Subject: If a time machine existed, what year would you travel back to?
Written By: The Classic ROBLOX Fedora on 12/10/13 at 7:59 pm
I would probably time travel back to 2006. That year feels very dated to me. I wish I could go back!! :-[

1984--attend the Purple Rain premiere.
2009--Take Conrad Murray's phone and break it so he couldn't chat up a whore and let Michael die. I'd grab his tall gangly self and handcuff him to the bedpost. (Be happy, I'm not doing the subhuman any physical harm himself. )
January 2, 2008--This was the day mother took sick the last time, and managed to talk her way out of going ot the hospital for 2 solid weeks, being admitted on January 16. If I could have gotten her to go that very first day, she might still be here. :\'( She was just as stubborn as me.

Wow, from reading many of your posts, I think you like Conrad Murray as much as I like Michael Jackson. ;D
For me, I'd go back to the 1940s, even the mid 1930s....might even go back as far as the 1880s. To a time when life was more simple, less hectic, less dependent on any technology, when people trusted their neighbors, when everyone is a small town knew who everyone else was.

I'd like to go back to the 1930s, around the time of the golden age of cinema. (So I could chase after George Brent)
Then I realize I am BLACK and live in Texas, and if go back, I might not be able to come back to the present. I don't want to decorate any trees. :( :\'(
Also, I wish I could change my father's first memory. When my father was only 4 years old--in 1931--he saw a boy in his teens get beaten to death by the police.

Hm, let me think ::)
Probably any year before 1980, which is the year I was born. Just to see what everything was like. But, if a time machine did exist I would surely go back to 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Only to relive some really great moments in my life. Also, I would go back to 1988...to change one moment and undo something that I did. *sigh* If only it were possible.
Then I would fast forward to 2013 again, because there are too many wonderful things I have happening in the present.

If I could affect change (for the good) I would like to travel to specific points in time... ya know: Germany in the 1930s (Hey you.... don't put on that yellow star!!!) or The Lorraine Hotel in 1968 (Dr King...STAY IN THE ROOM) or Dallas 1963 (Yo... Kennedy...let's try an alternate route) or 9/11 ---- um.... let's not let these 19 dudes on these planes. etc but that's even less plausible than the idea of a time machine itself....
If it were just for self gratification I would go to Hollywood like dates... I would've loved to have been in the audience for various shows in the past, there are some Paley Events that I really wish I'd attended.
If it were self improvement I'd go back to JR high and tell myself to try harder at math... or Freshman year of HS and tell myself to not waste the freaking 4yrs I have here, go to college sooner and get to LA so you can actually work in the industry you love so much!

If I had to go back deep in history, probably the three places I'd love to visit most are Ming Dynasty China, Feudal Japan, and Renaissance Italy.
If it were for self improvement, I'd probably go back to the start of my sophemore year and redo things from there. Overall my high school years were great, but would've been even better if I had pushed myself harder and taken more opportunity. That way I would actually be at a nice university right now and not living with my parents with no job like I am now.

If I could affect change (for the good) I would like to travel to specific points in time... ya know: Germany in the 1930s (Hey you.... don't put on that yellow star!!!) or The Lorraine Hotel in 1968 (Dr King...STAY IN THE ROOM) or Dallas 1963 (Yo... Kennedy...let's try an alternate route) or 9/11 ---- um.... let's not let these 19 dudes on these planes. etc but that's even less plausible than the idea of a time machine itself....
If it were just for self gratification I would go to Hollywood like dates... I would've loved to have been in the audience for various shows in the past, there are some Paley Events that I really wish I'd attended.
If it were self improvement I'd go back to JR high and tell myself to try harder at math... or Freshman year of HS and tell myself to not waste the freaking 4yrs I have here, go to college sooner and get to LA so you can actually work in the industry you love so much!
It would be great to go back in time and change history. But then you get into the problem of paradoxes. :-\\

I would have to ask My Mother if she can find the photo, it is clearly visible, I don't know what the hell happened but as My Mother was doing some painting, I took a a pair of small scissors and snipped my bangs off, It took a long time to grow back. That's why I hated my late 70's class pictures, It was so embarrassing. :-[

everything I ever learned about paradoxes and string theory I learned from Quantum Leap ;D
yeah I worry about that too...plus, in reality, how easy is it to get to people in the front line making the history...and if you succeeded at getting to them you'd have to convince them that you are not a kook....
closest I think I'd ever get is like showing up to when hitler or charles manson was born and kidnapping them... I don't know that could kill an infant....even one destined for evil... so I'd just have to figure something out that would benefit the world...

when I was 7 I set fire to a Q tip...it was one of those with the plastic blue stick (instead of the normal white one) I thought that when the fire got to the blue part it would glow a pretty blue color...instead it melted and dropped a flaming cottonball on my leg.... I still have the burn scar.... I was also lucky I didn't burn down the house (because I had locked myself in the closet because it was dark in there...

Yea, this topic is a bit more intriguing than we’ve really thought about…at least to me it is.
I’d pick 1992, I was young, halfway through college, cool car, really good music, smoking hot girlfriend, smoking ((!) not cigarettes), decent $ in my pocket (well for a 21 yr old in college). Sex, drugs and rock n’ roll… 8) :)
Great time to be alive, but…not sure if I should or should want to go through it again. Not sure if I’d survive it.
Did some pretty dumb things (and got away with it, or didn’t suffer too much for my stupidity), and I would probably now, change a few things that I did, which would mean I’d miss meeting a lot of people I’m with now…learned a lot about myself from those years.
One thing I learned, you CAN’T go back. So enjoy it NOW. :-X

Because I feel that's when America peaked in terms of fashion and culture and industrial design. I love Mid Century Modern design, I love the cars from the mid 60's and I love the garage rock from that era. I think it would be awesome to buy or rent a brand new 1966 Impala and drive around listening to the Top 40 hits on AM radio. I'd love to go into a bar and light up a cigarette and have an ice cold Falstaff. Plus it would be really cool to see how many things haven't changed since then.

Well, yeah, but I'm going to be royalty not a lowly peasant ;D.
European royals were known for incest and intermarrying for one :-X :-X :-X.
Also, even royals of that time didn't have necessarily great or lavish lives. I don't exactly remember the phrase but I remember hearing that middle class Americans on average live a better life than a Medieval king....or something like that.

Sometime in the middle ages probably. the past century is old and all but the way of life is still relatively similar. I want to see how the world was in, idk, 1229 or something.
I like the middle ages but typically. Haha It can't be help. I like European middle age history/15, 1600s? I do like the prince and princess aspect behind it.
Really?
No offense but going to the Middle Ages sounds dreadful to me.
I have a thing for history before then. Egypt and Greece seem fascinating. Egypt just has a badass culture and Greece has addictive lore. Both civilizations has a mysterious affect.
Ultimately though, I would just go back to the 2000s.

I would also love to visit the Woodstock Era from The 1960's, It must've been fun to live the life of a hippy just enjoying yourself, getting crazy and listening to some good music.

The first year that always pops up in my head is 1993.

Okay, let me rephrase what I said. I want to travel to the middle ages but live as part of a super rich non-incestuous family who are immune to all diseases and have proper toilets ;D

I would probably time travel back to 2006. That year feels very dated to me. I wish I could go back!! :-[
2006 was just as garbagy as it is now!!!!!
I would goto 1975!!!!!!
