If you had a Time Machine, where would you go?

[Sligoth]

oh great, another newbie trying to take the moral high ground in a simple fucking debate. i have not been offensive with you once in this entire thread, but there's a first time for everything.

does this make me 'the man'? does it does it? fuck the man, man! yeah, i'm like a businessman in a suit and stuff and kill people and start wars and build guns to get money! fucking yeah!



"i'm not wrong, you're wrong!"



OMG i know people from the 60's, too! can we be bff's?



i was never trying to tell you that one decade was better than the other, i thought that was blatantly fucking clear, because that's what you are doing, 'brotha'. i was pointing out that all decades have good and bad points, and you were blanking many of the 'bad' points due to your illicit love affair with it. and I'm sorry if you can't understand that.

Harharhar.
You just brightened up my day, brotha.

[MA]

yay!

can we have sex yet? hippies like have orgies and stuff right?

[Sligoth]

yay!

can we have sex yet? hippies like have orgies and stuff right?

Only if you change your avatar back.

[MA]

have a bath and cut your hair and i will consider it.

[abe619]

what no Nefertiti?

[MeechMunchie]

Can't we all just get along?

Besides, I need someone to explain to me what this Oddworld thing is.

ANYWAY, the moral of this story is that all decades were better or worse for certain groups of people in roughly equal amounts. Also, not to use computers in rooms with poor ventilation.

[MA]

i must have missed that moral, because the only moral i learnt was that HIPPIES ARE STUPID AND WANNABE HIPPIES ARE EVEN STUPIDER AND THE 60'S WAS SHIT FUCK YOU, that's what i learnt.

[Wings of Fire]

I have long blonde flowing locks, perma facial fuzz, dance around my room, laugh innanely, listen to old rock music, believe I'm a child of the earth before any countries and I dig free love.

I would hate the sixties.

[Emesdee]

I never much saw the appeal of the sixties. Sure, you could say "It was a simpler time" but you might as well just go back a decade earlier if you want that. Wanting to live in a certain era purely for the pop culture is never a good idea, especially since the sixties all around would probably have been every bit as depressing as our previous decade.

[OANST]

I never much saw the appeal of the sixties. Sure, you could say "It was a simpler time" .

Except that it wasn't. It was an extremely complicated time, in fact.

[shaman]

I think i would go back to the eightees. Because i belong there culturally.

[OANST]

Was there a Wiccan renaissance during the 80's?

[shaman]

No. That was 1973.

[Strike Witch]

Wiccan renaissance? Wasn't that when they made up 95% of their crappy beliefs and put them in a book?

[shaman]

What book are you refering to?

[Alf Shall Rise]

I think I would travel in the future to see what has happened, about a decade or so from now. However, I'd be afraid of running into someone I know now.

[Strike Witch]

What book are you refering to?

I dunno? maybe there was no book. All I know was there was some guy who revived Wicca by winging a lot of it.

[Wings of Fire]

gotta believe in that feminine principle man yeah

[Nate]

Wiccan renaissance? Wasn't that when they made up 95% of their crappy beliefs and put them in a book?

Are you, by any chance, referring to Gerald Gardner and his books 'Witchcraft Today' and 'The Meaning of Witchcraft'?

It's all just money, material items don't really matter to me as much as some other things. And to be honest, I prefer old style wooden Tv's and radios etc. Even vintage cars. Never had any use for uni, I left school 8 years ago and have been earning my money from music since. Not a lot, but some. I have friends who went to uni. Graduated scholars, who are now working in dead end jobs. Not saying Uni is useless, but to be fair a lot of people end up in the same miserable situation regardless what scholarships they have.

Okay, that's fine, but my point was less about the money and more about the creature comforts that we take for granted today that didn't exist back then. My guess is that you've lived all your life with airconditioning, everyone owning cars, and the NHS so that you didn't even imagine a world without them.

[Strike Witch]

Maybe. I thought there was some schmo named Crowler or something involved, though.

[Wings of Fire]

Aleister Crowley (pronounced /ˈkroʊli/; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast, was an influential English occultist and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religion of Thelema. He was a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as a co-founder of the A∴A∴ and eventually a leader of the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.).[1] He is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, although he also wrote on other esoteric subjects such as astrology and magick.

Crowley was also a hedonist, bisexual, recreational drug experimenter, and social critic. In many of these exploits he "was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time", espousing a form of libertarianism based upon the rule of "Do What Thou Wilt".[2] Because of this, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as "The wickedest man in the world."[3][4][5][6] Alongside his esoteric activities, he was an avid chess player, mountaineer, poet and playwright. It has been alleged that he was also a spy for the British government.

GUESS WHO HAS HIS BOOK

MY BROTHER HAS HIS BOOK

OH FUCKING SNAP

[used:)]

I couldn't pick a specific time to live, since they all had their shortcomings. I'm quite happy having been born in the early '90s; growing up with the internet in a time of prosperity for the US. If it's a question of "where", then I have a few choices. I might as well wish for a special life though, since there's no telling what things would be like for me. Depending on how I'd grow up, I could either end up loving the times or hating them. I see much of what I value now is only because of a very lucky turn of events and cirumstances throughout my life.

[T-nex]

I liked the 90s.. It was my childhood. Though I wish I'd gotten the 80s with me. I think they would have been fun to experience.

[Emesdee]

Except that it wasn't. It was an extremely complicated time, in fact.

Trust me, I'm not saying that. I've heard enough from my mother to know that I am glad I was born at just the right time modern convenience wise. But still, I'd find that at least a slightly better (if still misinformed) reason.

[Phylum]

I'd like to live in the 1700s. God everything was simpler then...


I'd love an authentic Baroque flute, as well.

[Wings of Fire]

Yeah, I'd love to have grown up in the Industrial Revolution and spent my life in effective slavery.

[OANST]

Me too! High five! Bunkmates forever! Or at least until one of us reaches our life expectancy of 35.

[abe619]

i would go to about 120,000 BC, there were many women back then, huuuuuuuuuuuuuge ones.
i would also help the poor stupid cave men.

[Wings of Fire]

You have something about fat women don't you?

[MeechMunchie]

Who doesn't?

I'd watch all of my best moments again.
