Would u wanna live in the olden days?
02/09/10 at 18:30:45
 
In this techno,logic world would u rather live in the 1700 or 1800s? and what would u do if you did live in that time? and

Imagine it, Clark could own a yam farm and a brothel. Penev would go to the brothel on tuesdays and exchange a cow for sex.

The possibilites are endless. You could own slaves and murder indians or you could even live under Napolean (Flo  Roll Eyes)

Imagine Etch as a doctor in the 1700s. He would like saw peoples legs off and prescribe leaches.

People who live in the 19th century really grind my gears. Why don't they get with the freakin' program? It's called an automobile, folks. It's much faster than a horse!

I absolutely would prefer to live in the olden days.  Wars were had.  Men were made.  We had purposes.  Not to mention the cocky arrogant guido type didn't exist and people had more sex (there was nothing else to do.)  Finding a wife was easy (one was basically assigned you to,) chivalry still existed, the government left you alone and the environment wasn't raped over yet.

I often tell people i'd like to go back to the 19th century, 1840ish. Apart from the plague/disease I think that century is one of my favourites. People spoke with respect and dignity, people dressed well (well the upper classes) and as goose said, men were men.

so yea, georgian or victorian times for me.

Sounds good Tom.

I chose the 80's as a teenager because no other decade had such an amazing style of fashion.

It was like Cyber-Punk without the Cyber....

mark my words... the 80's will come back as CYBER PUNK!

That's if you live past age 15 before being killed by disease, war, etc

I would prefer to live in the past because the world we live in is getting more and more messed up with each year that passes. The rainforests are being cut down, global warming is melting the ice caps, we've imported damn near everything we own from China, all sorts of strange substances being put in our food, Iran has nuclear weapons, farm animals are artificially inseminated while women kill their own children and call it "planned parenthood"...

This clearly isn't how God intended man to live. 2012 is coming and I hope He's going to teach us all an important lesson.

We may have been less civilized and less technologically advanced in the 18th and 19th centuries, but I've got to give my ancestors a little credit for not ruining the planet (even if it was just due to the fact that they couldn't). Especially the Cherokee ancestors, I need to find out who those are. They knew (and still know) how to live in harmony with nature, much better than the modern, totally-spoiled-on-technology white man. (I highly respect the Amish for this same reason) Protecting nature is the most important thing because whether we choose to believe it or not, it is our lifeblood.

The James Cameron movie Avatar takes place in a 22nd-century future where Earth has become barren and inhospitable, but to be brutally honest, I think man will never even make it that far into the future if he does not change his ways. What we need is a The Day The Earth Stood Still courtesy of the great Lord who I bet was happier with the way we lived when He was here two millennia ago. Klaatu ain't got nothing on JESUS!  Smiley

I'm kind of on the fence myself...

I think values and morals in general have been thrown to the wayside as time has passed, and as a society, we're almost desensitized to a lot of things that probably should bother us more because it seems as if there isn't a "normal" anymore. If I were going to live in the past, I would live either in the very early 1900s (beginning of industrialization) or in the 1950s (still some modern conveniences but before the hippie movement and all that). I think in general that it would be nice to live in the same culture as my grandparents, back when working hard actually meant something and employees were valued more than they are now. When my grandparents were my age, certain things were expected of people as they aged and communication between people was much more personal and took more effort (no Facebook/IMs/texting/any of that). Manners and social etiquette was valued and expected more as well.

But the one thing I would take with me to the past is the strides in women's rights in the last century or so. I would never want to live in a culture where my opinion isn't appreciated and where women were only expected to be able to cook, clean and pop out babies, and the decision to have children wasn't mine but my husband's. I don't ever take for granted the fact that I can vote and have a job outside my house, and I can have any job I like and am qualified for.

Men could be men and women knew their place. :'(

I hate how shitty some things are with technology but if I was around back then, maybe I could have invented something that wasn't invented yet.

I don't think you want to live too far back in the past, with all the diseases and stuff. Your life expectancy gets worse the further back you go. And women didn't shave.
