Now that it's nearly over, what do you call the first decade of the 21st century

[jokerman]

The 00s.

Does anyone else see a pattern?

We go through a period of War and/or tenseness (10's, 40's, 80's)

Then a period of peace/prosperity (20's, 50's, 90's)

Then a period of hell/corruption/war (30's, 60's, 00's)

And then normal/filler decades (70's, possibly 10's or 20's?)

The 70s were probably more tense than the "morning in America" 80s, 1910s "WWI" I would hardly call a "filler decade."  The 20s and 50s are peaceful only for a certain segment of the population.  And to compare the 60s to the 00s is laughable.  These kind of cyclical decade models are always absurd, and always break down.

I meant 2010's or 2020's as filler decades. Anyway, your right, they are on different scales, just for comparison

[Frodo]

The Two-Thousands.  This coming decade I call the Twenty-Tens. 

[Pheurton Skeurto]

The 2000s.

[minionofmidas]

The early 21st century.

[Del Tachi]

I've always called it the "twenty hundrends", kinda like how 1901-1910 were the "nineteen hundrends"...just saying...

[courts]

Zeroes.
