Question Of The Day, Saturday 11th Of May.

[Norachan]

Good morning.



If you could travel back in time to any era you wanted when would you travel too? what would you do?

I'd go back to the 60's and go to some of the concerts that were held then. It must have been fun to go to Woodstock, or see the Doors or The Velvet Underground play.

What would you do?

 

[Katie M]

I'd travel back to the 1920s. I'd dress like a flapper and go see a first-run silent movie!

 

[maggiedemi]

I would travel back to The Garden of Eden, where I would spend all day with the animals- even snakes, crocs, lions, tigers. There would be no fear on either side.

 

[Mia6]

I would go back to the 30s and try to stop Hitler and his evil from causing the Holocaust.

 

[Graceful-Lily]

This question reminds me of a college project. My best friend and I actually talked about this just the other day.

I think I'd go back to 1960s - before Ted Bundy did what he did.

*Use at your own descretion. Happy travels!

 

[NY cat man]

I don't know if I would or not. The 60s hold too many bad memories. The 70s? Disco- need I say any more? The 1800s? Life expectancy was short because of diseases we can easily prevent or cure today. No, I think I'll stay right here.

By the 1930's it was already too late. You would have to go back to WWI which is where Hitler was blinded and thought the Jews betrayed Germany. This is what started the whole hatred for the Jews.

The flower power era (as an adolescent). I would enjoy the music, the clothing, the laid-backness, and the spirituality.
And as a bonus : no internet !!!

i have the same thought.

My husband went to Woodstock. He said it was wet, muddy and miserable. What a killjoy! Totally wasted on him. Of course, he was neither drunk nor stoned so that may have played a role in his perception of the experience.

I’ve always wanted to go back in time to the Mesozoic Era and the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to observe the dramatic changes in the landscape, climate, and creatures great and small. Moving continents! Dinosaurs! Meteors! The first mammals!

Of course, I’d want to stay on the path and not crush a butterfly. (If you’ve read Ray Bradbury’s short story “A Sound of Thunder” you’ll know what I mean. )

 

[Willowy]

Yeah, me too. Things were kind of terrible in the past. Especially for women. So I wouldn't want to stay more than a couple hours.

Now if it were just a VERY short trip, I'd just like to pop back and watch them making the pyramids so I could report back about how they did it .

 

[aliceneko]

Probably the 1980s (my mother was a student in the '80s and has very fond memories of the era, saying it was the best she lived in) or the 1920s. I love the music and fashions of the 1930s but the rise of the Nazis and segregation; not so much...

 

[Kat0121]

I wouldn't. People get nostalgic for the past, especially for times before they were born because they were told by someone else about how great they were. They had problems of their own. No time was perfect. Pre WW2? That was the depression. They called it that for a reason. The 60's weren't all peace and love. I could go on. I definitely wouldn't want to go back to a time when women were considered property with no more rights than animals. I'll pass thanks.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I'd go back to before the Constitution was written so I could persuade someone to change some things. I probably wouldn't be successful, but I'd like to try.

 

[mani]

If it's a case of just 'dropping in for a visit' I'd like to visit Magadha (now in northern India) at around 500BCE.

I'm currently researching the origins of hatha yoga and this area was the birthplace of the Buddha and seemingly the starting point of many yogic, Buddhist and Hindu traditions. I'd love to have a chat to some of the great thinkers of the time, and just see what it was like (hopefully part of the deal is to be able to speak the language. )

 

[Winchester]

I'd go back to Trump's father in late 1945 and give him a condom.
