Go back in time
Here's the question
[i]If you could go back to any era, place, time, etc. of human history, where would you choose to go? What would you do? Don't think in terms of "I'd go back and kill hitler" but rather imagine where you think you would belong in the past world of human history. Tell us why. [/i]
My pick? I'm going to stay right where I am, but go back a thousand years or so. Northwest Missouri, right along the Missouri River. I'd be a two weeks boat ride from the largest city in North America, present day St. Louis, and I'd work as an irrigation engineer, since it's kind of what I do now and I'm sure it would give me a high stand in society and be very helpful. I love this area, it's between the great planes, and ozarks, and with the Missouri River prior to dredging, a truly fertile land.
Most people think about Europe, or the Middle East, or even China, but I feel like staying in North America would be the best. They actually bathed apparently.
[b]Rule:[/b] Cannot go back any more recent than the Nineteenth century. So 1899 and before for you n00bz.
[b]Rule:[/b] Cannot kill hitler, be more creative than that.

3 RepliesI don't think America in the 1000's would appreciate your skills as an engineer. That's five hundred years before the Dark Ages and stuff.

1 ReplyIt would be neat to see how different the world was 100,000 years ago. Some people think we were still flinging poo at each other, others think we were an advanced species that bombed itself into the stone age. It would be interesting to find the truth.

3 RepliesI'd warn Custer about the Native Americans

1 ReplyGermany during the years 1933-1938 to experience the rise of Hitler. I'd love to see first hand how Hitler basically brainwashed the German people and I'd also attend the Nuremberg Rallies. It would be one hell of an experience I'd say.

1 ReplyI would travel to Boston, MA, then travel back to the year 1770 and apprentice myself to John Adams. Over the years, I would serve him as a body guard during the trial of the soldiers of the Boston Massacre, and accompany him to Philadelphia as a personal secretary. When he goes to Europe, I would stay behind to assist General Washington as the leader of an elite commando force that specializes in infiltration, assassination, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare (may even sneak in an invention of rifled barrels to my small force). After the war, I would take my commandos and form a military order dedicated to the protection of justice and liberty for all. Once the Constitution is ratified, we become the Guardians of Liberty. Advise Presidents Washington and Adams should they ask. My final act would probably be to present evidence that Hamilton willfully intended for the US to fight a war with both Spain and France to the utter ruin of the US and destroy his political network and career, thereby giving Adams a second term and try to mend the differences between Adams and Jefferson.

3 RepliesEdited by Kamots: 5/13/2017 8:53:02 PMSo...I assume you meant "a hundred years or so", right? 1017 Missouri is probably not the place you intended if you want to be near the "largest city" in NA.
