Where or when should you have been born and why?

I should have been born in england because they get to wear awesome outlandish fancy hats.

I wish I was born a few years earlier than I was, I couldn't comment on where though.

I should have been born in the Rocky Mountains. Because it's the part of the world I most want to explore, and then I wouldn't have far to travel to get there.

I should've been born in Norway or the Basque Country, because they're awesome. :D Or Ireland or Scotland.

I should have been born in the Mid 40s, so that I would have been able to enjoy the 60s to the fullest.

I should have been born in the mid 20's, and without the hormone of a tree. And of course without AS.

So you really think we'll be living on other planets in the future?

Huh??? What is the hormone of a tree?

The mid 20's might be too boring for me though.

But would you have really enjoyed it? You would have been drugged out the entire time.

Why are they awesome?

that may or may not have been fun, because it literally depends on what exact year you are talking about

I should have been born outside the UK, I'm most likely to live either a more peaceful life and live in a world where I could just simply relate to a lot of people.

Pff, why wouldn't they be? Well, I love Basque culture, and I'm part Norwegian, Scottish, and Irish, and like those countries and languages very much. ;)

What does PFF mean?
That's fine for you, I was just asking why to liked those places. I wasn't trying to put them down. To each his own.

It was an inside joke...among myself. I'm really tall for my age.

Well, if you were born in the mid twenties, you wouldn't remember much cause you would be a baby. :wink: Of course you'd suffer through the Great Depression, but my idea was I'd get to fly some awesome planes in World War Two and after that raise a family before the hippie revolution screws up my life. (no offense to hippies).

Absolutely. Its a natural stage of evolution, and is the only way we can ensure the security of our genetic destiny- keeping all our eggs in one basket (Earth) will inevitably result in our extinction

Hhahaha, wait. I shouldn't be laughing. It an inside joke.....with yourself. How tall are you?

Ha. Ha. Ha. Jk, but that is a pretty good reason, aside from the depression thing. Plus it would be fun to be in the greatest economic boost after living through the worst economic struggles in the country.

So you don't believe in a religion I take it....? Not to offend you, but I think and feel that there will be a 2nd coming and the earth will be cleansed and made into the celestial kingdom. Your prospect is that we will move onto the planets into the solar system? What if we don't forward science along fast enough and we become extinct on those planets anyways? Or what if we end up killing everyone ourselves in the end?

I'm an Atheist yes. But there are many Christians who also think about the future in this way (along with other religions). I think of it as our evolutionary objective & destiny to spread biology and ourselves throughout the universe. As a Christian, one could see it as spreading God's creation to places that haven't yet been blessed with it. Or maybe, the idea of terraforming worlds and creating ecology where there was none will become an entirely new religion itself
Its better to try and spread ourselves than to just die out in one place and go the way of the Dinosaurs. And living on just one planet makes it all the more likely that we can all die out- but if we are spread, then we can always endure
