If you had the choice, would you want to live in the past, present, or future? Please explain why you would want to live in either of these. ^_^

Present.

Why? Well we know what happened in the past. I live each day as it comes and have the thrill of each new obstacle fate throws me and in respect of that it's through my choice's in life I have these obstacles. Future, well I would not of evolved mentally enough to maintain my equilibrium.

I'm with Nik, though it would have been nice to live in the past, I think the present is the way to go for obvious reasons.

You would die or dissappear into inconsistancy. However you would know the truth and that is a far scarier prospect.

Yes, I would know the truth... and I could uncover many lost treasures. Such as, the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, the place where Jesus was crucified.. etc. :)

Now that is interesting and a very valid point. But you would also face the prospect that these are lies?????? I agree though Alex it would be good.

Prospect does not mean not real, merely they may not be. I would hate to find out they were false prophecy's designed to contain and discipline the populous. However I would also like to prove they are true. Either way elightenment is on the cards.

I would love to live in the past with the indains. If anyone ever saw "Into The West" on TNT, they will know why....

In my mind and around the bend, there you'll find my imaginary friend. And if you walk on down the road, there you'll find my humble abode. Go around the back and toward the sea, and there you will find, little me...

Hey, on with the spirit of this thread, says I ...

Always thought it would be interesting to go back to the Wild, Wild West. Six gun slung on my hip, walk into a tavern and have a whisky. Ride on horses. Live off the land.

Disagreement? Have a shoot out. (All this said from the false security of playing first person shooter games and thinking I am pretty good, lolol.)

There is an old, old movie, "A Man Called Horse." Check that one out. Bit gory mind you, in some places, but, I want to be that 'guy.'

The Wild West is awesome... I myself would like to live in the 1800's. Singing by campfires, wranglin the cattle, having that awesome southern accent, home cooking. Basically everything... even as Purmusic said the shoot-outs are pretty cool too. ;D Or I would live in the time of the Crusades and become a knight (even though I'm a girl I would disguise myself) and fight. Though I don't really like why the Europeans went there in the first place.

I was just waiting for you to say you wanted to back back to medieval times :). I think i'd go back to right before the first "your mom" joke was born and knock whoever said it unconscious (sp?)

I'd live in the past . . . say mid 1980's . . . That little Harvard drop-out dork that just started his own little software company needs someone to invest in some kind of "windows operating system" idea . . . . . . . Oh yeah, then I would invent the internet and run for vice president. . .

I would if given a second chance live in the future. Sometime where the imagination I have I can convert to a form and show my untapped art due to technological progression also I would be bionic.

Hmm, I can think of a few historical music moments that I would have liked to have been present for and I mean going back to Mozart, Beethoven ... unveiling their commissioned works ... right up to ragtime (oh, love that piano by Scott Joplin), birth of the blues ... the first Woodstock and on and on ...

A tour of music's history, complete with front row tickets and a t-shirt :) .
