If you could pick a decade in which to live which would you pick?

[skyking]

Airline pilot in the 60's baby.

 

[SKORPI0]

Definitely the 80's. Was in my early 20's, maybe I could fix some mistakes I did during that decade.

 

[Painman]

Right where I am, thanks. America, 2010s.

 

[daw123]

2200 in America. It would be interesting to see how much society and technology has advanced in 200 years.

Edit: Re-read the OP; it says recorded history. In that case, I would choose the 1960s in England.

 

[Rubycon]

Do we get to live then with our current knowledge?

If so early '70's.

 

[surfsatwerk]

If so early '70's.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

She would concur us all and rule as a GOD!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Wait, so I would come back to the present day but I'd be 10 years older? Fuck that...

 

[Slew Foot]

Do we get to live then with our current knowledge?

If so early '70's.

I was thinking the same thing. Go back in time and dump all my money into Microsoft and Apple stock or something. Come back to the present and be rich!

 

[Kev]

This one. Everything is so easy

 

[FelixDeCat]

Isreal 0 A.D., so I could meet Jesus in person and also see the apostles.

 

[TecHNooB]

3150

If she's going to be that agreeable, that's fine by me! ^_^

I think I'd be happiest in the '90s. It's hard to live without the Internet. Maybe I could set up emails to be sent to myself later, too. Though in the '70s, maybe I could help RMS create more patent-free algorithms before they were otherwise invented! :sneaky:

 

[BoomerD]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I for one worship at the feet of our Rubycon goddess.

The 60's and 70's were fun times overall, but I think I'd like to go back to an earlier time...say the 1860's-1880's and live, either a cowboy/gunfighter life, or a mountain man trapper. (probably have to go back to the 1830's for that one.) shack up with hot Indian (feather, not dot) wimmenz.

 

[amdhunter]

Early 80's era.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

I would relive 2000-2009 so I can cash in 2010.

:O)

 

[ShawnD1]

I'd pick right now. I was bored a lot as a kid because there was no internet. I remember watching infomercials and soap operas on sick days because there was literally nothing else to do. I still remember all the reasons you should buy this amazing ronco food dehydrator.

My parents' description of their childhoods is even worse. No internet, and there were only 3 TV channels because nobody had cable or satellite TV. My dad lived on a farm so he had only 1 TV channel and his friends lived ridiculously far away. Imagine being bored for every minute that you're not working. It's not a mystery why every farmer I've ever met is an alcoholic.

 

[Genx87]

1930's Germany. Would be absolutley fascinating watching the rise of the Nazi regime.

 

[tokie]

1990's somewhere in the Midwest, like Wisconsin.

 

[SunSamurai]

Everyone saying the 80s is in for a surprise. What a piece of shit decade. It even spilled over to a few years into the 90s it was so much suck.

either 1943-1953 or 100 years from now.

 

[dwell]

1977 - 1987 New York City

 

[Locut0s]

Not in terms of technical knowledge no sorry In terms of life experience yes.

I'm addicted to the Internet too. But I could easily live in another decade that was interesting in other ways. There are these things called books, movies, other people, society, history, that I hear are interesting too

 

[Rubycon]

Not in terms of technical knowledge no sorry In terms of life experience yes.

Experience is the best teacher so in that regard it's pretty much the same.

 

[Farang]

Living in a previous decade would be like living in a shitty thriftstore. Everything material would suck, and there's no reason to think people would be any better. I'd pick the 2010s, now, because I've a good feeling about this decade.

 

[MAKENITO]

Not sure, but I hated Liver as a kid and I was a kid in the '70's, so I would not want Liver in the '70's. I could stand and actually enjoy Liver in the '90's, so I pick the '90's.

Fuck

Hahahahahahaahaha..

90's good times in the 90s

2000-2010 sucked balls

And those were the good times.

Kewl - I just forgot the rules. Damet. I would have loved to be an adult during the 90's - love 90s music. Oh, I would live in on a Polynesian Island
