If you had a choice...

[Alpha]

I have a feeling that no matter what I picked, I'd be walking around saying, "Oh man, this sucks...."

Why?

[VOguy]

What you describe here VO is exactly what it is like living here in my little community in the middle of nowhere. I can go for a walk at 3 in the morning and not worry, unless of course it's bear season.

I would beam back to the time of the Druids. I don't know why. I don't want to see what's ahead.

Kind of the same way it is up in three U.P. One of the local officers and I were chatting and he said that they have a few DUIs up there, and the occasional bar fight, but most of the serious crime is downstate people coming up to party and just act like animals.

Somehow I feel like I'm insulting the animals.

[HB3]

Why?

Oh, you know, you take your world with you, and all that....

Who was it that said, "I myself am Hell..."? Three guesses!

[snowbird]

Without a doubt, I would like to be beamed into the future - some time after disclosure . While I'm at it, I would also like to be young enough to take some training on a starship. The future awaits...

Somehow I can relate.

[Hadriana]

If you could be beamed into the past or the future, which one would you pick? Hypothetically, you only get one choice for a one time experience. Do tell why you made the past or future choice and what you would hope to gain from the experience if anything. Also explain, if you will, why you wouldn't have picked the other choice.

Well, assuming that I could not say when and where exactly in the past I'd go....I'd say the future, because I can read about the past, and in the future, they probably have a lot of answers to questions I'd love to know the answer to, or at least maybe they'd have a better idea.

Worst case scenerio, I go to the future, and it looks like the past.

I would travel back in time as long as I could keep all my memories in tacked. I would take every decision I made before and do the opposite. The reason I wouldn't go forward is at this point I already know my future.

There a few things I would change fer sure BE! But there are some wonderful times I would never change!

I agree. I was born on Groundhog DayThat's a keeper.

[Mcnowhere]

I agree. I was born on Groundhog DayThat's a keeper.

That's right, we just wished you happy birthday.
Always liked Bill Murray. Very funny guy!

[VOguy]

I agree. I was born on Groundhog DayThat's a keeper.

Does that mean if you get up on your birthday and see your shadow, that there is 6,000 miles of bad road in store for you?

I think if most of us had the choice it would be to go back and redo the things in life that we now know were mistakes. But I think a good number of us would look back at history and conclude that the decisions made to society years ago need changing first. After all, many of the problems we face today are those which affect a larger number of people, rather than just us.

[MuseNoir]

I would go back to September 10, 2001 - inspect the WTC - look for evidence of controlled demoliton. Then the next day go to the Pentagon and watch the impact... and see what hit... film it. Take that film and come back to the present and distribute the truth.

Alpha may have a point.

What makes you think we are not already in the past or in the future right now? We may have forgotten.

Also, how do we know we're not in a virtual simulator (I.E. The Matrix) and just lost memory of this in the transfer. All this could really take place in a few seconds in the real world.
