I think I would want to live in 1964 and see the civil rights movement successfully culminate into the civil rights act. Also, I might be able to get a glimpse at Elvis because he was still alive then.
-
I would have love to live in the time of King Arthur, nothing makes me as excited as to watch these movies where there was war and where a man was a man and not a coward, where family meant something and everything you did was for honour, today is just a rush to nowhere if you know what I mean. I would have made an excellent warrior, I know that, its in my blood, I was born in the wrong century LOL
-
Heian era Japan... or perhaps ... nah, just that
-
Certainly not the Dark Ages, too much stabbing/plague/torture/beheading and the like!
-
The California Gold Rush, where opportunity was plentiful and the strong survived. I could live panning for gold, fishing, and spending my newly earned money on women and whiskey when I got to town.

Fifty years in the future. How awesome will it be then and be able to be at the pinnacle of human society before it collapses in my lifetime due to resource scarcity, i.e. oil. I would never go back in time since I am a technocrat and I always look forward to the next best thing. Furthermore since time is linear, it is way easier to go to the future by means of cryogenesis as opposed to fantasy nonsense anyway.
-
Medieval times. The Renaissance.
-
Hundreds / Thousands of years time from now (assuming humanity is still around), I'd love to see where we end up : ) (Also, I have a macabre fascination with living in a post-apocalyptic society, so if that's what happens in hundreds/thousands of years time, I'm still fine living at that time {though of course I'd rather it never came to that, lol})
-
around 1775, I would love to see the rise of our country and to live in such a simplified society.
-
Perhaps the 1960s. Hippies and the Bomb and the beginning of the computer/information age. Pre-aids, pre cellphones. And I could make a fortune in the stock market and live like royalty.

feudal japan! so i could be a real ninja

I would like to live in the medieval period, however, I am not idealistic about it. I would not want to live as a peasant or even as gentry in a more crowded area. Add the stipulation to "medieval period" that I am in the lower level aristocracy (higher level aristocrats were murdered on a regular basis) or landed gentry. Furthermore, I would not wish to live in a crowded area such as London where I would be subjected to disease. I love the medieval period and would like to live there, however, I am not blindly idealistic about it.

If I was able to know what I know now, I'd want to live Dark Age China. Total Three Kindoms action. But, if I was simply born into that time, I'd want to be born in the 1940s in the U.S. so that I could be a teen in the fifties. Ahh, that would be fun. My personality is completely adverse to that kind of behavior out of people.
-
I would choose to live in the renaissance, maybe as a successful painter or something like that.
-
maby world war 1 and id like to be a soldier(and living).
-
During the roaring twenties.I love the fashion style of that era!
-
Late 1800s, Southern belle. Scarlett O'Hara without a war.
-
I'd live in the Old West, probably up in Colorado. I'd like to be a rancher that could handle a gun. One of my ancestors couldn't. He was killed in a gunfight.
-
Distant future (not near future) and hope for the best
-
I come from England and it would have to be the sixties . The music and fashion is unforgettable.
-
Definitely the little house on the prairie days.
-
I think I would have liked to be a victorian. For the dresses mainly, but because they all seemed to be so polite and kind of...clever.
-
I personally would have liked to have grown up during the late 30's, the forties, or the early fifties. The class and glamour seem to draw me to that time. Men were still gentlemen, but women could state their opinion (maybe not as loudly as today, but they still could) without being shunned. People prided themselves on poise and presentation.
-
The 1920's. And I would want to live through the 40's and 50's. (For those two, I would move to England.) I would want to live in NYC for the 20's.
-
I would love to have lived around 30 AD in Jeruselam or the vincinity to be able to have been a wittness to the ministry of the Savior I think would have been a great thing.
-
for me it would be the forties as i love all the art deco furniture and clothes.
-
the elizabethan era... smelly, yes, but i would be accepted, i believe.
-
Right here right now.
-
Summer of '69
-
The year 3000....I like surprises
-
definitely the 50s I would say 1955 yeah it was a horrible time but oh my the clothes! :D ..and the cars
-
I would like to live in the Victorian era
-
I was born in 1988, but for some reason I feel like a 70s person.
-
I agree with Shoes untied - the Victorian era. Life was simpler, slower-paced and direct. No phones, computers or boom boxes as a way if indirect communication. Only drawback - medicine wasn't that good back then. A lot of people died from what is now easily treatable illnesses.
-
1990s LOL
-
The here and now. And my current best friend. Stick with what you know. Like plumbing and modern medicine.

U dont have to go to different time differents, theres places in the world 100years behind us even some places 1000years. I was watching this show on discovery the other night about jamaica. After they said it was really tough to live there because you had to kill your own chickens grow your own veg. But whats so hard about that, a bit of hard work is good for you. I would love to go back to a time like that, a place with no money and the only worry was not having a dinner on the table. I couldnt just pick a best friend, its something that just happens to pick you.

Late 1800s, hanging with Nikola Tesla :)
