    Nothing terribly exiciting in the way of Movies this year


    Nothing terribly exciting in the music scene


    World events, a few miners stranded here and there (I'd still hate to think of the kind of stuff that went on when those guys were stuck underneath Chile for 2 months , what happened underground stays underground ;) )

    Still a bit suss about the New Zealand one, a bit explosion same time they got the rescue stuff in


    A Volcano going off here and there

    Politically aside from this Wikileaks thing the biggest thing seemed to be how much a sleeze the French President is


    Am I missing anything?, or was 2010 a snoozefest

    2010 was probably the biggest of the 2000s so far.

    You forgot:
    Haiti earthquakes
    Massive natural disasters in Indonesia
    BP Oil spill
    New form of life discovered
    Gaza flotilla incident
    Tallest building in the world completed in Dubai
    Record temperatures
    World Cup (first African)

    And you're Australian, so you can say first female prime minister!

    it's hardly dull.

    what you really mean is that you weren't told anything interesting. Get out and experience nigga and turn off your tv

    edit

    i just came across really hypocritical lol

    ah jeez........

    as ill informed as many people are, we're still a bunch of news junkies getting off on the tragedies of the world

    i'm guilty of it too. but its a bit fucked up isnt it?

    like we're handing out oscars for the most tragically entertaining event.

    "and the winner is...the BP oil spill. Runner up, the miners! sorry guys, your consolation prize is you were finally saved!"

    There will be a movie about the miners in theatres this time next year. Starring Nicholas Cage, Adrian Brody and Megan Fox. I will bet my collection of vintage Darkwing Duck VHS's.

    I spent the first half of it stoned, it all went downhill from there. Discovered loads of great music this year, I think it has been a good year for music. Plus I got sex this year as well, so I'd say it wasn't at all bad. People are still assholes though.

    Oil Spill. ehh, its just an oil spill, nothing visually exciting, nothing blows up

    No it was not a new form of life, just some bacteria feeding off arsenic rather than phosphorus

    Gaza Fllotilla, I have to look that up, i have no idea what that is

    Tallest buidling in Dubai, its in Dubai hough, theres a tall building, then a whole lot of sand

    World Cup - Soccer is for girls

    Australia got its first Saint too, which is pretty exciting if you are a Catholic, which I'm not


    I dont know, just not enough stuff blowing up this year

    I would be SO happy if we actually had a dull year. A year where there were no big tragedies, people got along, we didn't destroy huge chunks of the environment. This was not a dull year, but I very much want next year to be dull.

    that will most certainly will not happen. Count on more false flags and orchestration by our masters.

    I think if someeboddy noted all the major events of 2010 you would still be moaning about not much going on.
    It's your problem.

    Sounds like it won't be too difficult to fix. It's essentially a balloon. :)

    "The Metrodome roof is 10 acres of Teflon-coated fiberglass that is supported by 20 90-horsepower fans. It weighs roughly 580,000 pounds. Maki said they keep some replacement fabric in stock with Birdair, and that the MSFC has received offers of extra material from officials in Syracuse, N.Y., and Detroit."

    OH gotta love the wiki links buzz.

    don't know what to make of it,

    but as always I'm suspicious as to why the mainstream is telling us to be mad over it...

    somethings up with it and its not at all what the rhetoric says, most probable.
