I would like to goto the age of WW1 because frankly I've always wondered what society was really like back then.
Medieval times would be my favourite, I find them to be intresting. I wouldn't take a one way time machine there from a earlier thread. -,-
Yeah anyone who wants to live in the past thats fine, have fun with smallpox, dysentary, dictators, and public decapitations. I'll keep to today thank you very much.
People don't realize how great this day and age is compared to the past.

The Renaissance.
"Good day, Michelangelo! What a splendid morn! What shall we be up to to-day?"
"Painting?!"
"Oh Michelangelo! You know me too well!"
Followed by much laughter, tomfoolery, illegitimate births, religious prosecu-
Oh... Awww... Maybe some time with more civil rights instead... :[

Yeah...today have fun of dying with swine flu(Next year is turtle flu!), all the crap that AIDS brings, those strange medical cases that only Doctor House can fix, do nothing politicians and 500 channels on the Tv and nothing to watchgrimsprice said:
I'll go to the future, because in the Future all that has been replaced with other diseases, and do nothing politicians have become do nothing Dictators. But at least every doctor is doctor House.
be a viking. look at it like this
you get up
you get drunk
you eat and joke around with your mates
you then go on a "road trip" to some quaint european villa
you fuck shit up and continue getting drunk
you steal rape and pillage until you hope in the boats and go home to sleep it off
rinse and repeat

You have a life expectancy of about forty (if you're lucky), get beaten by the Franks (which is just sad, really), and somehow end up being idolized by people who you wouldn't look in the eye if they'd been your contemporaries. It's like the samurai being idolized by pathetic otaku in Japan.lucksack said:
Also, the whole "you get to fuck shit up" only really applies to those of the physical and social status to become part of the military. Life sucked for basically everyone else (even by their standards).
I can do nothing but agree with you. Kudos, and nice Hobbes reference.thiosk said:
On the more general note: why does everyone assume "dude, I'll go back in time and be a noble and stuff?" That's not how it would work. The vast majority of people were peasants, and only a small number were royalty. It's not like knowledge would help, many scientists were destitute. It was only during the industrial revolution that the world became a bit egalitarian, and the fortunes of the serfs began to rise.
Roman Times are stable times, none of that getting shot business, or getting arrowed. Also, Rome is cooooool.
