grezzzy_greer Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 They better not be f*cked up - I need some good income for a few years... Do we call them The Tens...sounds a bit wishy washy....? Call them something foreign - it usually sounds impressive and hardly anyone knows what it really means anyway...even when it's really as dull as dogshit...

LakeGeneve Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 "The Revolution" This will be the decade of the Revolution....A New World Order begins Ah not so sure about that...although I do like the Revolution angle if it empowers people and saves the ecosystems. "A New World Order" has been used for the last 2 decades. We should be able to workshop something a bit better by now....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Inasmuch as 2012 has been predicted to be so important to mankind, maybe we should consider that in the name for the next decade. December 21st 2012 has been widely touted as the date of the Apocalypse, and that has been treated by many as the end of the world. However, the meaning of the word 'apocalypse' in ancient Greek has nothing to do with the end of the world. It means 'an unveiling' or 'revelation' Not for nothing is the Apocalypse placed in the Book of Revelations. This point in time heralds a moment when mankind is due to realise his true purpose in the Universe. All major religions agree on the one final day - when all will be revealed. The word 'Armageddon' which has come to mean the end of days is likely derived from a Greek phrase meaning 'revelation at the end of an era'. Let's hope the next decade is one of great enlightenment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit off the mark with armageddon though. Its origin is Hebrew not Greek, and it means 'mountain of megiddo'. Megiddo being a location of many battles near Lake Galilee.

Stramash Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 And anyway, strictly speaking, the new decade does not start for another year. There was no 'year zero' 2 millenia ago (or to be more accurate when they changed all the calendars) therefore each decade goes from 1 to 10.

LakeGeneve Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 apparently they are to be called the "one-der" years or one-ders Your suggesting that this will be a decade of wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carz79 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Well the years from 1910 - 1919 are generally referred to as being the "war years" and as such were named as a consequence of the "great" war. Maybe English Bob is onto something........perhaps in 100 years time this time will be known as the "apocalyptic years". Ok I've thought too much today, give me a beer please.

Stramash Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Well the years from 1910 - 1919 are generally referred to as being the "war years" Really? By who? Your neighbours? Your friend Doug from the next town? Navid in the local convenience store? Given that the great war was 4 years out of the decade, and given that I have never heard the phrase 'war years' to describe that entire decade (which of course does not preclude that the above named individuals have done so), is this really the case? :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
