I should have been born in the year 3000.

Just imagine the things I'm missing for being born in 1976! I won't be able to play with the Xbox Revolutions version Z-1000. Or fly the new Chevy Sports Lightspeed Sedan. And I won't be able to wear the latest fashion in thermodynamic Dimension teleporter suits.

This sucks!

if you say so.

And you also won't have to live to the point in which families are no longer spread out, and everybody has to in-breed.

yeah another point well spoken.

Psst.... that hasn't happened yet.... shifty

But I'm sure some kid in the year 2999 AD will read this in the Ancient Hall of Internet records.

sure i wanted to be born a day later on the fourth of july

yes sometimes

I do.. i really believe I would have enjoyed growing up in the 50s or the 70s

I should've been born in the 40's

I belong in some Mafia in the Streets of New York in the 1930ies

Or as a Knight In Anglo France in the 1300's

But Ideally in the year 2700 or so.

My only thoughts are that I've been born as the wrong species, not time period...but to each his own

SpellJammer would've adapted.. His only mission in life is love, and love knows not the bounds of space and time..

Infact, he'd probably act more or less the same..

SpellJammer in 1930s: These damn democrats are nazi sympathzing bastards who want to destroy our way of life!
SpellJammer in 1960s: These damn hippies are commie-sympathizing bastards who want to destroy our way of life!
SpellJammer in the 1970s: These damn jive turkeys are Korean-sympathzing bastards who want to destroy our way of life!
SpellJammer in the Now: These damn liberals are terrorist sympathizing bastards who want to destroy our way of life!

I think I should have been born mid-late 70's, but growing up the way I am now is fine. The future would be mad too.

Yeah, you might think you want to be born in a different time period, but you don't.

None of you do.

I would love to have been born in the 50s

EsteemedLeader in 1930s: Five more minutes...yawn
EsteemedLeader in 1960s: Ten more minutes...yawn
EsteemedLeader in 1970s: Fifteen more minutes...yawn
EsteemedLeader in the Now: **** it, I'm staying home...yawn

No you wouldn't.

How would you know

Because, there's only one reason you want to go to the fifties.

Do you know what it is?

No

Because it's different from this time period.

If you were born in the fifties, it wouldn't be 'different'.

See what I mean? You might want currently to travel back to the fifties because you grew up in the now, but if you were BORN in the fifties, nothing would be unusual.

I just think my kind of personality would be better fit in the 50s

You wouldn't have the same personality. It would be completely different.

And you wouldn't actually be in the fifties, since you'd only be 1 to 10 years old. You'd actually be in the sixties and seventies.

In the 50s you would be expected to be a stay at home mom, could you deal with that?

There's perks and downsides to every generation. The 50s were alot more grateful for what they had, because it wasn't much, they were just getting over the depression, and people were very conservative do to just getting over world war 2 and prohibition.. It was both a peaceful and stressful time. Men were men and women were women. SpellJammer isn't saying it was bad, but it's something we being born in the midsts of femenist movements and affirmative action could not perceive as anything less then hell..

Yes I do. I have many reasons for wanting to be born in a different era.
Those are;

1. Music was changing, it was fresh, artist played their instruments (I'm not dogging 'new' artists there definitely are some good ones out now) music had a new sound which is being ripoff now. Just growing up around music (specially genres like Rock and Funk) would be good.

2. Just like music, classic movies that we take for granted now, we would be able to see in cinemas. Instead of having to wait every blue moon for a good movie to be released.

3. WOW! who cares if I wouldn't be a kid around the time Video games became popular or the age of technology. I basically hate video games and technology now-a-days is great I advocate for it all the time, but I'd still be around for it. I wouldn't be missing much at all.

4. I feel like I don't belong here personally, and that's something you have NO say against since you have no idea who I am/or me.

You still wouldn't want to be born in another timeline.

eh...people listen to music or watch movies of previous time periods and wonder why so much of what comes out now is bad as compared to before. In truth, you look back and remember the better things because it's those songs and movies that have survived the decades and still seen as "good", where there was undoubtedly its share of unoriginal or just bad works back then

Indeed. There was a 'mainstream' back then too.

We're not saying you're wrong about 4 rather, pointing out some common misconceptions of the "good ol' days"

People didn't whine as much in the 50s..

SPELLJAMMER SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE 50S!

