Simple question. What decade do you think you belong in? I swear I belong in the 50's. The only problem is the 50's hated communists. But besides that I believe I belong in the 50's.

Bonus: Pick one person and say which decade you think they belong in.

Ben Gibbard: So belongs in the 50's with me.

Poll to come.

I would have to say The 50's too.

Late 70's/early 80's. Anything earlier is too old, anything later is to new.

*Dam I sound like an old fart*

I think that I could've lived a happy computer nerd life in the 1970's or 1980's when computer technology was still uncomplicated. But when Microsoft began controlling the market, computers became toys.

So, I'm an organic chemist now. There are still plenty of entire undiscovered chemistries around, not to mention reactions. I don't think this area will be toy-ified by a company like Microsoft very soon.

Well...A good decade back would've been very helpful, but we are rather awesome right now...

Simple? I was going crazy! I chose the 60's, but the 20's is close second.

Orson Wells, in this decade! All the nice movies that would be around!

*dreams*

Yeah, and by the way, DON'T LIST BANDS HERE. We don't care.

(IMHO.)

Dude, if Citizen Kane was made NOW, do you really think it would be as good as if it was made in 1941? The day they remake Citizen Kane is the day a lot of people die.

Yeah, and by the way, DON'T LIST BANDS HERE. We don't care.

(IMHO.)
I posted Ben Gibbard. People can post bands if they want.

wow, I can't believe so many people picked the 80s!

it wasn't that great back then. Go back to the 60s, we had the hippies, the beatles, the space race, Kennedy, Vietnam, it must have been awsome! Too bad I wasn't there.

This decade, of course.

And in the Eighties we had Stoners, Motley Crue, the space shuttle, Reagan, and the cold war. w00t! It was awesome.

"What decade do you think you belong in?"

I honestly don't know. I'm either a total anacronism and should have lived in a time of great conflict, or was born way before my time and should be involved in some great galactic exploration. :eek:

The 40's by far. I hope I'll be a a couple years older when 1940 comes around though, maybe about 18,19. Extremely quick developement and I get to see America become a contender for top super power. Plus, I could go fly without the computers controlling everything I do. Real dogfights...

I belong in the 50s back in the good old days
People at my work make fun of me cause and say my dream life would be....
1 boy
1girl
small urban home with a white picket fence
a wife that stays at home with a long poodle skirt
go to church every sunday
green mint colored microwave and frige......

that would be the life
Plus i love Macartyism and i hate commie scum.

The 1690s.

Rock on! 80s is winning!

Man, the 80s were the best decade I hardly lived through. That was when everything (music, technology, science, art) started exponentially developing/expanding.

The pained music of the 80s alone is enough to love it.
I get such a rush of inexplicable nostalgia and bittersweet emotion when I listen to good 80s music. Nothing before or since can compare, except maybe (good) themes from cartoon shows.

No, the ideal life is a huge plot of land in the middle of nowhere with normal weather. A small town within ten miles of your huge self sufficient land, and oh, about 12 kids born or adopted. And of course a private avioneta. It also has to be solar and wind powered electricity, be situated over a natural gas field, and have a couple of generators. Oh, and no computers.

The 1690s.
Suck. You'd die of disease or starvation or something else before your 40th birthday.

The 1970s again. Post pill, pre aids.

The 1690s.

1680s, 1780s, 1880s, those were all important decades of outstanding development in philosophy/humanities, political systems, and industrialization, respectively.

The 1970s again. Post pill, pre aids.

Good call. I just can't stand the music and the lack of electronics.

Why of course the 1910's, old sport. That way I could give those damned Huns the what for in the Great War.

Good call. I just can't stand the music and the lack of electronics.

The music would have to depend on what part of the decade. I'd go for 1970 itself to start with. But then I'm into blues based rock and the roots of heavy metal.

As for the electronics, it existed, and was much easier to deal with if a little larger. (Less ICs)

Oh, and I'd take my wife with me.

I belong in the future, beyatch!

Dude, if Citizen Kane was made NOW, do you really think it would be as good as if it was made in 1941? The day they remake Citizen Kane is the day a lot of people die.
Ok, but.. War of the Worlds would be much better if it was made today.. exact way.. just.. better effects and shit.

Mention the new Tom Cruise one and die.

The 40's by far. I hope I'll be a a couple years older when 1940 comes around though, maybe about 18,19. Extremely quick developement and I get to see America become a contender for top super power. Plus, I could go fly without the computers controlling every
thing I do. Real dogfights...

I must concur - world war 2 dogfighting appeals to me. A pilot in WW2 is my ideal environment, so 40s.

Now.

I honestly wouldn't fit in at all anywhere else. Besides which, things are starting to look up for America again (and they haven't since the start of the 50's). I wouldn't be suprised to see a cultural movement away from conformity and stupidity in the next decade or so.

