Were You Born in The Wrong Time/Place?

I've sometimes wished I was born in a time period where travel by horse was the norm. And I was kinda born in the wrong country; my parents were fugitives at the time and I was born as they were emigrating.
I think I was born into the perfect time and place, I love Australia, as silly as it sounds, Australian personalities and my own are perfect with each other
And theres just the right amount of technological saturation in this generation for me to enjoy myself...
Plus, when I graduate, 60% of the work force in my career are scheduled to retire, basically guaranteeing me a job
Lifes good, I tells ya

Actually, i have thought that it would be cool to be born in the age when space-travel is normal and everyone uses it. I doubt that there will be such a thing in my lifetime. But other than that i think i was born in a nice time: not a lot of wars going on, and i like the technology this age is giving us.
I should have been born in the 60s. So I could be alive and kicking for the 70's and 80's (just for the music). The law was sought of better back then too. Things are too structured/governed now. For example street signs. I saw a street sign that was a warning for a steep hill at the base of said hill. If you need a warning that there is a hill there and it is steep you shouldnt be in the drivers seat... just too many legalities.
Years 700-1000, Denmark, Norway, Finland
I just can't stand fiddly jobs and having to take shit from people i'll never meet over the phone. Back to a life where fighting is a good thing and people have a sense of honour.

I think my generation have been really luck for a few reasons;
There was Saturday morning TV all throughout the 90s, Pokemon had just started out and was fresh and exciting. After Tiz Waz, there wasn't any Saturday morning TV for a while.
Back then was still a time when I could play on the streets without getting murdered.
Sweets were cheaper, I'd go to the shops with a pound and come out with loads.
And at my school, after I finished year 11, the imposed a load of stupid new rules on the new year 11s, so it was a good year to be born.

...I born was a week early if that counts?
On the whole, not really no. Everybody thinks some period of time is better than an other. It's basically a "grass is greener" case.

I wouldn't mind being born a bit more in the future, when homosexuality will (hopefully) be more accepted. But hey, I'll take the present. It's mostly good.
EDIT: I just remembered that I'm frankly useless and not really interested in getting employed, so perhaps time periods with land-owning nobles getting money despite doing nothing would also work well for me. Of course, I'd have to be one of those land-owning nobles...

I like the time I was born. Just early enough that I got to be traumatized by glitchy Furbees, late enough that I just might live to see those damn jet packs they keep promising us.
My family picks on me sometimes, saying I should have been born in japan, though.
I have an easier time pronouncing japanese "R"s, and so far my attempts at writing kana have come out looking a little less like the scuff marks a drunken hobo leaves on the floor after wrestling an imaginary chicken than my usual handwriting.

Partially, because in terms of video games and toys, I'm perfect in the present, but my taste in movies is off 20-30 years. I can't find any good comedies from this millenium, I prefer Mel Brooks and Monty Python. But I do love living in Heard County, even if it has more schools than stores.
I think Denmark/Scandinavia suits me pretty well, But I'd like it to be the year of 1100 (viking times).
I think I'd enjoy the hard labor that filled everyday life, the fresh air, the constant occupation of simply staying alive and well , and well.. Being a viking is pretty badass eh?
It's not that i don't like the modern life: i just think it lacks natural surrounding, and it's too secure, and i have nothing to do a lot of the time.

I think I would'a done better in the Victorian times or something. :/ Sometimes technology annoys me so much, I wish I was back in the ages of candlelight and what not.
Although I probably would've died of plague by now if I had been born then xD
Either way, I wish I'd been born pre 1900's =P That'd be interesting too.

I know what you mean, it's a bad time to be Muslim; though I am not Arab (I'm a Khoja) but we all get hate. Even an Arab Christian is not safe.SteelStallion said:
OT: I feel out of place a lot so yeah I tend to wish I was in a different time and place.
As much of the social recluse that I am and the love of computer games I would love to be a spartan in ancient Greece. Grow up, kill shit, get man-loved, retire and finally gt some woman love. I could take or leave the man-love element but other wise a happy combination.
I constantly feel as though I should of been born in the future in some sort of future cityscape
I'm never really happy, although I have a pretty good life now, I hang out with my friends, i do alright at school, but I've always thought about the future I long for looking out of my apartment window at night in a dark blue tinted room and just stare at the beautiful utopia at night and for some reason lately (as in 2 years I get zero real entertainment from hanging out with people, or just staying home.
This sounds pretty ridiculous, I know but the only time I've ever felt truly at piece was when I was in Niagara falls and it was at night, and raining but I just went to the top floor of the hotel and looked on at the city across the river and i just stared there for at least an hour at the glowing city below.
Also I really have been getting sick of the pop culture and the stereotypical "right" and "wrong", and the ignorant people of this world, and I hope that at least my children (assuming we all don't die in some world ending event) grow up in some more accepting world.
Wow i typed a lot feel free to make fun of me/not read whatever it's just something that i constantly think about
