From 1700 to 2000 what time would you like to live?

[holcs50]

I gotta say i was big time into history and everytime i hear a new story about a battle or a person i try to picture myself in that era. I personally would of liked to see how the whole thing happended with the US fighting against the lobsterbacks. And of course the civil war would be amazing to see-just amazing how people were like that. I ultimately appreciate wars in history that were not over race,religion,culture....oh whoops they're all from that. But i hate how everyone just looks back and is like wow stupid, i know i have, but in actuality lot of what has happened marked who we are today, wow im a little fubared

Aside from the medical advances in this current time period, it is boring as shit.

I'd love to have lived in another time.

[iilluzioN]

it would be so boring to live at a time back then,

if anything, I would sale fine clothes in the medievil times.... and have me some nice women to mess around with all day

1870 to 1900 would be pretty cool; lots of wide open country. Build a ranch in Montana or someplace like they did in 'Lonesome Dove.' Then again, if I could go back to around 1800 maybe I could give the Cherokee enough (relatively) advanced weapons technology so they could avoid the whole 'Trail of Tears' disaster.

The colonial era (late 1600s to late 1700s) or late 1800s (like 1888) to early 1910s. No real reason why.

You're too frail for the old west

I would agree though and say the mid 1800s.

[tlongII]

I would rather live one thousand years in the future.

Now

Previous time periods were pretty fucking miserable. Its nice to romanticize shit I guess, but I'm pretty sure most of you would hate it. I know I would.

shyeah right dah. I'd be too busy droppin my 21st century knowledge to have frailty come into play

[mrsmaalox]

I think I could live happily any time from the year of the invention of the automatic washing machine forward.

Good point, plus you weren't on the endangered species list until recently, so it would have been open season on you.

The average joe fights with the bank, fast food order taker, annoying customers, who does the dishes, who takes the kids to school.

Pretty lame in comparison to fighting wars on our land. Pissed off Indians and lack of medical advancement. Plus there wasn't any A/C.

1830's. I've always loved the story of the Battle of the Alamo, and even knowing that they lose the fight, I would love to be a part of that story.

Toilet paper wasn't invented until 1880. Keep that in mind when you are choosing a "romantic" time period.

[JoshO501]

I would of loved to live in the time period when the Mob ran Vegas. what was that like 40 years ago?

[manufan10]

Then I will be the guy who invents it. I wouldn't care if it's "ahead of my time." I'll use it even if nobody else buys into it. :toast

[Bender]

I wouldn't mind being a post-WWII teenager... like in the 1950s. I like the R&R music, the hot rod cars, the girls, and the general rebellious attitude...

[lebomb]

This is a dumbass question for black folk............ why in the hell would they want to go back to slavery and segregation? 2000's FTW!!!

[balli]

I'd have liked to have been a drifter during the depression era. Maybe an expat. Either way, I'd take being born in the early 1900's.

Assuming I was BORN in whichever time period I choose and most likely wouldn't know any better, I don't see how any of the arguments AGAINST choosing a different era hold up.

Personally, similar to a lot of people, I've always liked the old west. Hell, as long as I had

A drifter during the depression? If thats your idea of fun just quit your job and live under a bridge? I mean wtf?

This thread is seriously funny.