Sure, the music sucks, the (current) politics suck (although they give me a hobby), the people suck, but that's basically a given in any era.

70s, you can't beat the music.:D

Except for disco, and Vietnam...oh shit!:eek:

I must concur - world war 2 dogfighting appeals to me. A pilot in WW2 is my ideal environment, so 40s.
Dude, do you know how many people died as pilots in WW2?
I can assure you it's more than you think.

ha! what decade? you ment to say what century right?

well in that case i would have to say the 16th century

I'd have to say the 1960s, a very interesting decade :)

1680s, 1780s, 1880s, those were all important decades of outstanding development in philosophy/humanities, political systems, and industrialization, respectively.

I thought the 1980's were pretty radical.

Ben Gibbard: So belongs in the 50's with me.

Poll to come.
'40's for a thousand, please. Nothing beats a SECOND War to End All Wars.
I've got two for the suggested decade:
Becca Savio: '20's or '30's
Caitlin Flebbe: '50's, definitely fifties

ha! what decade? you ment to say what century right?

well in that case i would have to say the 16th century
In that case, I choose the first century BCE, just to see Rome's transition into an Empire. That and I think I'd like commanding Legions.

I belong in the 60's with all the hippies and the great music, the free love and pot all around... I sometimes wish so bad I was born in 55!

"You make me sad. Come, Patsy."

Either the '60s or the '70s.

Obviously I belong in the 1890's so I just voted 1910's to get closest.

1890's. But I'll take the 1900's as well. 1910's are slightly off-putting, what with the war and all...

Got to be the 1990s, well on the cusp of 2000. i still feel much as i did when i was 24/25. sigh. seems like a long time ago.

The Dark Ages. This century is too soft for me.

60's...90's...60's...90's...

Hippies....grunge....hippies...grunge...

Punk, 70s/80s. Hmmm.

Gah :(

1990s. How fun.

1990s. How fun.
This is sorta off-topic, but for some reason your signature really bothers me. On so many levels. :(

Early 70s when albums had 2 sides and 3 tracks.

I voted 80s (big hair, metal, fun.) But it was a tough choice. The 60's (pot, free love), 70's (metal, punk, disco :p)and 90's (grunge) all came close.

This is sorta off-topic, but for some reason your signature really bothers me. On so many levels. :(
Then mine must really bother you! Mwahahahahahahaha! :D

Then mine must really bother you! Mwahahahahahahaha! :D
No, it's more the "nothing else" thing.

I told you before that I think you focus too much on those few years of your life, and not enough on the rest, but at least I feel you would consider yourself a little too multidimensional to say you're nothing but some artificial construct associated with a flag.

1950s, preferably the early 1950s.

That way I can sell people out to the government by saying they are commies. :P Plus, living in an age where nuclear oblitheration is at hand at any moment, is awesome.

Hmm. I think I understand. You have to keep in mind that those "few years" of my life were intense in the extreme and life-changing. I'm still discovering ways in which Vietnam ( and the years after ) changed me. Interesting viewpoint.

And I suspect that the "nothing else" was intended to indicate "no other term," rather than an "artificial construct associated with a flag."

I voted 1980's but really i want 1640's

The 2050's.

The next one, of course.
That way I'll live forever!! FOREVER!! Ah ha ha ha ha....

I picked the '90s, though I would have liked to have been born about 10 years earlier. I missed most of the best bands in their heyday. :(

Late 70's/early 80's. Anything earlier is too old, anything later is to new.

*Dam I sound like an old fart*
There ya go, I'm right there with you, "old fart" *says old fart #2* :D

I picked the '90s, though I would have liked to have been born about 10 years earlier. I missed most of the best bands in their heyday. :(

Yep. So many 90's bands I would have loved to see, yet they were long gone before I started listening to them. :(

There ya go, I'm right there with you, "old fart" *says old fart #2* :D
What's that make me? The "oldest fart?" :eek:

The Dark Ages. This century is too soft for me.
That's why I said the turn of the era.

What's that make me? The "oldest fart?" :eek:
You got it.:D

You got it.:D

I was thinking "proto-fart", or maybe "primordial fart".

I was thinking "proto-fart", or maybe "primordial fart".

Whatever. Us old farts gotta stick together.

On topic: any one but this one.:(

I was thinking "proto-fart", or maybe "primordial fart".
Go with "primordial." It makes you sound ancient AND important.

I think I belogn in the 60's, alongside all the other violent radicals.

I voted the '80s, because I really enjoyed the '80s.

That said, if I'm going to pick a decade without the internet, I could well have picked the '20s. Lots of good debauchery in the '20s.

I know what you're thinking. If I want debauchery, why not the '60s? Answer: I like well-groomed people.

