If you could be born during any time period, in any place, what would you choose? Keep in mind, you can't say the present -- for that would eliminate any fun this thread has the potential to bring. Anyway, I'd choose the the late 1750s in Massachusets, so that I participate in the American revolution.

Like late 60s in England, or perhaps some place in North America. I'd love to experience the three last decades of the twentieth century. Wouldn't be as fun without my internets though, since I wouldn't be aware of as many of the awesome things that happened during that time.

I'd want to be born at some point during the 201st century, to see if we've made any changes from the 21st.

I would have liked to been born to see Rick Astley preform in concert. I would laugh my head off the whole time and people would get freaked out.

Early 700s, somewhere in Scandinavia, so I could be part of the Viking conquests.

The 1970s. Good music, good movies, good television, good times around the '80s, '90s, and later.

late 1940s or the 1950s. partying in the sixties and seventies man!

But than being a teenager in either the eighties or nineties would have also been cool. As long as I have some idea of what's going to happen so I can get a chance to live it up to the fullest.

^^Same. WW2 seemed like an epic war to get killed in/kick ass in. I'd also like to be born in the 1930's or 40's. This way, I'd be able to go to Dallas on November 22, 1963 to save a certain somebody from getting a boomshot to the head. Or I'd fail miserably...

Um, probably because that was during the Great Depression.

I'd probably like to come of age in the late 15th century, specifically in Italy, both to experience the amazing mixture of culture and to be around (and possibly involved in) the lives of such greats as Da Vinci and Machiavelli. Oh, and this is a time of swordfighting and great flair - some seriously badass stuff - guns are for wusses.
