Do You Feel Like You're Living In The Wrong Century?

[All Seeing Eye]

I do.

I wish I lived in a time where there were much fewer people. A time where you could just pick anywhere you wanted and start to build your own house. A time where you could plant your own fields of crops or just walk through some trees picking fruit off them and eat at your leisure, a time where you traded things rather than buy things. A time where you did no need to worry about paying gas bills, or electric bills or rent or council tax.

Do You Feel Like You're Living In The Wrong Century?

Sometimes I long for simpler times too, but along with those simpler times you also have to take into consideration the consequences, such as shorter life spans due to health and medicine and hygiene issues.

I wish I were living in the future to be honest, so much great stuff is to come, too bad I'm gonna be dead for it all. I want to live in the 22nd century at least.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

I agree with that too actually. I'd love to see the future, 22nd and 23rd centuries but there's still a part of me wishing I was, as you put it, 'in simpler times'.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

With all the advances that are being made i'm living in just the right time.

 

[RandyS]

I wish I was living in the 20th century.

I HATE technology!

 

[tharpdevenport]

A time of Leprosy, The Plague, no penicillin, fewer medical drugs and proceedure options, minimum wage of 0.25 an hour ... go ahead -- enjoy you old days. Oh, and World Wars.

Do You Feel Like You're Living In The Wrong Century?

Yeah.

I'm told it's the 21st century but it still seems like the 20th to me.

I'd probably choose Britain in 410AD

 

[Ward Fowler]

I believe I'd choose to come of age right after the end of WWII here in America. The years 1946-1975 were the Golden Era for the average U.S. citizen. They were literally the most prosperous humans in the history of the planet. Jobs were plentiful, wages were high, pensions were common and standards of living were excellent.

 

[Supreme Admiral]

To be honest with you, I do feel like I'm living in the wrong century. I don't want this to go straight away to TNZ, but there are too much hate, wars, much more along down on the list!

I wish that I could live in the right centuries like 23rd century or 24th century! That's where we could live in the peace without having to fighting over nonsense! STUPID!

 

[Jayson]

I wish we could live in peaceful version of the present day. I kind of "Brady Bunch" version of the present day. Or something like you see in a show like "Eureka." A somewhat pleasent "present day" but you still have things like sex and tv,internet and you can still be human and not a stefford human, were your acting to perfect.

That's an all too popular misconception...that modern times are too complicated, that earlier eras were better/simpler/happier times. That's not true. Things were always fucked up.

If you were a white male, though, and did not get drafted into Vietnam.

I'm happy living in this time, right now.

So you could plant your crops and build a house anywhere you wanted, then get raped to death by Vikings for being too far from the local castle? Of course this assumes that you didn't die of an infected toenail or dysentery long before that.

Ahh, the bad old days. The past sucked man, that's why nobody lives there anymore.

 

[Kelthaz]

I do.

I wish I lived in a time where there were much fewer people. A time where you could just pick anywhere you wanted and start to build your own house. A time where you could plant your own fields of crops or just walk through some trees picking fruit off them and eat at your leisure, a time where you traded things rather than buy things. A time where you did no need to worry about paying gas bills, or electric bills or rent or council tax.

Right, instead you can worry about constant wars, plagues, famines, severe inequality, poor/no health care, high crime, no AC/Heat, extremely long and hard work, no time for hobbies, rampant racism/sexism, illiteracy, and little money. You also have to pray to god that you can get enough food each year to survive the winter because there's no food bank that will help you. And if you get really lucky you can live until the ripe old age of 35.

Personally, I'll take the early 21st century over any time in history. Although I'd much rather be living a century or two in the future.

Things don't seem that much different given those criteria. I'd certainly appreciate some adequate/available health care in this country for a start.

Yeah, because war and hate will be gone then.

Star Trek is not real life.

 

[Kestra]

Perhaps I'd fit in better some century in our future. I certainly would not have lasted long in the past.

In the time of the hobo.....

 

[judge alba]

not sure about the wrong century but i feel this one isnt all it's cracked up to be at the moment. i think the end of the last century was better but then that is looking back with rose tinted glasses. it was probaly just as crappy but time just glosses over the crap bits.
