Would you go back in time?

[Ship]

Full question:
If you had the choice between $50,000 or the chance to go back in time to the age of 13/14 and be able to go through high school and college knowing everything that you know now which would you choose?

Personally I would choose the going back in time. I had a great time in high school and am having a great time in college, so I would definitely want to relive all of those moments. Also, since I would know everything that I know now, it would totally make it worth it. I would get the chance to not make all of the mistakes I made and I could take the chances I always wish I had.

I could tell all the girls I wasted my time on a big "fuck you" and never talk to them again as I should have. To me this is the easiest choice I've ever made but I've talked about it with some other people and they have differing opinions so I'm curious to see what you guys think.

personally idk im still in highschool as a junior and yeah i guess i can see it that i would. I mean theres been times ive wanted to say things or just not do something that i should have or could have done. so to see how my life would play out with those things being in there would be interesting to see. but 50,000 dollars would come in handy for my future haha. but id probably pick going back in time i could earn more money for the future that way anyhow.

I would go back in time, relive that one night at summer camp. you can fill in that one night with whatever you want.

The $50,000. I hate reruns.

[razorbladesigh]

I may be biased, being a Senior in HS, but I would take the 50K. 50K would pay for the last two financially unaccounted for year of college, and still have some left over.

If you go back in time, you run the risk of altering history, as well as your personal life. You say you're living a great life now, and you want to relive it all, but the reason you're living such a great life is because of the events of your life. Think about it! If you switch things around, you'd probably live a shitty life.

I'd take the 50 grand.

This was my thought as well - I'm in a pretty good spot in my life right now, and wouldn't want to jeopardize it by screwing up some insignificant decision in my past.

Highschool was fun and all, but it's not worth re-doing it and potentially jeopardizing my future.

Plus you can buy a TON of ring-pops with $50,000

But there's the chance of changing it for the better, which makes it worth the risk for me. I mean I had a fairly successful run at high school my first time around, so I figure I can only make it better with experience. In this hypothetical situation you don't go back to the life you are at now, you just go through your younger years with the knowledge you have now about life and whatnot.

I would take the money, I have a feeling if I went back in time, I would find some way to fuck things up worse than they already are.

Yeah I've got the same one. 50 grand any day.

[dx5231]

Maybe your sig?...

That was around the first time I ever got hurt. I did something beetle-headed I shouldn't have and dislocated my knee. Now I have limited mobility in my right knee and weakness in my left. I could back in time and try to live a safer life or take the $50,000 and get the surgery needed. I choose going back in time because there is also some other things I missed out on.

I pick the money
Repeating time will always a terrible idea

[tox]

if i could have a cheat sheet with all the numbers. letters, and so forth.. id take it in a heart beat.. i could party FULL TIME and get A+ on everything

[AnonymousAlchemist]

Go back in time, knowing what I know. I've made many mistakes I wish I could take back. I'd do things right the second time around.

[Warrickneff]

obviously i would go back in time and start betting spreads on superbowls and stanley cups to make waaay more than $50,000.

also then i can be a big pimp with my college education in high school.

You were in summer camp one night, and a huge DOCTOR OCTAGONUPUS ATTACKED YOU AND FIRED HIS LAZAS ON YOU!

(look up it up on youtube :)

[sixflab]

Going back in time is obviously a better choice since it gives you that almighty power of time and the potential to redo your mistakes and better yourself.

[SaltyRiceGroup]

50,000 dollars ftw

[deadlaw117]

no point on going back 1 year ago so give me that damn 50,000 dollars already!

[wildface098]

I'd take the $50,000 and jump into the time machine...

Oh, wait...

[MoriChax]

I'd love to go back in time to fix things, but I'd be scared that I wouldnt get back friendships, or some how make my life worse then what it is.
So I'd probably take the money and save it for my future.

[Domo]

Since im still pretty young i would chose 50,000

[Lowercaser]

Dont fuck with the space time continuum, that shits bigger than you... where the gold at, i want the gold

[Deathbybible]

How about both? Take the 50,000 dollars, go back in time, put the money in the bank then go back to the present and collect the extra cash earned by interest! Profit I say!

[XpandoZ]

The money.

[Toastman7007]

Go back in time, fix shit up, wait till present day. Collect $50,000 for "not going back in time".

I win.

[BoobyDaBunny]

I would take the money. High school was fun but I have no regrets. At least with the money I could make my futur a little brighter =)

[Mecha-Bear]

YOU DON'T FUCK WITH TIME.

I'll take the money.
