If you had a choice of when to be born when would it be?

I have a few I imagine I would at least like to experience (as long as I could Michael J Fox back to the Future of course if it got a lil rough)

Middle Ages in England
Height of the Roman Empire (Rome or Venice)
Dawn of civilisation (keep the engine runnin Doc!)

Great thread!

I want to see the Pyramids in Egypt being built.
I've done quite a bit of genealogy work in the past, so I want to go back to the farthest person that I have been able to trace, and ask them who their parents, grandparents, etc were!
And go back and look up Hitler before the Holocaust and have a chat with him.

yea that would be a good era for me too, just make sure you aren't investigating inside the pyramids when they are sealed!

If you got the chance to meet Hitler would you try and kill him?

I don't think I could kill him, but definately kidnap him and lock him away or something...

but what happened if he escaped
thats a big risk to take for him to follow the path he did..

But if I killed him, that would make me just as wrong as him, only on a smaller scale.

well you are in a difficult situation yes but..
say you are in that time with the knowledge of history you have now
and what happened
wouldnt it be a question of sacrificing yourself to save those he killed

I think it would be a difficult thing to o for a few reasons
one of course is sacrificing yourself..doesnt sound too tempting heh
and also by killing him could you actually make things worse?
