would you have want to be born earlier even if it meant you would be older

[Primemuscle]

Fair play to you, you seem to have had a rewarding and fulfilling life. Pity you're a fag

Don't pity me. I'll admit my life was pretty tough when I was a kid.  I'm doing fine now. -Have been for many decades. I'm grateful for my rewarding and fulfilling life. A recent landmark event was my becoming a great-grandfather.

Most kids mature, except some who seem stuck in their adolescence - posting idiot comments on Getbig.

Do your grandkids know you are a sexual deviant? Serious question

[Primemuscle]

I didn't mean literally acts of homosexuality, I meant tolerance of refugees, queers, junkies, wasters, and the fact every single child now is adhd or autistic. Smother them all in infant hood, keep the downs children, they're funny

Hopefully, you are completely flawless and that you are joking. Were there junkies in Viking times? Who knew?

[Primemuscle]

You are not capable of asking a serious question. Anyway, it is extremely rude for anyone to ask questions of this nature in a public forum.

Maybe there were but I doubt there was serious public tax paid to help them instead of exterminating them like what should be done

So you hide it from the family?

History is relative.  People a hundred years from now will look at pictures and video of us, and be in awe, of how rough we had it compared to them.  Just like how we look at those who lived a century before us.

Not really. How much more can things improve? We have light, electricity, water, warm water at the touch of a button. An abundance of food, entertainment, opportunities to learn and gain knowledge. How much better can life get for people? I mean it's already on the downturn, social media has turned the next generation into pussified retards with a false sense of the real world. Plus we have the impending civil wars in Europe to come.

How much more can things improve?  People have said that very same thing the entire way.  When computers became mainstream in the 90's people thought the very same thing.

I think we have it as easy as it'll ever be for any generation.

True. However, the one generation that witnessed the greatest changes to mankind regarding technological advances where born in the late 1800's. They witnessed the birth of electricity, lights in a home with the flick of a switch, laundry machines, refrigerators, television's, radio,telephones,computers, gasoline engines, diesel trains, nuclear power, mechanized war, jet engines, space travel, super deep sea diving. Pain free surgeries, innoculations, vaccines.
   No generation since has witnessed a greater change. Before them things literally where unchanged for thousAnds of years. Not counting gun powder.

[The Wizard of Truth]

No. The internet has changed more in the last 20 years than there were advances in the late 1800s.
How we shop, communicate, chat up bitches, get our world news, work, run businesses, get music, medical treatment, keep up with your prep guru etc etc has all been turned upside down by the internet. You could actually be a shut in and work, start relationships, buy groceries and every other essential, keep up with world affairs and be successful.

[Primemuscle]

So you hide it from the family?

So you have the bad habit of jumping to conclusions?

[Primemuscle]

History is relative.  People a hundred years from now will look at pictures and video of us, and be in awe, of how rough we had it compared to them.  Just like how we look at those who lived a century before us.  

That would be far better than looking back and seeing how good we had it.

[The Wizard of Truth]

So you have the bad habit of jumping to conclusions?

Either your kids and grandchildren know you are a sexual deviant or you hide it from them, there's no Grey area, which is it?

[Eyeball Chambers]

the good stuff: say you were born in 1945, then you would've been in your 20's in the mid 60's.

the bad stuff: you would be in your 70's today. that is if you would still be alive.

Yes, I wish I had been fortunate enough to experience the real America.

[DroppingPlates]

How about being born 1700 but stop aging around 22.

Which would mean you would be 22 today.

This has happened to Flint

[DroppingPlates]

fuck it ill answer my own question

yes i rather be born in 1945.

even if that meant i would be dead today.

modern life sucks!

Yet you're using modern technology to vent your frustration
Maybe you should join the Amish?

Wow, seriously? The internet is just a computer screen with a keyboard. It does not do the laundry, it does not drive you to your destination like a car, it does not take people to the skies in jet travel to foreign lands, it does not take you to space, or the bottom of the ocean. You guys the internet is information and shopping. Nothing more to it than that, seriously.

Also you missed my point completely. I said people born in the late 1800's where witnesses to the greatest advancements in world history. This is a fact.

You get medical treatment from the internet?

Id rather go to an MD.

[Mr Anabolic]

I need modern conveniences... electricity, refrigeration, air conditioning, etc.

A period when economic prosperity, manufacturing and jobs were plentiful.

Would like to be a teen when the Beatles first came on the scene.  I could see other great music acts from the late 60's and 70's.

Being a young adult in the free-love era would be fun... bare-backing lots of pussy without fear of AIDS.

So, anywhere between 1948-1953 would be fine.

[DroppingPlates]

yes i wouldnt mind being amish.

fuck modern technology.

As with most technologies, the Internet is like a knife; you can use it for 'good' things and for 'bad' things. Mind you, what's 'good' or 'bad' is mostly up to the individual.

The Amish seem to do well as an community, so they may be happy that way. Too bad they're so fucked up by religion.
