If you could live in another time period, which would it be?

2004, and blow all my cash and life savings on APPLE stock

Oh, I've thought of this many times now, and I've concluded... I wish I was born a rich English male in ~1660 and explored the world as a sailor. At the start of my career (16 years old), I'd want to see the dodos before they were pushed to extinction on the island of Mauritius, and before I'd retire at 80-something I'd want to see the Steller's Sea Cow in the arctic before it was hunted to extinction ~1740.

In between, I'd be visiting other lands and meeting new peoples and worlds which were not well-documented, and hopefully avoiding the major diseases of the time. I'd make sure to drink my lime juice.

Personally I would have liked to live in the area of the renaissance. Before guns. When battles where won by the sword, and logical thinking kept you alive. When actions equalled appropriate consequences. When people did something wrong, the penalty was huge (like if you stole and got caught, you would lose an arm, etc etc). When a man was judged by his craft and humble nature, not by his social power and possessions. When women were attracted to men who could prove themselves and provide for them, not men who look the best and have the most money. When family and friendships meant everything. When entertainment was an adventure, not technology. When you could bask in the moment of a strangers tale, drink a beer where and whenever you wanted and dance to cheerful music by a fire. When youre stead was by your side and the land was yours to journey. When legends were born and the wind carried your legacy.

Sounds like someone's been playing too much Fable/Skyrim/WoW.

A glimpse into any history book will tell you that up until maybe the beginning of the 19th century life for most people was nasty, brutish and short.

Booooooring

You're just jealous you didn't think of it first. Better than dreaming of blowing $2 on Apple stock!

[popcorneater]

I would live during the time of the dinosaurs. They'd never have seen a human being before so they'd be like WTF IS THIS PUNY CREATURE?

I'd then mate with them and create the most versatile hybrids ever.

[cOmAtOaSt]

I'd go back to the days when

People seemed to be content
$50 payed the rent
Freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days!

When gas was 60 cents a litre.

Sigh.

or when Hamburgers were 25 cents

I want to be Emperor Augustus in the roman empire. I would wage a war against the sosonate empire and crush them and conquer all the way to India. I would be remembered as the greatest roman emperor of all time.

[dirkpitt]

I would consider the mid to late 1800's during the Homestead acts in the U.S.

File a homestead, improve the land, and then file your deed to win. Honest, hard work that would pay off a lot quicker than the complicated world that we live in today.

That, or the 50's would be pretty sweet too.

[dragon_drift]

After world war 2, canada or us. People rebuilt and times were good.

I pay $140 a month for gas.

Maybe $20 on hamburgers.

I'll take the cheaper gas.

Dah crie.
