When would you live?

[Medusa]

If it wasn't for the fact that women had virtually no rights, I'd live during Tudor times. As Marigold said, the time of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII is fascinating to me, Anne Boleyn being my favorite historical character. Either then or during Victorian times but women didn't have it much better then either. I just love Victoriana, the clothing, the furnishings, etc. The Victorians had such a love of beauty; they were so lavish w/their decor. Perhaps I would be a single woman then. It was after a woman got married that she ended up losing her rights. Her fortune went to her husband, even her children were lost to her should she divorce.

I, for the first time, have absolutely no response. I just don't know what to say. It's something to ponder, though.

WOW!!! That's a first! Just joking Donna.............

I love my life here and now, and wouldn't want to go back in time, or forward to the future. There's good and bad in every era, and for the most part, I'm happy living in this one.

How about 60 years ago ???
I could be Tarzan, you could be Jane, and Mel Gibson could be the chimp.

LOL Wom!!!

I was born and grew up during one of the best times for the family. I'm not to fond of where we have arrived today. I've often wondered where I would be today if only I had ............. ? After much reflection, I wouldn't try to change anything, because I'm sure I would make the wrong choice and screw things up more than they are.

The best thing i can do is except life as it is and try to grow old(ER) gracefully. Looking back over my life I have had a full productive life and can't imagine things being better at any other time in history or in the future.

Me? I'd pick the the 1950's! They had the coolest music, I could FINALLY afford to buy a '57 Chevy, (well maybe not if the rates were adjusted!)' all of the cool cars, all of the neat '50s tv shows, and life generally relaxed. I'd like it there!

You said it much more eloquently than I did........

When would I live? Preferably born around 1765 in either Boston, MA or Phila. PA.

Old enough to see and understand the Revolution, and in the thick of the industrial revolution in the early 1800s.

I would like to see the future, 100 years - 300 years into the future, but I don't know about living there. With all the threats facing the planet, who know if I'd actually be "living" anyway. But I do like this era, this one is fine with me. Like everyone else said there's good and bad in every page of history, this one is by no means perfect but I feel lucky to be living now anyway.

[carole]

I am happy with being born in the late 50's,however sometimes i think i should have been born in my parents era,i am a bit old fashioned in some ways.,but generally i am happy with the era i was born in.

What makes me laugh is my daughter and her boyfriend think because i used to wear hippie type clothing,long dresses, batik skirts, ugg boots, i was a hippie, but i was not,they give me a hard time in fun about it, and that i must have been smoked a lot of dope in my day, which i never did,they think everyone did, i would say just as many do today as in that era. lol

I think there's several points in history I'd like to visit; maybe living in them would be a little too much!

I've always been captivated by Ancient Egypt so would be happy to see any point in that period. Got to agree with Puck with regards to Cicero, seeing him deliver In Catilinam after studying it for so long would be amazing!

My secondary school was founded over 500 years ago and so I'd love to go back to its early days and see if any quirky aspect has been carried through its history.

Then I'd like to dwell in the 80s for a while, and get the chance to see Queen, Michael Jackson, and Live Aid on stage.

OMG. Just reading this sentence gave me a few more gray hairs. Having someone think of the 80's as going back in time, even though it is technically, makes me feel like Methuselah.
