Probably the dark ages where I descend on the people like a deity and raise an enormous army with which I would conquer the world. I would also bring with me as much knowledge on modern medicine and science to more quickly improve the quality of life or that time period making them adore their iron fisted ruler. 
I have to admit I've had similar thoughts. I've always wondered how a Roman Legion would fair against an attack helicopter. I've never wondered about it. Standard armament on my bird was 16 Hellfire missiles, six AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, 70mm rocket pods (7- and 19-shot), and a 20mm cannon. I'd kick their a$$ back to Caesar's palace. 
That sounds about right. And you wouldn't even need the Sidewinders. What would he do when he ran out of fuel though and nowhere to refuel it? Tables turned then, eh? Simple. I would use the same time portal allowed mr to go back there in the first place to stop at the nearest Exxon station after I returned to the future. Yes I can run on regular leaded (or unleaded in a pinch)gasoline. Or have the fuel sent back in time when needed. Or have oil rigs established somewhere in this time. |

When I was about 15 years old, I was a passanger in a car that rolled. I remember time slowing down to slow motion..it felt like seconds had gone by before there was a huge crowd of people surrounding our car. Felt very strange to be moving in slow motion.

I love the notion of time travel, always have, always will! IF time travel was possible, wouldn't it have happened already? OR are we at the fledgling stage of discovering it. In the years to come that haven't happened yet, we may go back to now, so we would know if it was possible..OR would we? If you traveled back, would you want to change the past & alter the future? Maybe some have come back from the future & don't want to change anything.. |

Don't you realize we are all constantly travelling through time? It just we're always going forward. Can't go backwards. Only forwards. hahaha

So many what ifs..I do like the idea myself

for me probably the 1950s or 60s, or maybe even the 20s.... things seemed better back then, people seemed to have more class and elegance and respect

As with real estate, location,location,location. There wasn't much class is Selma what with all the lynchings, and voter suppression. The Supremes had yet to rule on Loving v. Virginia, so Sidney Poitier would NOT be coming to dinner just yet. Women for the most part were property, in fact it was actually LEGAL for a husband to "rape" his wife. If said dadcame home drunk, walked into the wrong bedroom, and drunkenly raped his daughter, she could be quietly "disappeared" to the nearest convent to have the baby, while mom told everyone she was"visiting relatives back east.." Yep! Sounds real "elegant" to me!

And you don't think that some of those things still happen today? Animals have more rights than people do today..things are crazily out of control now. |

Going back in time would undo both the good and bad. Not just the bad.
I wouldnt go back because even though there were times that really sucked, there were a lot of beautiful things as well that I wouldn't want to miss. |

My point was if you're gonna make the trip, have some fun. Me? Forget about the Roman Army. I'd love to take my Cobra or Cayuse back to the 1880s and help Lincoln kick some Confederate donkey balls.

the 40s because of the clothes. I'd have to be a type fiercely independent doing research & writing novels in the Austrlian outback or the Kapiti Plains waiting for my handsome British Captain/ lover who secretly sympathizes with the Irish to fly in......

why did u type rape in quotation marks? Probably because at that time, the actual statute read something along the lines of: "Rape: Carnal knowledge of a woman, NOT THE WIFE of the accused, without her informed consent." It was impossible for a man to rape his wife. No didn't mean no, sex within a marriage was no different than killing in war. It was to be expected, and at times, could be demanded. The good ole' days were quite elegant huh?

History as we have been taught really doesn't sound elegant but I think it was meant like this....people who had dignity and self respect were very classy. People dressed right up..spoke proper..had manners ect..you just rarely see that today..people are so caught up in themselves these days.

well the middle class had indoor plumbing. Women did not truly have equal protection under the law and really they still do not. Despite recent reports of perpetrators being prosecuted for rape and sexual assault, it took publicizing those cases until authorities could no longer hide to get those prosecutions started. Until these authorities were "shamed" there was no prosecution. Shameful. It's no different now. A woman's best luck is to find a man who will treat her respectfully, or else stay away from them altogether. I'd still choose the 40s because the clothes were cute and if we found a good man the economy was such that he could afford to support a wife if she wanted to keep the home. I agree with candiapples....there were classy people and creeps then as now, but back then people were not as self absorbed. There was not so much demand for "instant gratification." The pace of life was generally slower...no email...no instant messages...no instant anything. People visited and had face to face convos. |

there is no traveling to the past or to the future...
the past only exists in our memory, the future only exists in our imagination, in reality, the past and future do not exist at all the past, because it is over...the future, because it hasn't happened yet...memory, time, dreams, imagination and such are just a function of the living brain, a mass of cells encased in a skull of some sort, that lives only in the here & now....no past, no future, only the present..... Sha la lah...Live for TODAY..... |
