When would you live?

[kokopup]

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.

[Catherinedana]

Either pre-Celtic times in what is now Ireland (along the shores of Lough Gur, perhaps? Or in the hills of Wicklow) or as a flapper in the 1920s!!

The very beginning of earth & watching it being formed into mountains, seas, rivers, forests, etc. I bet it was a sight to see.

But that didn't happen in a person's lifetime - it took millions+ years. Even Methuselah wouldn't have lived long enough to see that.

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.

I said the same thing to my father once, about going back to the eighties. He said,

"Going back? They've barely gone!"

He was never that impressed when I studied the Falklands War in history either.

I am very content to have been born when I was & into the family
that I have, but I would love to go back in time to visit different periods. A trip
back to see the pyramids being built, or the first flight of an airplane, or
maybe, join a wagon train across the West for a few days. No long stays
anywhere in the past, I like it here.
