Go look at this "90s was full of hope" crap that the rest of this thread is full of.

There were the Troubles in Ireland/Britain, there was Osama Bin Laden (1993 Bombing, 1998 Embassy Bombings). The was far-right nationalism. There was Columbine. There was Rodney King race riots. There was Desert Storm 1.0. There was Ruby Ridge and Waco. Etc. etc.

I dare say that today is possibly more peaceful than back then. We just are more informed about various disasters today than we used to be. All this "Era of Peace" crap the rest of this thread is talking about is pissing me off. It wasn't like that in the 90s at all.

I'm bringing up the Troubles because 90s-era Troubles got pretty bad, up to the Good Friday Agreement in the very late 90s. The world was always on fire, and any 90s kid talking about "The Peaceful 90s" has extremely selective memory.
