Hi there! I�m new to this forum and I�m sorry if the title sound stupid but I�m just really curious about everyone�s� opinion on this.

Call me pessimistic if you want but everything around me, well�in my country (Thailand), is just so depressing. You guys probably have heard right about the military coup, the Southern Separatists and the New Year�s Eve bombing? I dunno. It makes me feel so hopeless that we are already in 2007 and nothing is changing (in a good way). I only fear that it will get worse.

Anyway, that�s my opinion on this one. What do you guys think about 2007?

"17" is the most beloved number of me, so I like 2007, as it contains 7

for me i always look the year as a positive way... im always optimistic about it. if i think the other way, maybe bad thing will come to me.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Yes, your homeland is going through some rough times right now. I believe 2007 is not going to be any good for many of us from many countries.

I do believe that the end of 2008 and 2009 will be much better.

Hang in there. The situation you are in will only make you more wise and you can teach your children the right way so they do not have to endure such negetivity.

Yeah, I don't see the difference between 2007 and 2006,2005,even 1999. you spend your time everyday. but everyday we do our best to become successful. that's the very thing.

In my opinion, 2008 will be very different, because China will hold Olympic, by then we can watch Olympic games in China, and don't have to just watch TV. That's the difference.
