Members Crescent Seven Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm perfectly happy where I am. I like being able to vote, work, play bass, wear pants without being shot or stoned (and by stoned I mean being hit by rocks) and all the other things I basically take for granted as a woman. Even simple things like driving, or even running a dishwasher while I go jam instead of sitting by the sink doing dishes while Mike has a pipe by the radio... bleh. The world has come a long way. Thanks! Hey! Who told you you could use the computer? Get your ass back in the kitchen!!!! C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 Loved being a kid in the 70s. Freedom, flowers and all.80s were the worst years ever. Lame, lame period.Realy enjoyed teenage and college years in the 90s with all the political events and ballsy rock coming back into fashion.Being an adult in the 00s is more than fine. I like worldwide communication and teh interwebz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hmmm...Wizard students that ride their dragons through the Taco Bell drive through after the homecoming Quidditch game.Oh yeah... there's a movie there. Don't give Hollywood any {censored}ing ideas. On topic: I'm not sure if I'd be happy in any time. The past was rife with persecutions for various beliefs (my agnostic / machine relativist self would have been hanged or burned by now). Also in the past was more disease, low life-expectancy... If it was like on the show, I'd like being in the Star Trek TNG universe. No money, no poverty, or hunger. Holodecks, replicators, Starfleet Academy. I'd be all for it. But I know we won't get there most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cpt. Spliff Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 Born in '49 I have lived the technological explosion, the women's lib, the black- and the youth revolution. (That was before the mid-seventies, where everybody were luxury hippies and lost sight of the "concept".) So much has happened through those few decades and I don't think I ever wanted to live in another time. I wouldn't want to be young now, but bearing my history in mind, I am very happy to be alive and feeling good about it. The only thing I envy the kids nowadays is gear. So sophisticated and of good quality. All things vintage (and even plain old) seems to be revered now, but there was a lot of crap around and in todays money it was expensive too.

Members Les_Izzmor Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm perfectly happy in the here and now. I like having all manner of pornography at my fingertips. I like not having to seal Penthouse and Hustler from the drugstore because I'm only 12, and it's 1980, and there is no such thing as the internet.

Members FloydianAnimal Posted March 6, 2009 Members Share Posted March 6, 2009 Sometimes I think it would be cool to have been in my 20's in the 1980's just because I'd dig all the different metal just coming together at the time. I'd have been another long hair metal bassist and it'd probably have been fun... But then, it's great being around now really and there's lot's of music that's come out since the 80's that I dig more anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted March 6, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2009 The only thing I can say about living in a different time would be that I would go back to my teenage years and have a redo. Not to change missed opportunities with chicks or anything like that. What I would go back for is to pay better attention to some people. Looking back, there were a lot of cool people that I simply missed by being a typical aloof teenager. At least I have the opportunity of meeting up with them now.
