1880's Central Kansas. Swedish Lutherans and German Mennonites as far as the eye could see.

World War II. What a roller coaster ride that was.

Look at steve dave pulling out movie references! Not even Up in the Air either! Whoa!

Yeah right now for me too. Every other time period is worse than this one. Humanity just keeps on doing it, man.

So are we trying to pick when and where you would be born? If you just take your current circumstances and move them back however many years, none of us would be sailors in Europe. More like indians or cowboys in the middle of the states.

But if you could take some of your current knowledge/size/abilities back to where and whenever, there are pretty much endless possibilities. I mean, you could be a stud football player 60 years ago and then bring the spread attack, west coast offense, and read option to football 40 years ago and basically be better than Bear Bryant at KSU. And be super rich investing in pretty much anything.

Obvious answer is the French Revolution. Probably the most noteworthy event in history(and they knew it at the time) and when the overthrow was complete you got to cut people's heads off for years and years.

I'm inconvenienced by the smallest first world problems right now..so why in the hell would I want to live in a time without so many modern conveniences?

Kinda wish I could have started college back in '98, wacky.

Whichever era that is would have been fun I think.

I probably could have been mlb player in the 1920's.

I think it would have been cool to be a part of the greatest generation, granted that is IF you survived WWII. Imagine being a strapping young lad directly after the war? So much opportunity.

Also, screw anything too early, I got sick a decent amount as a kid so any time before antibiotics would have been a terrible time. But now I have a super immune system because of it.. Good thing I made it out alive. Thx modern medicine.

No, I'm more athletic then what those turds were back then. Plus, my 85 mph fast ball would have looked like a 100 back then.

WWII generation doesn't deserve the "Greatest Generation" tag. They were some racist fucks.

I don't think you guys understand how awful the food was really even 30 years ago. Meat was just fat and grissle, fruit was soft and rotted milk was rare and usually spoiled. Bread hard. even booze was not filtered. And, every piece of food was generally handled by some gross, filthy peasant with dookie on their hands. Just a gross mess. You have no idea how good our steroids and antibiotics have made our delicious food supply.
