first year of the 2010s, but it isn't the first year of the 202nd decade.
This is not a matter of birthdays, it's a matter of dates; your lack of discernment of this simple principle herds you with the rest of the dolts who feel that the calendar is punctuated by parties and shags.
Simple.

Simple.

Simple.
Jan 1st year 1 through to Dec 31st year 10 was the first ever decade, and so on and so forth.
Names are irrelevant.

Since we don't call this decade the 202nd decade, we don't need to conform to whether there is a year zero or not (which you're right in pointing out that there wasn't).

[b]17. That Hand of Hecate's gut sense was right on the money for once.
It's been a disastrous decade, in ways we haven't discovered until yet.
