    kind wish i was born more in the future

  4. That was a hard life man. Little sleep, always outside, riding horses all day just to cover a few dozen miles, constantly being chased by not only marshalls, but bounty hunters as well.....

    Red Dead Redemption is my favorite game of all time, and I am a HC gamer, but while it is fun to play, it doesn't look fun to actually live it.
     
  5. Woulda loved to live through the hippy revolution
     
  6. Yes I totally was born in the wrong time!

    I wish I had been born in either 1950 or 1960 so I could experience either the 70's as a young adult or the 80's as a young adult.

  8. Born in 1960's for me. I would have enjoyed the 80s and 90s.
    Or the 1930s. People didn't act like dicks in public that day and age.
     
  9. Ya wanna live in the hippy revolution dude? Check out fuckforforest they got it down packed.

    I said do you speak my language, he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich. I come from the land down under.
     
  10. I'm a Medieval dude.
     
    I can see myself now with a massive beard, long hair, walking round with an axe in my hands takin' names, fucking that Medieval pussy. Game of Thrones style, hard-man with loads of hot sluts around him. That'd be me. A fucking warrior.
     
  11. I feel I was born in the wrong universe.
    There is a definite lack of dragons, mermaids and devil fruits in this universe. 
     
  12.  
    My pet dragon disagrees with you. :cool:

    Ah, wish I could wish to live past the 30's, but sadly for my country, we were annexed by an oppressive iron fist communist dictatorship regime under the history's worst dictator that deported to gulags everyone who had any nationalist ideas and tried to assimilate the local populace into its completely different culture that now haunts this country even in the modern times due to the large eastern minority that, for example, has been used as a pretext for invasion elsewhere in this continent recently and makes the locals and the military alliance we're in worried because we could be the next target, being the most unstable neighbour (and with the largest minority of those people, actually the unstability caused by those aforementioned minorities) of this large nation that is the product of that evil communist regime, with this evil nation already ironically meddling in our internal affairs and blaming us for civil rights [against the minority, which a few years ago tried to make their language a second official one here] breaches that are commonplace in the country blaming us. Oh well.
     
    You have 3 chances to guess the evil neighbour and the stability-destroying minority. Haha.
     
    :(
     
  14. Wasn't star wars in the past?

    Would've been , nice to be born around 1960. Teen in the 70s, young adult in the 80s. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. :metal:
     
  15. Im good I was the perfect age for the 90s and early 00s and had way too much fun
     
  16. Ya but on the other hand robing trains, holding up banks, and living off the land....you can't tell me that dose not sound fun :p

    Just remember, usually the reality does not live up to your fantasy!  :cool:
     
    No indoor plumbing or toilet paper.
     
    No daily bathing or deodorants.
     
    No safe water.
     
    No refrigeration.
     
    No antibiotics.
     
    No forced air heating or cooling.
     
    I can go on and on!
     
     
     
    The "born after 1940s" fantasies are more survivable, but as someone who was there, it wasn't all Love-ins and fun and games!
     
    You guys bitch about the laws now? :laughing:     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Leary
     
    On December 26, 1968, Leary was arrested again, in Laguna Beach, California, this time for the possession of two marijuana "roaches". Leary alleged they were planted by the arresting officer but was convicted anyway.....On January 21, 1970, Leary received a 10-year sentence for his 1968 offense, with a further 10 added later while in custody for a prior arrest in 1965, for a total of 20 years to be served consecutively.
     
    2 roaches = TWENTY YEARS in 1970! :eek:  You could get LIFE for cannabis in several states!
     
    When you rolled a joint back then, you made sure that you got every bit of green off of the table! Cops could, and would arrest you for an "unsmokable amount"! This is also why roaches were always eaten!
     
    Civil rights? Cops were still beating heads, setting dogs on peaceful protestors, and getting confessions in back rooms! I can remember the "No Blacks" signs on restrooms, drinking fountains and in diners! :eek:
     
    The Cold War was still chugging along with its threat of nuclear war. Cuban Missile Crisis, and all that!  We had those useless "Duck and cover" drills - San Diego was a target- we were all dead if the "Reds dropped the bomb"!
     
    "Operation Intercept" got a bunch of kids addicted to pills, but I'm not going into all the hell that caused because of the GC rules. Let's just say there were too many funerals.
     
    The love-ins/concerts in the parks were fun. But they had speed freaks begging for change, cops with binoculars watching us, and we left a LOT of trash in the parks. Bonnie (owner of a "rival" head shop), me and some of the Warlock Shop crew would pick up the worst of it, but most of the kids didn't give a dang about the litter.
     
     
    That's just a taste of the reality of the 60-80s! We have a LOT going on for us right now! Legalization is just around the corner! :yay: Don't bemoan not living in the past, CREATE the future you will enjoy!  Become an activist!

  19. You should watch Midnight in Paris. Its a great movie: you'd like it.

    I the name and the movie poster (and the first 10 mins) kind of make it look like a boring romantic movie, but it's not. Its awesome.
     
  20. I kinda wish I was born in the 70s...(Peace n love)......just seemed more laid back and everybody would be outside enjoying themselves.....havin fun w/out all the media pollution n TV/video games people play now.
     
    Almost seems like it was the way we were supposed to live.....jus being outside w friends.
