1939-45 And then I could joined my uncle in the RAF whom I never met, as he was killed in The Dam Busters raid in may 1943.

It'd be pretty cool to be a teenager in the US or England in the late 60s...

you better hope it would be England because if it were the US you'd be immediately shipped off to Vietnam. Where you'd be treated to a not-so-luxurious Far-East Asian Escape.

For me I'd want to be born in the year 1890, that way if I were really healthy I could live through the entire 1900s and have enough cognitive thought to remember it all. I can only imagine how strange and bizarre it must've been for someone to live through the the 20th century and witness the massive changes that took place.

I may be considered boring for saying this, but the past is waaay too hyped in my eyes. If I was forced to live in the past, then I'd settle for something post enlightenment. The closer to modern times, the better. There are some aspects that are appealing enough, sure, but being realistic makes you realize how [censored] some (most) things really were.

personally i would love to spend some time with the vikings and the ancient greeks (romans are just copy cats who stole their ideas from greece).


I.... never mind, I'll leave it.

I'm not some idiot who thinks back then it was all fun and games, I wasn't saying that those times were great. Obviously life back then could also be nasty, especially without proper sanitation, drainage, all those sorts of things. I would just much rather deal with the chance of some crazy Viking, should I have chosen to be born in Europe, than face things such as nuclear warfare, etc etc. Today's society is bad for paranoids. You get fed by the media all these potential dangers and possibilities, back then, you didn't know a plague was going to hit. ou didn't know if vikings would come pilliage your town. Sure, today you get to prepare for it and run, but then, what if it didn't happen? You spend your life paranoid.


So they've beta you then?

I wouldn't really want to live in any other time. I mean, it would defiantly be fun to go back and watch a gladiatorial match or witness the pormocracy of the Papal Office at its height just so I can laugh at them today, but other then that we have it pretty good here (north america that is) with no war, poverty (for the most part), education, health care and so on and so forth.

I'm pretty sure every time period is not as great as we remember it, so I'd choose to go back 20 years and invest in Apple.

I wouldn't. This is the easiest time in history, and it's still too difficult.

The 2100's. Just to see where we would be in a centuries time.

In the past though, I would like to go to like 5000 B.C. to spread my knowledge and be revered as a god amongst men. Then I would wanna go home a day later to check my facebook. :P

Medieval, because in those days, you could make a living as a wandering minstrel, or a craftsman, It was a lot easier to make cash than it is today


*Scoffs at you arrogantly while putting his booted foot on the bent back of a peasent*

forsooth my fellow knave, methinks you should re-examine ye-old texts, for the coin of an ungodly man not blessed with either the title of Lord or Duke earned but a pathetic pittance barely sustainable.

Lo many a peasent died on a regular basis, and even ye comical minstrels were forced to pay golden homage to the Lord of whatever realm he patronized.

Preadventure were you one of these Lords or Dukes then the image you conjure for yourself may be closer to your desired reality.

in fact, to all those blind, bedeviled, souls who dream of riches at a time when there were none for commoners such as yourselves, mayhap it be a wiser decision to "travel" to a more prosperous time.

I think I'd like to be just 5 years older, but that would make me the same age as my brother... then we'd be twins. I don't think I'd like to be twins...

I would not want to live past, I want to see the future!


Such times as Wild West, 1940's Gangsters and such are most of the time twisted by movies and such.

I want to live in a Pride and Prejudice-type English country setting in the beginning of the 1800s. And marry Mr. Darcy and live at Pemberley. :whistling: That would be just fantastic.

But yeah, on a more serious note... The early 1800s would be great. :happy: But only if I get to be from a wealthy family, or marry into some serious cash.

I'm not really sure of any time period I'd choose to live in. While there are lots of beautiful things about the past culture such as clothing, old buildings, and mythology, there's also a lot of bad things like descrimination, starving or dying of food poisoning, and the fact that the world was ruled by wealthy inbreds who could do whatever they wanted to the poor like sadistically torturing and killing people for fun.

Then again it's not like our current society is all great. We've got pollution, nuclear weapons, and our planet is closer then ever to self-destruction. :unsure:
