I'm so stupid that i wouldn't get the clues anyway. besides even if i popped up to my younger self and said" hello I'm you from the future" I'd prob smash me in the mush and call the cops or the local loony bin.

unless of course i disguised myself a s a giant rabbit from the future. but then I'd be too scared AND theres still the issue of the paradox.

if i had to live in the past, although almost any point in any civilisation would be cool, esp my beloved Roman ancestors, I'd hate to live at any time when they didnt have antibiotics. Even though I'm allergic to them now mind you, can you take your knowledge back in this thread-idea? Or is it just which times in the past you admire and would feel comfortable in.

if the latter, then the Sengoku period in Japan.

It's funny how you'd like to think you'd like to live in a different age but there's a lot of crap from different ages too, polio, the black plaugue, the god awful "stall on the green light" carburetor, i'll wash when I stink like a rat attitude, the spanish inquisition, early catholisism in general, etc.

We've still got a long way to go till I would classify human civilisation as civil, but we're closer than ever!

what if you could live in the time of the dinosaurs? wouldn't that be cool!

you could have a whole civilisation based on dinosaur culture, live in caves, keep dinosaurs as pets, work in a slate quarry, all sorts of stuff. it would make a great idea for a cartoon show. i think it could be called "Magilla Gorilla" or summat like that, whadjoo fink?

I'd probably travel back to the Cold War, kill Stalin, then instigate my own rise to power as Supreme Evil Overlord Of The Universe. Either that, or I'd live with dinosaurs.

I'm making record time!
If only I had someplace to be...

@taw lol. Not sure about the name for your stoneage cartoon...if its about a family you need to give them an appropriate surname...let me think....rocks...boulders...stones...stone...flint.....flint....hmmmmm.....

I was umming an awwing about whether to time travel to the 60s or the 70s...and I decided the 60s because I want to see both decades. Besides, I think you kinda have to mature into bands like Deep Purple, Creedance Clearwater and Led Zeppelin. So I'd be a teenager in the 60s and a 20something in the 70s. Sounds good to me

oh i'd be in the 70's just for the music. The whole youth culture at that time was just awesome. Happy Days man! STAR WARS! the carefree america where growing up and going to university was about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Party Hard!

As for time paradoxs, seeign yourself wont cause ANY paradox, nor would telling yourself, in FACT you could probably get away with doing just that if you think about it because your younger self will remember where you got the wining racecourse stats from and as such will know you have to go back in time at some point to facilitate the winning. BECAUSE you remember it means that is HAS happened (or rather will happen) and as such, is unavoidable. So 10 years later or something, you just go back in time. NOT because you want to get rich, you already are rich, but because your greater understanding of time travel means you have to or your material wealth you currently enjoy will be lost.

8-900's; Big swords, lots of looting, and eating shrooms made you a cool guy.

I wouldn't go anywhere...these times are great:

- No big wars to worry about
- Running water and electricity
- TLR
- Games
- No gangs that threaten to kill you (e.g, Al Capone)
- Alot of other reasons

Although, the 30s were pretty cool in the USA. Lots of women, nice, slow cars...
