well i'd want to know quite a few more things before i did that reset, mostly personal stuff, if i could somehow make sure i met my current girlfriend about 10 years ago i'd be very content.
(i guess that's kind of lame maybe)
also if i knew i could just redo my life i would start experimenting with stuff like mad now.
just to increase my overall experience level, also there would be no consequenses for all of my current actions.

No, I wouldn't. I've already been through, in my opinion, far too much pain and suffering to cope with, and I'd hate to have to go through it all again.
I sure would and would do a couple of things over.
Id seek out all my friends from my past life and be friends with them, get home schooled.
Id stop wasting time on dead end jobs and really hit college hard.
Id steal the idea of Facebook before it was invented and live off that.

No.
It would undermine my current existence right now. I wouldn't have nearly the same amount of appreciation for life and the lives of those around me if I didn't make a certain number of mistakes, had a certain amount of accidents, got into a certain amount of fights or arguments, got approached by certain people, or anything else that shaped me into the person I am today. Hitting the restart button, regardless of retaining intelligence or wisdom, will cause those current events to vanish into nothing. As a result, my character would vanish into nothing as my beliefs have no basis.
People are not meant for do-overs or perfection. Flaws. mistakes and failures are prime motivators for positive influence and success.

Not really, because I don't think I wanna repeat 18 years of my life, and knowing everything in school wouldn't be fun, even if I could get higher grades (mine were high enough) because part of going to school is the joy of learning new things and "evolving". That said, I have ONE regret that bothers me every day. And that's not telling that special girl what I thought of her when I had the chance, now it's, for all I know, too late. And her boyfriend is one of my friends (she is too of course) so I can't attempt to end it between them, because I'm not like that, even if a small part of me wants to. All one can do is hope, but even that feels wrong...
Yeah, I'd probably restart just so I could go, "they're going to fly jets into the World Trade Center! Also, Oklahoma City is going to be bombed at some point! And the Unibomber is Ted Kacynski! And don't vote for Bush!" I probably wouldn't be listened to, but I would forever be known as the 13 year old who predicted 9/11. Hmm. I'd also put more effort into getting to know certain girls in school and being more openly funny. If I had known just how little junior high school mattered, there would be a couple bullies with some unpleasant memories of times they got their asses beat.
A girl I had a huge crush on is now happily married to a guy she met in college. Would it be unethical to try to steer her to me in the past, in essence crushing her hopes and dreams, but probably making my life a zillion times better? I know the name of her future husband, I know where and how she will meet him, and I know they'll be happy together. However, I also know enough about her now to know how attainable she was in high school, her likes and dislikes, and her overall personality. I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. Maybe try to be a friend? It's a very Back To The Future situation in which she was seriously injured and fell in love while being nursed back to health. Should I let that happen, too?
And record a couple of Justin Bieber songs. And invest heavily in Apple Computers (or get my parents to do so). Maybe get in on the internet stock bubble early and get out early.

100% yes. It would give me the chance to say goodbye to loved ones that have died and I would be a whizz in school...
Definitely. For all the bullsh*t people will no doubt spew about how they don't want to relive their life, secretly they still have mistakes they'd rather not have made, situations they would have wanted to deal with differently, and most importantly, to delay the ever present death, for we all fear and respect him, whatever we say.
Dude, nice avatar!
OT:
I'd like to wind my birth years back a couple, so I could watch WWE when it was dark, edgy and awesome! Not the mediocre PG crap today. I'm good with the rest of my life though.
