I don't know if I would have the guts to live in any historical era (too risky!) but I have always been curious about ancient Rome. So many of the things we have now (roads, architecture and sewers to name a few) were first used in that time period so it would be interesting to see them for the first time.
-
Any era that it was considered honorable and just, to behead trolls or people that give bad rates out of spite. Sorry, but it's finally gotten to me :)
-
I'd go to last week. With this week's race results memorized, of course. And $2 for my first-ever parimutual wager on the horses.

I don't want to live anytime but now. I can't, for a moment, imagine living in a time before things that we take for granted today exist, such as antibiotics, anesthesia, refrigeration for food, central heat and air conditioning, the ability to vacation anywhere in the world, the sum of human knowledge at one's fingertips whilst sitting in one's bathrobe whilst sipping a cup of tea, etc., etc. Sometimes I wish I were born in the future because I'd like to know "what's next!" But with technology making it increasingly easier for religious fanatics to murder people by the thousands (and quite possibly by the tens of thousands), I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be born too far in the future either.

Its a tough one because its easy to get romantic about it- I love the idea of living in 17th century England and having passionate affairs with dangerous highwaymen. But then again when you think about it realistically, widespread disease, lack of rights for women, lack of reliable contraception and primitive sanitation and dental hygiene make it seem like less of a good idea. So I'll stick with living now thanks- but if any dangerous highwaymen searching for a passionate affair with an English Lady should happen to cross my path...

The 60's. I was made for the sixties, I really was. Brit rock woo!
-
Romantically I would maybe enjoy the Rennaisance era in Italy, or the Golden Age of Greece, but realistically I reckon that somewhere in the past 27 years is where I would be most comfortable. The added bonus is knowing which companies to invest in (say Microsoft) and what inventions to plunder (blutack, tippex,CDs). Is that too cynical?
-
The '70s. No internet, but aside from that I'd fit in just perfect. I haven't had a haircut for three years, and I like Neil Young.
-
The future.
-
If you have seen the movie "Chicago". I would LOVE to live in that era. I would be a gangsta, haha.
-
The turn of the last century. The world was about break open with fabulous new discoveries at blinding speed. Anything imagined seemed possible. I love that feeling of being on the verge of a new discovery.
-
Now is perfect earlier there was much less opportunity to travel later there will be nothing to see ...
-
Rome in the time of the Reign of Augustus after the end of the civil war.
-
The fabulous 1960s! Preferably in one of the revolutionairy centers, London, New York, one of the places where the real action was. I like to think that I was tailor made for the 60s.
-
I dont really know for sure probably the time era when you could ride a horse all over gods creation and not have to worry about paying 40 dollars to put gas in your car.
-
Sorry, hit the button twice by accident.
-
I would have to agree with Venus, I would live in the old west. Probably somewhere in the Rockies of Colorado, with abundant wildlife, fishing, and God's beautiful landscape. I still think it would be fantastic to ride horses for transportation, and sleep where ever you stop that day. Or, have a little spread and a family, with your own livestock and garden. Oops, you almost got me going, Aussie! LoL!
-
I would like to have lived my mothers life in the 60s, before she became establishment Or the future as a second choice
-
I'd like to have been around at the beginning of the earth. To see what really happened and how. Also, I'd have loved to live during the 1800's and wear big dresses and be feminine and make food from scratch-and be around people with manners lol ;). My third choice is to have been a teenager in the 50's-there was an innocense about that time, even if it was just a facade. I probably wasn't supposed to have three ideas-but that's how my mind wanders. :)
-
Whatever time they had all those massive orgies in Greece/Rome
-
The Edo Era of Japan. Why? - Three Words - Bushido, Samurai, and Geisha
-
I would like to life 1000 years into the future for it would be new and unknown..the past and present are known and familiar,the future is a frontier and foreign.
-
The Victorian Era. I keep reading these vampire stories written back then, and it seems a nice era to live in-minus vampires anyway. Maybe it really wasn't that fun though, but if I absolutely had to I would chose this.
-
Well going by old cop shows and John Travolta, I would say the 70's looked pretty fun. Big steel car/boats, Disco, glitter from head to toe and polyester pant suits. How could you go wrong ?? :o) +5
-
Hmmmm. I'm on the fence with this one. I would like to OBSERVE the days of slavery, but definitely do not want to be apart of it. I would love to have lived int he 1970s because that era seemed so fun and carefree. People who are young during that time always have positive nostalgia.
-
The present will prove to be the most exciting era in history. This is the era of world revolution, when change is the only constant. I just wish I were a decade or two younger, but I lived through the anti-Vietnam war era. Marvelous.