Dude, do you know how many people died as pilots in WW2?
I can assure you it's more than you think.

Somewhere, you've gotten the notion that I fear death. I assure you that that is not the case - not at all. I'd rather live one hour in a torrent of excitement than live 80 years of sheer boredom.

Considering my favorite cars are old Vettes, Stangs, Mopars, etc. and my favorite song are All Along the Watchtower, Fortunate Son, 1969, Gimme Shelter, etc.

The 60s.

40s-60s so i get to fight in WWII ,Korea and finally Malaya or 10's just so I can be Pilot in the Great War

I belong in the next several decades, at least until I can master Time Control like my Yeti forebears.

I belong in the next several decades, at least until I can master Time Control like my Yeti forebears.
You can't. I've already travelled to the present and built safeguards into the only time machine I let exist from my travels to the past that prevent anyone not genetically linked to me to use it.

I am quite content in the current decade. If I did go back to the seventies or eighties, I might run into my parents and mess up the whole timeline (I mean, Back To The Future people, come on!). Besides, I know what my parents were like at my age. I am a little curious to see what my grandparents were like at my age, but I would not want to stick around then. Unlike many previous posters, I am not attracted to times of war at all.

Anything pre 1950s would be death to me, as I rely on a medication not widespread until then.

So yeah, I am really happy in the 2000s. I look forward to exploring the next few decades as well.

But the homo sapien gene pool is rather varied. Only those of my patriarchal lineage would have the capacity to utlize my machine. Too bad really. I'd prefer a daughter: they aren't so unruly.:p

I wonder why only 1 person choose the 30s?

It is not all that varied... But I suppose it is enough for your purposes. The male genetic tag thing might be particularly useful. Still, does it not worry you that now your male relatives are targets for people who want to knock them off to obtain the necessary biomass to steal your time machine?

All of them.

1910 - okay except this one
1920 - The Great Gatsby, I mean come on, big expensive parties every night of the week
1930 - The whole mafia deal, tommy guns, all that jazz
1940 - Already said but WWII fighter pilot thing
1950, 1960 - I could see myself being some pinball grease kid with an old T-body hot rod doing speed runs on some old country road
1970 - Afro and a Camaro is all I'd need
1980 - Get rid of the Afro, grow some long hair and join a metal band, upgrade to an IROC-Z
1990 - The whole shiny pants, glow-stick era seems so close yet so far away

I belong in the 50s.

30s everybody says i have a 30s gangster aura.

the 1950s. The cult of domesticity = win.

30s everybody says i have a 30s gangster aura.
well...but the depression and everything, oh well, your choice.

60's, all the good punk in the decades following, and the amusing hippies.

The 30's... 330's BCE to be precise, in Athens when Aristotle founded the Lyceum. Living at the height of Hellenism would be amazing, as long as I wasn't a slave anyway. :p

I wonder why only 1 person choose the 30s?
Dunno. It was a great decade, apart from the DEPRESSION and all.

It is not all that varied... But I suppose it is enough for your purposes. The male genetic tag thing might be particularly useful. Still, does it not worry you that now your male relatives are targets for people who want to knock them off to obtain the necessary biomass to steal your time machine?
Having the genes simply isn't enough. It's actually a lengthy process, which is why I don't use it much anymore. You also have to be me to pass the personality tests. I'm not going to let one of the little brats I haven't had yet get the opportunity to kill me to steal my time machine, or steal my time machine.

All of them.

Why do so many want to be WWII fighter pilots? Odds are, you wouldn't live very long and wouldn't enjoy it THAT much before you die. You'd have to survive to appreciate being a pilot.

350 b.c.
Very good year.

well...but the depression and everything, oh well, your choice.
Weren't you paying attention? Gangster qualities--he has gangster qualities. He'd be fine...or dead. At least he wouldn't be starving.

The 30's... 330's BCE to be precise, in Athens when Aristotle founded the Lyceum. Living at the height of Hellenism would be amazing, as long as I wasn't a slave anyway. :p
And the library at Alexandria. It was coming along rather nicely then. You could see it before any of the three major fires.
[edit: and damn you for mentioning Athens!]

The 1920s--
Jazz, blues, the Birth of the Gangster era before Cops had radios and wouldnt chase you past the county line, there was no FBI to chase you down.

You could hustle bootleg whiskey.

But most important,

Everyone dressed like a million bucks if they didnt have a nickel in their pocket, Suit and Tie for the Guy and Dress for lady, yeah, that and the Great Gatsby, Hearing Fitzgerald reading Keats, the 1920s--pre-depression and post.

It wasnt calledthe roaring 20s for nothing, and no other Decade has received such a moniker.


As for being around in 330bc...that would be great, however since I dont speak the language...I would end a slave more then likely, if i was lucky, dead if I wasnt.

