If you could time travel to any time period to live life, where'd you go?

[Deja Q]

Early 1990s, same age as I am now.

Or early 1970s. Seems to be a more fun time period overall.

[liberaltrucker]

1. Richmond, VA c1860

And give Robert E Lee a couple hundred M-16's. on edit-just kidding:hide:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

2. raping and pillaging with the vikings

[Floogeldy]

3. 2230 - 2290

Lots of peace, free sex, safe drugs, health and food going on during that era on the Moon.

4. now you got me serious toad

the early 70s WERE fun a lot of fun but i wonder sometimes if they are not more fun because of nostalgia and being at a distance, were they all that while we were there? or do we exaggerate for benefit of impressing the youngsters? oh dear, i suspect the latter

70s were great and perhaps the greatest time in history of all time known to us but i been there, done that

i do not know what time i'd choose, having lived thru the best and the greatest maybe i'd just throw a dam dart?

i had experience where i was thrown back in time and i don't know what to say so i will say no more

are you metaphysical, i decided if i'm going to be odd, by god, i'm gonna work it

5. 1700's England

Great clothes and I look damn good in 'em.

Sure there was syphilis and no antibiotics, but the Enlightenment was really starting to get going.

Khash.

6. Early to mid eighties

[jobycom]

8. Ecchhhh.

I would not like to return to an era when Reagan was alive. The day I learned of his death was the freest of my life. What a filthy animal he was. I still don't hate Bush as badly.

[TK421]

10. You too, huh?

Well, I don't really care about who the president was at the time....but back then, I didn't have to worry about color-coded terror alert systems or the rest of the world hating our guts...maybe it's just me. Maybe this is all a dream...a strange dream in which I will suddenly just wake up and say "Oh fuck! This is actually going on and I'm really FUCKING STUCK IN THIS SHITTY ERA"

[jobycom]

11. The world hated us under Reagan, too.

We lived in constant fear that he would wake up from a bad nightmare and press the button to annihilate the world. The current fear that the terrorists will nuke a major US city or two still seems like a junior version of that era, to me.

7. 2009 or 2013.

[Left Is Write]

9. It's hard to choose.

My nostalgia focuses only on the good of bygone eras. It'd be hard to live with the bad.

[SeattleGirl]

12. I would come of age in the 40s

One of my favorite eras!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. I liked the style of the 1940s

It was the age of Bebop with Charlie Parker, Monk, Charlie Christian, Max Roach et al, and the music was incredible. The clothes of the 40s were great. And I liked the cars, too, although they probably drove with the finesse of trucks. I love "The Big Sleep" and I wish I could enter that movie and live in that world. I love the old two-person 1938 Plymouth Business Coupe that Bogey drove in that movie, which you can see in the background of the photo below.

13. I'd like to live near sun records in the mid fifties.

Just think of the talent you'd see on any given day. Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.

[Syrinx]

14. I'd just like to start over from sixth grade or so

Knowing what I know now, I could make my life a lot better. And I could make the world a lot better too.

[auntAgonist]

15. 1983

for many reasons, too many to name.


:)

[jeff30997]

16. Right here,right now.

To paraphrase Dickens:It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.(But I wouldn't say no to a short trip in the late 60's but not in Vietnam).

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. The '30s, to start

I have reason to believe I served in WWII. I'd like to see if that's true.

[MrScorpio]

18. Me a Jazz bassist is 1950's Paris

[Sugar Smack]

19. I am a sucker for the roaring Twenties,

flappers, Mencken, Mobsters who wore hats. I'd have loved the social anarchy.

:D

[SoCalDem]

20. I would go to Hawaii in 1938 n/t

[Heidi]

22. Menopause. (nt)
