If you had to choose a time period in the past to spend the rest of your life in, which one would it be?

I'm perfectly happy with the present. People have more rights, I think overall we're less frightened of each other (barring morons, as always), and our standards of living are far higher than any other time in human history. Even a hundred years ago life was miserable for 99.9% of the people by most modern people's standards.

The 1980s
Yes I'd love to be one of your start-up investors.. Mr Gates is it?

I'll stay here. If hard pressed maybe the 1980's. But here's good.

Modern is good enough for me.

Ten years ago. I'd like to go back, put some money in dot.com, and then bail out just before the whole thing comes crashing down. Never have to work again in my entire life.

Lol, I second that.

Have a very nice day.

I occasionally think the 1940s would've been okay (keeping in mind, of course, that being a white guy, I wouldn't have been faced with a lot of the shit that minorities were.) But then I think about things like that, the nostalgia wears off, and I settle for drinking nineteen 40's of Mickeys. lol

I grew up during the seventies and eighties, and the present does nicely, thank you. Although Data_Link's i-dear is a dilly!

A Future 1984 style world

A hail Big Brother

Ya I'm crazy.....no wait that the US

(Okay I don't like the states politically have some good people...Dalton...Phong....ect)

See my post

Best method is being there during Gate's IPO

Along with AOL, Yahoo and Amazon and you can be fucking SET FOR LIFE

Yahoo IPOed at 8 and a quater, ended the day at twenty and December 2000 on the 25th was kicking over the 240 points....

ditto for me, I third that.

A few years into the future. Maybe about five or ten, at the most. But for the greater part, now is fine.

A real gambler -- how do you know the future won't be worse? Besides, we're all going there whether we like it or not. lol

A lot can change in even a year.

Medieval times. Back when money didn't mean shit.

Back then, when thje Plague was rampant.

And the nice thing about those days was, you really knew your king, didn't you? He was the guy who didn't have shit all over him, out in the countryside repressin' people. You really got to know your politicians personally in those days...

Money didn't mean shit, no; they mostly used pointy sticks and sharp pieces of metal to make their point.

OMFG ROFL...

Sorry, but money meant a LOT back then. Potentially even more than it does now.

When money didn't mean shit and you had to shit in a bedpan.
