I personally would like to live in the 90s, because of cheap gas and the good times.

I agree, the 90's were a lot like today, but pretty much everything was cheaper.

I picked "RIGHT NOW" as I'm quite happy with the direction of things in my life and country.

You stopped one decade short. I'd want to go back to the 40s and punch Hitler in the face... :) Good times.

I say 70's life was good then but it give something to look forward to.

What country do you live in?

I'd settle for the Roaring Twenties.

Probably the 90s. I suppose the 60s would be fun, but there's the whole Vietnam thing (we had the draft here too).

The 60s. Great music, incredible cars, cheap gas and casual sex. Unfortunately Vietnam and the Cold War come with that lovely package.

The 80's for the heavy metal.

I'd like to relive the 1970s. A dramatic time to be Irish!

I would second that

My inner Hippy made me say 60's.

*Sits out on lawn with spliff listening to the doors*

I would second thatI have friend who rants on about the 20's, but he isn't specific, so all I really know is that he wants to live in 1920's Paris and have a beret. Enlighten me as to what the 20s were like.

The 90's were awful, sometimes I wish we could have just skipped them, even if that would mean I would only be eight now.

Also, I voted 70's, 'cos I've been watching a lot of 'That 70's Show' recently, and that show is g-o-o-d.

90's obviously. Pretty much the same technology but gasoline was cheaper.

I'd be able to tell people that yes, the Red Sox WOULD eventually win the World Series. :)

Yah, I have no clue why anyone picked the 90s. Well, I sort of do.
The first 7 years of the 90s were great. Just like the last 8 years of the 80s.
The two combined had to be the "most excellent" span of time the world has ever seen. (imho)

Today. I am an adult, I am doing well, I am pleased (Somewhat) with the way things are going........

70s. Music, no work I'm on strike, bell bottoms were still fashionable, need I go on?

The 80s sucked in Ireland. So 90s FTW.

The '80s were the best. I'm glad to have been born in '83.

Pretty much what I do now. DRINK only then it would have been cheaper

Anytime before the 80s, so that way you can have casual sex without having to wear a balloon on your penis, because of fricking HIV/AIDS

Amen to that. Bring back bareback sex!

Personally, I would prefer to be living in the Holy Roman Empire, as one of its elites. Maybe even the Habsburg Empire in 17 c. Since neither are on this poll, I'll have to say right now.

I have to live in a time that has toilet paper at least. A must really.

Now that you mention it, I could really go for going back to around 30 AD, see what this Jesus stuff is all about.

The Habsburg Empire had that by then. Or something akin to it, anyway. Not sure about the HRE.

There are several periods of time I'd like to go back to and visit - but with the knowlege I currently have.

I'd like to do the 1970's, when I was a child, so that i could enjoy much of that time period.

Part of me would really find it adventurous to visit the US in the Civil War era (1860-65 ish), but the lack of medicines would make it a dangerous venture.

I'd also like to visit WWII era Europe and the US.

I do know that, being a gay man, going backwards in time in any way shape or form would not make my life any easier (unless I visited some pre-christian cultures like Greece - but I can't speak Greek)

the 40s. I dont know why, I just would. Granted I wasnt alive then, but still.

The 70's, because I was much younger then and still had my health. Maybe I could change my current situation......

I'd settle for the Roaring Twenties.
Me as well. The 1920's, America...New York maybe?

Greece was actually a very masculine society. When men had sex with men, it was more because of a "look, I can make this guy suck my balls" kind of thing. It was all about dominance, not love and caring like it is today.

That's still hot :p...and most ancient Greeks were fair and blonde...hmm...maybe I'd like to pay them a visit. :)

Of course, there were romantic homosexual relationships back then, but like you said, the most of it was dominance.

Well, the guy I was quoting before this thought that they were romantic relationships, so I just felt compelled to enlighten him. I don't mean to insult you, but it must really suck to be gay.
