Your Personal "Golden Age"

[mrt144]

anytime with less technology and where your not low jacked.. i have no morals and no conscious

but you sound like your making excuses for not doing anything and living in some dillusional fantasy that you would of been something if only this was different.

in fact i'll be just fine with my no morals in a few years, when i have some cash to do some things

your no morals are lynch pinned by monetary concerns? someone has some teen angst!

If I could take all the modern health systems would me, then definitely sometime, little after the 5 Good Emperors of Rome. Otherwise, probably still in that time, because people did live up to their 60s normally, if they went past childhood all right. Some, like Pythagoras, who lived before the Roman Empire, lived 89 years, so it's not impossible at all.

I think the point is that you can't. Otherwise the exercise would be unrealistic.

The lack of modern health systems is what makes the past eras of history so crap.

I know you can't. The first part of the post was hypothetical. The Pythagoras part is a fact though.

800 BC in Ancient Greece, when men were made of iron and woman were beautiful as hell =)

The sculptures that have survived aren't enticing, but I agree that if we assume I can speak the local language, then ancient Greece would be the place for me.
Although I'd probably die an early death from disease or hemlock.

Any time or place I would've been able to get intoa a significant place of power.

Uh... what the heck is everyone talking about it? I think I missed the point.

There's a sci-fi trilogy called The Golden Age Trilogy. I really liked it.

My 'golden age' will be when aging is cured and then we can go about proper living and development. This whole 'stemming the tide' is fruitful, but not an end-goal

No snail-eating, skirt-wearing, goutee-possessing, pansy language-speaking frog would be smiling if it were up to me.

People lived to their sixties then, but you might have a disease that would kill you then.

I know. Or an infection, or anything like that. But, being born in a different time is just as impossible as being born in a different time and being told by someone that you will live 100 years.

It may sound arrogant, but I think I'd do pretty well for myself at any period in history... I can't think of any period that uniquely fits my individual talents. Which I suppose means I don't have any specific kind of talent........

I would kick butt in Prohibition '30s. Take that, Al Capone!

I suspect I would have made more money playing my music in the 60s or 70s...back when the stuff I love to play was more commerically viable.