I've read this over 4 times and it's sort of making sense, that is if you're trying to say that people back in those days also compared like we do today, with music, movie etc, and that there was sh*t that was bad back then too, and the good stuff is the only stuff you seen because it has survived.

If that is your point, so what? every decade has its bad points, But some have a majority over others, like the 00's for example. I wouldn't mind some bad sh*t for some great culture.

Yeah but mainstream was better back then, than it is today.

No, it was just as mainstream, in fact even more so, back then.

1970 so i could rock on in the 80's

4. towards the end was poorly constructed true, but the general Idea should have gotten across. This thread is based entirely on opinion. 'Have YOU ever thought you were born in the wrong time period?'
That is a personal question, in which you have NO say over on others thoughts. Plus you have no idea who I am so your comment on my thoughts are totally invalid, nor are you me so again your comments on my thoughts about my thoughts being wrong are invalid.

Originally posted by EsteemedLeader

Whether or not it was more mainstream is irrelevant to what I said. I said it was better being again MY OPINION. Plus there is nothing wrong with it being more mainstream. I hate 00's mainstream (more or less) not the 70's.

Don't idealize what happened before just if you weren't a part of it. In truth, it's no better than now.

He brought up the point, I elaborated.

This is the point, right now you are thinking that all the stuff you have is old, out of date, and shit like that. If you were born in the year 3000, you would start thinking the stuff you had then sucked, and that you would rather be born in 4000, and etc...

How would you know? You were born the same year I was.

Well, somewhere along the line, you've got this great big assumption that the 50's were way better than the way they are now. You're judging this from the idolized music, movies, and some feeling you have that you "don't belong" in modern day. Do I know for sure? Of course not. Yet, we've had 50 years of progress to make up for what was wrong then. We've got a long way to go, but when compared to modern day, it seems really silly to want to go back so badly to a time period that you have no personal experiene with.

1. First off, if you bothered to read my first post, I said that I'd like to be born in the mid-late 70s, not the 50's.

2. The 70s were better (IMO) with music, movies etc. That would be my reason for wanting to be born then. That's why I'm judging it from that perspective, of course sh*t like medicine and science have gotten better than before they will continue to get better it's how we evolve. In the 70's medicine was better than it was before 30 years from then.

3. Most of this is not relevant. Who cares about progress and the sh*t we did wrong then?

4. I've had personal experiences with the 70's I've heard their music seem the movies, love the culture. That was my experience from what I seen and hear, that's reason enough for me to say so.

Hi, Sorry to bother you guys, but can you please help me try to find the name of a film im looking for, i haven't seen it since a kid, i can only remember a few things about it. Right here goes-

- I thing it's a mid 80's to early 90's US film.

- It has a song in it by "David Bowie" called "ashes to ashes".

- One of the scenes is in some kind of designers place with loads of model dummies or Mannequins

- The eyes of the zombies/robots change colour to red or pink i think.

- The main character's girlfriend turns into one.

- I think he kills her in the end in some kind of lake or something, by stabbing her in the chest with a metal pole if i remember?

Thats all i can honestly remember about the film. I have been searching for ages now but cant find it as i don't know the name of it, lol. if you know what im talking about or vaguely remember the name i would love to know.

thanxs

Not when I have to make something clear.


Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam.

I'm pretty much spot on I think. I'd hate to have been born any later than mid-eighties. I don't envy people younger than me, because they just don't have it as good. The future is f*cked and I won't be around to see it. Thank God.

Apart from being where I am right now, I'd probably pick the 50's, the heyday of my grandparents.

I'm a sucker for newest technological gadgets. That's why I should have been born somewhere in the future. But then the future becomes the present...and then the present becomes the past.......


.....Mind Warp

I woulda loved to have been around in the 70's, so I could see all of the classic horror films I love on the big screen when they were new.

.....Mind Warp what you just said made my head spin.

Around the year 204 in china.

hey that would be an awesome time period.

Of course, id be able to live in the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms period, would sure be great.

totally I think I would go to the japan period when it was the wars with the western and eastern armies.

I would like to be a teenager in the 80's that woulda rocked.

like my dad was I know with all the hair bands that would rock.

I wouldn't say that the time period was right for me but actually I don't care. All I really want is a rebirth of the exactly same date to start my life over with no mistakes, study harder, not waste time playing stupid video games, and learn much more than I know now.

If only it was possible that I would be reborn again....

I have thought about that many times fixing mistakes and so on. Somethings though I would continue to do that way the things I want will happen.
