yes but only go back 4 years and re try high school, i met so manky amazing people at the end of senior year i wish i could go back to the start and meat them earlier and get to know them better.
Well if I can't remember the mistakes I made, then how the heck am I supposed to know how to avoid them? That completely defeats the point. But if I could remember...nah. Yeah, I've done stupid things and have made major mistakes, but I'm pretty content at the moment and I'm actually doing a pretty good job patching up the one massive life-altering mistake I made, or at least as much as I am able to.
Besides, I'm addicted to Knights of the Old Republic right now and I don't want to wait thirteen years to play it again.

Well I probably wouldn't since despite being lazy about certain things I still wouldn't go back and change anything because my life isn't bad enough to need fixing.
But if you did reset and had no memory of the past I'm not sure it would turn out the same. I say this because I don't believe ANYTHING is predetermined; I don't believe in destiny or any of that. Many fish have very short memory; after it swims around it's fishbowl for a bit, it will forget that it swam around so it will start fresh basically. However, the fish may not swim around at exactly the same pace or in the same way or in the same direction; little things may change, and the little things make all the difference.
So i personally think that if you started life all over again with no recollection, things will still be different and you will never know it. I don't think your life will end up the same way as the one you have now if it were to be reset. Nothing is set in stone (that's what i believe anyway, my opinion on the matter). What do you guys think?

I enjoy what I do and I get an average of $220,000 a month to do it.
Why on earth would I want to reset anything?
Why on earth would I want to reset anything?
Absolutely. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, and more yes. Actually, no. If I could change anything in my life, it would be that my parents never got together so I'd never be born.
I've never been a healthy kid, and my family stops at nothing to let me know that taking care of a disabled person is a drain on time, money, resources and emotional involvement, so in order to keep my family from being burdened, I'd like to erase myself. Too bad I have no time machine and this is just an intellectual concept.
Edit: But besides that, a few things I'd change:
1. Go to the police about certain things when I was a kid instead of thinking it was how all adults are
2. Make sure I got to my friend Mike's funeral
3. Make sure I kept contact with my friend Stephen after he moves, so when he gets murdered, I have the info I need to go to his funeral
4. Make sure that the last time I saw Stephen, no matter how tired I was from a 16 hour shift, make time to talk to him one last time
5. Not kick my dog that one time that I still regret
6. Go to the police and hope that my friend Normand doesn't die because his situation is known
7. When my parents got divorced, side with my dad regardless of my mom's brainwashing
8. Never go to college
9. Never go to washington (the state)
10. Never go to any of the things that made me into an imaginative person
11. Become a drug addict
12. Instead of saving myself for marriage, be with every girl who offered

Only if I could retain my memory. Sure it'd be odd for the first decade but then after that it would be all kinds of awesome...Going to school and knowing most of the stuff without really trying? Win. Getting to get a good grip of the stuff I didn't get first time round? Win. Fixing mistakes I made? Win.
I would even go as far as to say if I got only one wish that would be it. If I couldn't remember though then hell no. I am not going through all that shit again...not a chance in hell.

Pardon my language but fuck no. I may not be the best person around but because I made mistakes here and there I became friends with my two best friends in the whole world. There's no fucking way I'd ever reset my life.
Sorry for the language.

Maybe try again with a question that has some bite to it. If that many people recognize the pointlessness of the question then maybe they're right.
As is, what would be the point? It would turn out exactly the same.

I would, but only if I had the option of coming back to where I am now if I didn't like where I ended up. I know, its cheating, but some of what I have now is good, but there is quite a bit I'd like to change.
First time around I said No. Still a no, but I had to think about it. Next time I might say yes.
No, because then I wouldn't be me. All of my past experiences, whether good or bad, define who I am and I would never want to change that.
