Are you glad that you were born in the 20th century?

seeing as I can't see into the future to see how horrible/amazing it will be, yes

I wish I were born in the 25th century .... when wearing spandex is not a big deal

Very much like the tc,except I'm from '93,and I'm glad I wasn't born 5 years ahead.that's the darkest year in my life,which is the Great Riot of 1998

I wear black spandex all the time. Well, in school i wear super mega tight skinny jeans(tightest, tighter than girls) and so far all the guys loves it. So, no big deal in Europe. Not sure about USA.

Yes, very much so. Feels like I have a lot more to be proud of than anyone born in the 21st century.

This explains a lot. You should have mentioned this before.

No; I wish I was born 2014 years earlier as the son of god. Missed my chance on that.

Yes, cuz we had such a great childhood ! seriously u look at the childhood in this period , everything is about electronic entertainments , every child is holding a tablet or sth ...

<3 , man .....now i wish was born in another period of history!

@gamerguru100 Sorry for fight clubbing your thread.

well, I'm gonna be pissed if they develop the medicine for living forever while I'm on my deathbed

Dude I regret being born altogether.It was my biggest mistake !

Have to take advantage because people do discreetly

If they come up with a way of living forever I'm declining it!

That's too bad, I mean I don't mean something that'll curse you to live forever, like no matter what you'll always live forever, like you get super magical powers and such, just simple genetic alterations to the body that prevent cellular degeneration and aging. I mean if you're lucky you'll just die in an accident when you're 150 or whatever, or you can live as long as you want and just sleep on the train tracks when you get tired of it. You can live to see a better future for humanity, and maybe contribute to it longer.

@lamprey263: I'm ok with living to my 80's or 90's...if I haven't done everything I want to do by then (I'm 29 and I'm already pretty close), adding another 100 years to it won't accomplish much.

Well I wouldn't want to grow up in past centuries. And I was around when some amazing movies and video games came out. On the other hand, if I was born in a later century I would witness amazing discoveries of the human race and maybe space travel, not to mention that expecting lifespan would be even longer.

Yes.

Yes and no. If i was born earlier I wouldn't have as much freedom as I do now. But if I was born later I'd be able to enjoy better technology.

Yes, I'm just happy I was born (early 90s) during the time that the sun has not expanded enough to destroy the Earth at this particular moment.

I'm quite proud that I was born around August 1992 and got to experience the 90's decade that it has offer prior to growing up in the 2000's and early 2010's.

No i wish i was born in the 30th century

Agreed, although having a lifespan of a few hundred years would work. Think of how many things you could master in that time! The whole "10,000 hours" bit would be that much more doable. lol

well, genetically enhanced longevity could allow for better quality of life up until that 100 year mark... where when you're tired you can just electively step in front of a bus, but you won't have to endure all the physical unpleasantness of growing old

@lamprey263: Hopefully assisted dying would be an option too. "Live forever until you're sick of it, then you're more than welcome to slice your wrists, electrocute yourself or jump off a building" doesn't sound like a good marketing pitch XD

Prolonged youth I could go for, live well, young and healthy until I'm 90 sounds good...live to be 300+, not so much =)

No apology necessary. :P This place is deader than dead, so someone simply posting in the thread is at least acknowledging its existence. :P

Fucking hypocrite. preaching freedom while leading a cult, which the members lacked any kind of individuality.

Brilliant movie/book, but way too many people see it in the wrong way. Tyler is not a rational/smart entity.

It ain't about hypocrisy ! depends on your definition of "Rational/Smart" ! this is not the place to debate about it but put more thought in it ....or create a topic

Preaching freedom? How so?

I feel so grateful for my situation I can't even begin to say. I'm also very lucky because I have a health problem, that had I been born much sooner, it would've meant death for me already years ago.

I was born in the 34th century, I came here to say hi and to get Scarlett Johanssons DNA so we could have clones of her back in the 34th century.

Hell YEAH! I mean just in terms of Pokemon and Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon. Hell Dexter's Lab alone was the first step in me loving science and the universe, basically what has led to me going to University to do Chemistry now because I loved it so much all those years ago.

We emerged into the PS1 days, the boom of mobile phones, and pretty much ever technology we take for granted now.

If I was born even one year either side (1992 same as you) my life could have been SO much different.

Yep, I'm in a similar boat. Without modern medicine I would've died when I was 12. With modern medicine it ended up being manageable and now I can live a mostly-normal life. So yeah, I'm glad I was born when I was.

Yeah, I guess. I'm straight white male though so if you put me in any time period it would be pretty good.

Mind sharing?

Well, not just any time period. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the concept of race, at least as a social construct, didn't really kick start until European colonization began in the 1500s and 1600s. Before, you were categorized based on your status in society and your language. You could have been born in England in the 1200s and lived as a peasant, and chances are if you were living in 1200s England, you were a peasant kissing some monarch's ass. Being a born white male wouldn't have made a speck of a difference then.

It would require changes in the genome in your stem cells... So a rather unpleasant treatment to get I think.

beats the hell out of the 10th century, that's for sure

Not really. I am cool with it but I probably would have done better in some other time periods, But I am not complaining either. take advantage of what you got.

yes I'm glad I was born in 1971

Well, I don't have many options in wishing I was born in the past. I'd end up in a even worse hell going back there life wise considering I'm "Black". I think I was born in the right time (1989), I just didn't take advantage of the many opportunities that showed up from time to time like I should've. Probably would have helped me feel less in hell than I do right now...

I'm happy to have been born in the 70's. The 80's had some great TV!!

Same. Plus, nothing beats coming of age in the early to mid 90's. Was such a great time to be too young to care and old enough to party!

Yup, had some very good times in the early 90's " if ya know what I'm saying ".

Then met my wife in 94

No particularly no. I don't think being born in the 20th century worked out all that well for me after all. Quite the opposite actually.
