(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ...live in any time period in history and be anything in that time period, what would you pick? You don't have any kind of "future knowledge" or anything like that.

I'm a huge history buff/lover, so of course I'd pick my favorite civilization, Rome. Around 100 a.d. and I'd be the emperor. I'd be in charge of the most powerful civilization to ever exist. It was the richest and largest in the known world. I'd make it bigger, richer, and basically fück everyone up with the Roman Army. Outie

Are there any other history lovers who want to chime in? :fa:

At first I thought the Gilded Age in the United States. While sad because the rich got richer while the poor got poorer it was also an age where some houses built were,in todays money, worth over 3Billion dollars. Fact is if I had that financial security I could spend more time for relaxation and pushing my bodies limits.

The obvious downside of course is the lack of knowledge. Financially,ethically,morally and academically. The didn't share the money equally,they didn't treat people with respect,they were close minded,and they didn't allow proper education to the poor/disabled.

But now that I think about it....I would like to begin a place of my own. It would focus on avoiding mistakes that folded past Empires like Rome? in which they tried to branch out to much. What I am going to say next is something very close to me,it is something I have long thought about... If I did have control over an Empire/Planet/Whatever I would not allow those with sicknesses,Mental or Physical into the main colony. They would go to a medical sector for test to prevent the mistakes in the future.

I do not believe they are animals or worthless but rather opportunities. Chances to prevent future broken hearts and to further stregthen the state.


Dude, nice thoughts. I think that would be great, to further prevent disaster. If only it worked that way, we could then figure out and seek to destroy the things killing up or make us immune to it and its mutations. :/

I'd go back about 4 years ago, when the Mega Million (lottery) here was $376 mil.

^^^ Me and my family's life would be set.

Lemme rephrase it then. I'd go back to when they showed the winning numbers, then I'd go further back and play those numbers.

You would still have a billionth of a chance. You don't have any kind of future knowledge.

When you go back the second time, you lose all your future knowledge. You know only as much as everyone else. (You can only go to one time period anyway)

At first I said I would wan't to go into the future just because I think it would be cool and even more so considering I'm into technology, cars, guns and women :lol: Maybe they would all get better in the future. But then I thought if I were to go in the future then I would want to advance like 100+ years but what if the would was like messed up then.

What if WWIII was going on at the time? What if the zombies came and all the women looked like ass ugly zombies? What if the earth got hit by like an astroid and it was a huge crater everywhere and I was stuck there.

Since I wouldn't be willing to take that risk I think I would just stay here in 2012 but since you said you could pick your job or position I would be the CEO of Apple as I said I love Technology and have a line up of cars like the one in your sig and a few more etc. :y:
