    		 I guess the 80s because of some great movies, TV shows, and the arcade and video games.

    i agree

    I'm glad somebody does. It's a scary feeling knowing that those millions of Jews were killed at those concentration camps. :(

    its absolutely horrible. i came across an article a few days back while looking up josef mengele for soeones else research paper,and it made me so irrate to find out that bastard went into hiding and wasnt seized and penalized for his actions until many a years later. its just horrible the things that the victims went through. :x

    not to go of subject either but i wouldnt want to be a person of ridicule in the medieval times and expierence the humilty of those horrible punishments either.

    It wasn't just Jews many Polish, Romani, Yugoslavs, Soviets, the disabled, the mentally ill, Gays, Jehovah's Witnesses and more were also killed. No one really knows how many people died at the hands of Hitlers orders or how many would have died if Hitler wasn't stopped. While Jews were the primary victims our history books tend to forget the rest.

    For me I would have liked to live during the early 20th century and be an adult by the early 20s. I would be dead by now and wouldn't have to worry where we are headed today.

    		 Yes, people tend to forget the thousands of other people killed off by the Nazi's. Hitler's own cousin, who was mentally ill, was sent to a 'mental clinic' in Vienna where she was sterlized, then experimented upon until she died.

    As for time periods, I would LOVE to live in 1950's Paris or 1960's St Tropez/Cannes. Just all that nice weather and fashion. Tres bien!

    		 The late 1970's. Nothing like Mullets, Camaros, AOR (Short for Album, Adult, or Arena Oriented Rock. Bands from that genre would include REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Journey, and Styx among other bands).
    The Atari 2600 also came out in the late 70's.

    Kind of screwed on this topic.

    Anywhere in the past means serious oppression to women and lack of new technology, and the future looks pretty bleak.

    I choose one of those 27 new dimensions that can now be scientifically proven


    Women had it easy in the past. They were treated like queens by most of the guys and in the 80s and 90s there was actually a double standard in the woman's favor. Women today are expected to be successful, strong and independent. Also men don't always make the first move anymore which is one reason why so many women are single.

    The main women that suffered in the past (pre 1970s) were those that went against the traditions. If you didn't marry early on and have kids you were branded as a spinster. If you married, cooked, cleaned, did the dishes and pleased your man you were fine. There always has been abusive husbands and even in the old days most men didn't abuse their wives. Yes women were oppressed, but overall had it pretty easy in those days compared to men that worked their whole lives doing hard labor and rarely living to see 50.

    		 I'd like to live in the mid 80s, and the entire 90s period if you ask me.
