: The year 1 is the FIRST year after the birth of Christ. The year 1 BC is the FIRST year before the birth of Christ. Just the same as the year between your birth and your first birthday is the FIRST year you were alive. It's amazingly simple. So simple only the massively retarded wouldn't be able understand it.
and that year between your birth and your first birthday, how old are you? one? um, nope. you're ZERO until your first birthday. same thing with the Millennium, moron.
also, for anyone else who argues in your favor, keep in mind the entire debate started from the ASSUMPTION that a historian made about the calendar. Anyone with a brain (or a major in math or history) can tell you that mathemeticians were responsible for the calendar and everyt mathmetician knows that the integers are 0 - 9, NOT 1 - 10, so shut up about it jack ass.
Sheesh. Fucking psuedo-intellectuals thinking they're the shit and stuff.
