Which time period would you live in, and what would you be doing in this time? No saying today or the future

being some outlaw in the 1800's is like my dream, so that.
otherwise ancient rome, greece, egypt, etc.. something like that would be badass.
also being an american fighting in or involved in the revolution would be cool.

It would be in the Egyptian times because they worshipped women simply because they are women. Like all men should =)

go chill with genghis khan, give him napalm or some shit, and help him destroy people. It'd be soo fun to run around with a battle axe and just slice people up.

or I'd go back to when newton was around and bitch smack him for creating calculus...

Certainly ancient greece, it would be crazy. Maybe even go back to Mesopotamia just to see what the worlds very first civilization was like.

None, because medical technology was awful and if you got hurt it was painful as HELL and you had a good chance of dying.

Time out. You can live in any time period for 5 years and you guys only want to go back about 40 years? Fuck that. Send me back with the Romans, Greeks, or Egyptians. Or even the Mayans or one of the early Chinese Dynasties. It's only five years. Live a little bit. And I agree with seeing what really went down during 'jesus' time too.

the only problem with going back too far is that if you were to contract some sort of illness in that time, you'd probably die. same with going back to times of war and shit. i don't think i'd want to spend 5 years in a time that couldn't guarantee my safety for those 5 years..
