this is 2009

mukki

noticed this in another thread but ...

whats the story with people who use the "this is 2009" as point a argument.

like a road is in bad condition "this road is in terribal condition, i can't believe that in 2009 (in a slighty raised pitch a volume ) that a road can be bad"



or people ringing into radio shows to make a complaint about joyriders, " its shocking that in 2009 that the guards can't put a stop to that"


thats as mad as saying that i am supprised its raining on a tuesday


it just part of the fooking date, it has nothing to do with whats going on anywere, ever. twats!

I remember the same thing at the start of the new millennium. "Come on this is the year 2000 for God's sake. Is a decent public transport system too much to ask for in the year 2000?"

Danbo!

Join a club or go time travelling

People are just pissed because sci-fi promised that we would all have flying cars and robot slaves and day trips to Mars and what not by now, but instead we have the same ****e we had 10 years ago.

And in 2009, ffs...

*looks around*

Woah! How strong was that joint?

I agree OP, that argument is just stupid. I prefer the "They can put a man on the Moon but..." myself

Aye but back then the year 2000 was a time to say those things! All those awesome inventions you seen in comics, sci-fi magazines and sci-fi shows as a kid were supposed to be here.

Was so looking forward to my hovering skateboard It's the year 2009, God damnit! Is a hovering skateboard to much to ask for?

That'll be available in 2015; well, so says Back to the Future II.

Naos

Yeah I know

I had this book and called "The future" or some crap. Anyway the only two things that came true in that were self driving cars and motorbikes with a roof, totally going to sue that author.

Go back further again. I recall people saying "God it's the nineties! Get with it!"

On a side note, 2009 in fiction...

Freejack is my fave of the lot. Made in 1992.

It's because people are afraid of mispronouncing anachronism.
I'm not sure I'd like to try using that one while having a drunken rant either.
