now and the future.
Medical science and technology are where it's at. My perspective is one of someone who was diagnosed and treated for cancer, which I would have died of any time before the 1980's. The past would be fun to visit but I wanna live now XD

you wouldn't have survived the devices to keep young guys from getting erections and masturbating in the victorian era, when they thought dudes only had a limited amount of semen, hahahazHellas said:
"How lucky we are, to live in this time, the first point in human history where we are, in fact, visiting other worlds. A still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise, a morning filled with four-hundred-billions, the rising of the milky way. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc]"

Personally I can't think of any other time period I'd enjoy more than now.
From the 40s to the 90s was the Cold War fear, 40s was the Second World War, 30s were the Depression, 20s was Probation, aught-10s were the first World War, and everything before then had super long travel times (Pre Airplanes, Pre-Inductive blast-pipe Steam Power, cars rare, sailing ships still common), non-standardized language or communication mediums, severe disease problems and unclean water, tea and beer partially exempt.
And the internet has only been around in a way that we really enjoy it since the Berlin Wall falling.

Yes, my point though was that it was an imitation of much older villages. I don't really care where that village was set in time, supposedly it's staying the same through all the time periods. I just think it looked like a nice place to live.Dags90 said:

But if I were allowed to screw with history it would have to be someone in the middle of the 12th century and I would be the pope. I would plunge all of the Christian countries and states into war with the "heathens", you know, just to see if I could actually win.
I want to live in the very same year where our medical system improved so nobody was dying from a horrible disease all at once and spreading it like wildfire. Fuck the bubonic plague to hell. No other reason why, just so maybe I could have become a doctor and made my current day self into one as well.
I'd want to be 21 years old, and fight in the second world war with the Canadian Princess Patricia's Light Infantry. I'd like to fight from the begging of WW2, all the way till almost then end, then die in a heroic charge against and enemy emplacement. Then I could avoid this fucking shitty century I currently live in.
Never!! That will violate the prime directiveIzisviAziria said:read the OP.Red Right Hand said:
Sorry. Totally dig your reasoning thoughkinggingerman said:Perhaps OP will let you be a chemist in the late 19th century, and you can discover acid yourself? Doubt it though, he doesn't seem to want any significant changes made to history.
