After receiving numerous complaints that the 1970s sucked and were not worthy of a vanity thread, here at the Pissant/CPOWife Research Center we've decided to select a decade that had more worthwhile activities to ponder. Though many positive events developed during the 1980s, there were plenty of stink-bombs as well. To further our research, we encourage everyone to participate in this scientific survey. 
 
 Without further ado, the Best and Worst of the 1980s:

    The 80's were the best years ever in the history of mankind! 
 
(However "the 80's" were my 20's, so I think that had a lot to do with it.)

    Margaret Thatcher was way better than Larry Bird... at least IMHO.

    U2 actually wasn't that bad in the early 80s but they did go downhill pretty quick. Same with REM who peaked in '87 or so.

    I darn near tear up with pride knowing that our species (with God's help) is capable of producing such people!!

    The U2 of the early 80s was pretty cool. And don't be dissing penny loafers either (unless there were actual pennies, or unless they were worn with white socks). 
 Here's a worst of the 80s you could have used instead:

     Margaret Thatcher was way better than Larry Bird... at least IMHO. Are you kidding?! She couldn't hit a free throw if her life depended on it! She's worse than Shaq from the line!