How could slavery be better than death? Unless you were a gladiator, that is. I'd take death first anyway. You know the saying by Otto Wels, "You can take our lives and our freedom, but you cannot take our honor." The lingual technique is called immersion. Live in a small village for a year or two and you should know the language passably, especially if you take trips to a larger city after the first few months. People there didn't always speak the same language.

Give me the sixties over the decade I was born in any day (80´s).

Though I must´ve romanticised the sixties, such a decade of turmoil, great music, counter-culture, love, psychonauts, protest and energy of which we will probably never see the likes again.

Every decade has its attractions and downsides, but I ´ll side with the hippies on this (asking to be flamed :p probably)

70s. All because I love feathered hair. Oh Farrah Fawcett! Oh Jenny Agutter!

Fuck it makes me horny just thinking about the 70's.

You make me sad.

I put 80's so I could buy up Micersoft stack and be rich now.

70's for the fashion, and the fact that women were no longer tied to the home but weren't yet wearing powersuits (i.e. living to work, rather than working to live).

You make me sad.

Come Patsy! :p

hehehe :D

80's. It's where I belong.

I would have been such a hippie.

Oooo, good choice, good choice. Now I have to revise my earlier statement and say "eternity." I simply refuse to be contained to one finite realm of existence.

I suppose one infinite temporal realm qualifies as not being one finite realm of existence, though I would be inclined to go for multiple infinite temporal realms, preferably cascading realms. I've always thought that would be cool.

Atemporal realms would be interesting too, but they're not my style.

I belong in the next several decades, at least until I can master Time Control like my Yeti forebears.

I was right, you know. And still will be. You'll have seen. And who'll be the one to have smirked by that point? Hmm?

I actually belong back in the 1700 - 1800s ... my vocabulary includes words like 'ere' and I would just absolutely LOVE to have one of their dresses, with the corsets and the big pouf at the back and the boots that button all the way up to the knee and a little tiny umbrella to protect my fair skin and my hair up in amazingly complex curls piled on top of my head.

I don't know what decade in the 20th century I belong in. Maybe the 30s, where everybody smoked and the world was more liberal, or maybe in the 50s where mothers were expected to stay home and smile and let their man take care of them.

Ack, now I'm confused... am I really a medieval liberal conservative? My heads gonna explode now.

OK... Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, Green Day, Rush... LOL:D

The 80's, definitely.

the 2020's:p

1910's so I could be a proponent of International Socialism(no not stalin...im talking the happy good socialism...)

When would I want to live? Like, if I know everything I know now and am still the same age? Then probably 1930's Germany. Give me a chance to stop Mr. Fuhrer. Introduce the Kennedy syndrome to world leaders a few decades earlier. I might be able to stop a LOT of future daddies, present brothers, and various other loved ones from dying. Who knows what temporal time change...things...I might accidentally cause, but hey, I'll take the chance. I'm sure the visitors of concentration and death camps would agree with my risk-taking. ;)

Then again, I'd kinda like thsoe times just for the social structure: people were more respectable, kids didn't walk around with their rears showing, and there was actual discipline for unruly troublemakers.

On another note, who knows what I could do in THIS decade? :confused:

Yikes...scary thoughts, huh?

1910's so I could be a proponent of International Socialism(no not stalin...im talking the happy good socialism...)

Nothing stopping you from doing it now...

War is good, by the way. Well, conventional war anyway. It manages to balance the powers in the world and keep us focused on what's really important, "families, homes, good life." World War II would have happened anyway, and changing what did happen could have made things worse. The world could be Stalinist, worse even than the Nazi vision. The war could be longer, bloodier, and destroy any real notion of civilization. You, my friend, just destroyed the human race over sixty years ahead of schedule.

Except the tyranny of the majority....

Definitely this decade

Victory is mine!
Apparently not, as I'm still here to respond. You must've killed the wrong Yeti.:eek:

This isn't the decade you're looking for.

I think "These aren't the years you're looking for" would work better.

No, no, I killed the right Yeti...after he spawned his lineage but before the plans to his time machine could be hidden away for me to find.

"You can go about your business....Move along."

"Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, then you're on the planet that it's farthest from."

I'd be comfortable any decade from the sixties till today. There are different movements I think would've been awesome to be a part of (hippie counter-culture, glam rock, post-punk, early postmodernism), but I think I'm okay right where I'm at.

wow, I can't believe so many people picked the 80s!

it wasn't that great back then. Go back to the 60s, we had the hippies, the beatles, the space race, Kennedy, Vietnam, it must have been awsome! Too bad I wasn't there.
You still haven't shown what was so great about the 60's.

Must be the political repression and the social attempt at the same.

Late 1950's, Early 1960's.

If I hit 30 in '58 or '60, I would have been a happy man.
