i think i would live 100 years ago, simpler, but evolved times


The Angel of Darkness

quite honestly, as much as I'd like to say something interesting like "the time of william the conquerer" or "I'd like to be an aristrocrat in the late 19th century" etc etc....I've gotta admit that I wouldn't go back very far. I've thought a lot about it loads and have come to the conclusion that I simply just love my home comforts too much I mean they didn't even have toothpaste or decent soap 100 years ago, never mind home-delivery pizzas! Nope, I think it would have to be the 1960s for me. Soak in a little of that free-lovin hippy psychadelic revolution. I'd go meet all my favourite bands/musicians before they got big...visit hendrix in the stix, the doors in california and nip back to england just in time to catch pink floyd's first gig in a crappy stoner club in soho. It would be kinda cool to see how my parents were doing at my current age too...

the 70s man!
i'd wanna be about 17 by mid 1970s, preferably living in america

I agree with Gromit!!
I'd also like to see whats up in the sixties and how the times were back then, oh man I'd sure like to be at Woodstock and listen to all of it, then see what the F*ck got wrong in the Seventies and Eighties and finally crap on the nineties as a 60+ year old going strong

For those who want the sixtys and first of seventys, make sure your draft card is up to date, I remember my Mom telling me they had called my birthdate when I was 9 years old. Scary

I'd like to go back to the late1970s and tell the stupid teenage me about all the balls-ups I'd make over the next two decades and how to avoid them. i'd also mention some Grand National winners and football results, and all the winning lottery numbers.

but then I'd alter the future, soI wouldn't go back in time to tell myself, so I'd make all the same mistakes again and still be poor I hate time travel.

@Fd

If you're in the US, that is very true. Other places though, not as much of a problem.

@Arcon

The 70's? Wow. You're one of the very few I know who look to that decade, it usually gets skipped over from the 60's to the 80's. Don't tell me you're into Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta and Disco Disco Disco

I'd personally like to go back to the 1920's. Things go down hill in 1929 over here in the states but the mid and early 20's were some of the best years for us. The automobile was finally out and moving, home appliances were coming out, if you put money in the stock market you made a profit. Just a good era to live in.

the 70s were cr*p, i had to suffer them. No fond memories here of flares, cravats, platform shoes, kipper ties, Sweeney haircuts and sideburns, and all the rest. I was so relieved when punk happened and mods were revived, at last that doldrum decade of cr*p style was over. God it was awful.

anyone who thinks they love the 70s, go to Germany or the Middle East, the 70s have never died in those places.

Definetly Mid to late 1800s America. The simpler times of land, money, nice guns, honest presidents, no AIDS, loads of bacterial diseases, and lots and lots of cows!

Really, simpler life, simpler person. I don't care if there's a cable connection in Wyoming. Give me an almost dry riverbed and a 5-mile hiking trail and I'm there. Throw in a nice hilltop to "fortify". Does anyone else do that, or am I the only person who builds forts out of fallen limbs?

This has been another SpamSightful post by Eh_Steve.

depending on what the future holds in store, perhaps 100 years from now or so

other than that i'm happy right here.

The other day, in study hall, i farted really loud, you know...so the guys would laugh...and i swear it was so hanus that Susie Johnson almost ralphed up her salsbury steak.
it was freakin sweet...

taw, you wouldn't tell yourself in person. you can leave hints and put things in a special place that was just for you back in those days

Taw couldn't tell himself, it would create a parodox. If you told yourself to change the future, in the future it would be changed, and then you could not tell your past self because that past did not happen

Unless you told you to go back and change it again.
I would either go to the 1920's, ive been told that my language potential would be perfect there.
Or, go right back to 1720, when the FF arrived in aussie, i could set myself up as a blacksmith/weapons manufacturer and develop SMGs alot earlier
