If you could live in any decade or era (to buy, actor, legal)

The poll is multiple choice.

What if you could choose the time you live in?

You can live the rest of your life in that time. Or you can continue your life from a year in that decade.

Or you can just visit it, but only once. You can't keep going back.

What decade or era would you live in?

Would you just visit?

Would you live your whole life there?

Would you just start from a year in that decade and move forward from there?

I'd like to see what life was like in the 50s.

I'd like to see some of the historic occurences of the 40s.

I'd want to visit the 70s because most of my childhood occured then.

I'd also want to visit the 1800s to see what life was really like before modern technology changed so many things so rapidly.

Well I already know life from the 40's until now, and am a history buff, so know some of the past..Therefore...If I can't go to the future and take the family with me I will just stay home

YOu could take your family with you.

You could do whatever would make you happy in the time you chose.

Now we're talkin I would love to be sent back to the Cherokee Nation in the heart of the Smokies and the ancestors of my paternal great gramma..To the time before the white man came, of course..I would like to spend a considerable amount of time there to learn their ways, their customs and their beliefs..I would spend a whole year there and return with much knowledge and more appreciation of the things from nature..

i would go to the 1800's, unspoiled country and open spaces but i'm 51 and would probably already been past the life expectantcy.

I loved the 50's. I was a happy girl and I loved feeling safe and playing in the neighborhood and walking to the store to buy a 45rpm. I guess the whole thing is the family factor, vacations, Disneyland, bowling, camping, boating...I don't know I just loved it. Guess I miss the innocence of my childhood

Ok I'm not that old but remember some of the stuff

How about the future instead of the past? I’d much rather be looking at what would life be like years from now instead of what it was. Yeah,,,, I liked the 50’s & 60’s however wouldn’t life be so much better if we “learned” from our mistakes and moved forward into a better future? No energy crises, excellent health, great education, less stress and hard work, peace all the time with no wars, just think about the future and what it could be instead of the past.

1800...... Back when a hand shake and I do........ did the deal.....

[AksarbeN]

And when someone broke the deal,,,,,, a gun solved all the legal problems without the courts having to spend time doing it for them. Boot Hill in Tombstone had several of those who failed to “live up” to their end of a contract. Key words “live up” !
