Though, I wasn't born, I'd like to explore the "1980's" and the "1960's"!

1920's and 30's. Harlem Renaissance.

the 80's were kinda cool,all a blig blur to me, the 70's were fun i can tell you that right off the bat, it was one of the best times in my life.

IAintTheOne said:

But what age would you wanna be living through the 70s?

Id go back to the Medieval times where I can shag busty wenches, drink mead and eat chicken legs whose bones I can discard on the floor once Id finished. No that I dont do those things today of cause but different environment and all that...

the same age, because it was a time when i didnt have a care in the world and all i wanted to do was live and play.

IAintTheOne said:

Same age as now, or same age as you lived the 70s? Sorry 'bout the questions steve?

JDInteractive said:

Sounds great, so long as I was a wench and we stole all the riches from the lords and ladies and lived a happy rich and very fruitful life afterwards.

REDFEATHERS said:

same age as then, oh no need to be sorry i miss the 70's it was a great period i had loads of fun, some things id do different but i wouldnt change anything else

I'd like to go back to Native America before settlers came and nearly extinguished all of them.

I would like to learn from them about the land, nature, and the Great Spirit. I'd like to run with wolves, ride horses, hunt and fish with them (& would also like to sip some potions and have powerful dreams )

I'd probably want an orgy too.

I'm actually watching some Native Amercian videos on YouTube right now because I got to speak to a tribal member from Oklahoma last week for something I'm writing.


He was really bitter about the government and its treatment of American Indians.

Anyway, all weekend I've been intrigued by thoughts of Native American culture and what it could have been like to have indigenous people living among us in present day, had some type of harmony been reached.

Makes me sad. I miss them!



I'd like to walk down the street now and have them, in contemporary incarnation, be just a regular part of the neighborhood.

Watching Apocalypto last night did not help my longing.

oops. (sorry.

that's a tuff one but I think the 70's would be cool

i'd like to go back and show the egyptians how they could have made the pyramids a little bit better by adding landscaping and stairways

I'm not European, nor an American Caucasian so I think I'll stick with with the current era. Also, there's Air Conditioning now.

JDInteractive said:

anybody else have a Medieval Times restaurant in their area? $50 to eat grub with your hands and watch a jousting contest ....no thank you.

60's and 70's. I'd go to New York and be one of Warhol's superstars, or at least hang around the factory a bit and I'd dance and do drugs and fall out just before I OD and rehab somewhere nice and green and pretty and then I'd write a book and make cheesy art films with some german or french millionaire.

OMG how..how..how...60's of you

I won't like any period that does have the internet.
I would go back to the early 1980's and buy all the Microsoft and pre-bail-out Chrylser stock I could get.

Fury said:

there's a restaurant in Dallas like that but I can't remember the name of it.

IAintTheOne said:

But I wouldn't be no hippy! I'd be a hard-edged speed freak in New York, I tell you!

CarrieMpls said:

ahhh that was me in high school and i do mean "High" school

If it was me, I would have left that damned fruit alone.

Thank gawd that's a myth and we can stop blaming women for the shit men fucked up.

Why does the angel have clothes??
Why do many Christian think the natural is unnatural?

Woodstock, August 15-18, 1969. If only to see if Ted Nugent really was as squeeky clean as he states.

As a person who believes in reincarnation, this is something I think of, if not daily then very often. I don't belong in this era, not at all. Sometimes my longing gets almost too much to bear, that's how disconnected I feel from this world. I don't belive in regression through hypnosis or some shit like that, mainly cos I think that if I did, I would promptly kill myself afterwards cos I can't go back.
I'll take it historically from early to late:

Medieval - anywhere between 12th to 14th century, England. I don't expect any of y'all to know the difference between those centuries even if it hit you on the head though.

Renaissance - that would be 15th century if you were in Italy, 16th in the rest of Europe.

18th century - France, unfortunately I was prolly an aristocrat early, early enough not to be beheaded in 1789 that is cos I think I might have contributed gladly to aforementioned beheadings later

Victorian age - again, England.

Native American - the world is cruel so first I was one and then I got to be white and see what "I" had done.

That's really how far it goes, anything later than that I don't feel any connection with.
