    You think infant you will really take what you tell him to heart?

    Not initially, though I'd use NLP techniques to impress the important life lessons upon him! He'd get wise without even realising it!

    Only in jest. I wouldn't force anyone to answer that question ;)
    Or hold it against them if they said no.

    Things are interesting now. It would be a shame to miss out.
     
  8. My initial thought would be to go back to a younger me and tell myself not to make certain mistakes or give advice that would improve my life in some way but then I thought it could not only change the person I am but possibly my children as well and I would never risk them.

    Now, theoretically, traveling to any point in the past could possibly have some ramifications on future events which could then effect me or my children so if given the opportunity I'm not sure that I would take it but if I don't over think it, the time I would most like to go to is around 15-20 thousand years ago, before the dawn of agriculture. I would like to live life in a nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe. Each day just worried about surviving to the next...you know, the simple life:) No politics, no organized religions, no pollution, just imagine living in the world before we really fucked it up. Of course I would be much lower on the food chain, but hey, no one lives forever!
     
  9. Were you, by chance, trying to warn us of an impending toilet paper shortage? :)

    Ah man!!

    Well if I went to 1977 anyway I could get this

    Tons of boxs of Golden grain mac and cheese (My favourite ever)

    However if I went to 1989 I could still get 1000s of dollars worth of plain m&ms and that would be grand!!!!!


    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I want to be transported to 1970, that way I can live through that and the 80s while I'm still young.

    once you make it to the 80s, the cocaine will make you feel young anyway.

    Not sure if your computer is so old that it can't utilize that upward arrow redirect for quotes or you copy a quote and manually type in the person's name.

    If I'm able to go back in time, I'm not going back to my younger days. I'm getting out of here.

    I'd go back to the time of Jesus and see for myself. To the 1200s. To the Tudor period, or the Ancient Greeks.

    christianity would be a VERY different religion if most christians could visit the time he was alive in the flesh. there would not likely be evangelicals nor a pope, and they'd be very tempted to change how the first mycean council ended. there wouldn't be a lot of happy happy about the middle ages (in europe) if most people were to visit as an ordinary person either. but then again, there were other and better places then europe at that time, and actually spain, a few centuries before the inquisition might actually have been pleasant. greeks were pretty rough too, depending on where you were. i wish most people could see for themselves. for me, i'm more curious about places and times less is claimed to be known about. and if humans, or something that fills the human niche, survives the ecopocalyps, its after that, there will be a better time to be alive, then any in all of human history.
