if you could go forward in time like 200 years or go back 200 years which way would you go? (house, living in)

Putting aside the moral issues for a second...the answer is totally different depending on whether you're a man or a woman.

200 years back, would be 1810. James Madison would be President (our 4th President). It's still new America...frontier land.

For a man ... it would be better to go back 200 years.

For a woman ... definitely go forward 200 years.

I used to think the Victorian era was romantic and thought how fun it'd have been to be there.... until my Grandma informed me that they didn't have anything close to tampons back then.

I'll take "Going Forward" for $100, Alex!

I would definitely go back in time! I have always wanted to live through some specific eras...the Roaring 20's, the 40's, the groovy 60's, and the rocking 70's!

200 yrs. would be interesting though...you're right Mej for a woman though not so much

Obviously forward.
You couldn't eat or drink anything if you went back 200 years.
Your system couldn't handle it.

Going back would be the most interesting but I would like to go forward to see what lies ahead for the world......so I could come back, write a book about it and then when everything comes true I would be famous as a seer.

I would think perhaps if you were a non-white man (or maybe even a white, but non-Christian man) it might still be better to go forward 200 years.

Curiousity wins: I'd go forward to see what's next for the world. But I'd be crossing my fingers that it's not a horrible future... and that I could come back just in case I hated it.

That's exactly what I was thinking too....I'd be more afraid to go back 200 years because I'm a woman than I would to go forward 200 years. Could be scary too but I would want the same disclaimer to be able to come back just in case.

Wow thats like behind the red door or the blue door?????

200 years in the future......life as we know it may not exist.
