Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I think I'd do ok.. I got some basic survival skills ^_^

I don't think you wouldn't be able to cope, because you wouldn't know any better, and it's the environment you would've grown up in, you would have learned to cope with it.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

We'd all do fine actually. Mainly because we'd all be surrounded besides disipline adults and stuff. And besides, in the past you couldn't miss tv and good food, cause you never had them.

Well that's what I think.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

yea but what if you knew you had lived in the future before?
you would miss all the stuff you had then.
if you didnt know that you have lived in the future before, it wouldnt be any problem because you had never had all that stuff before

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

HMM?? well depends. Do you mean live in teh past with these present memories. If so then No I would not, In those times you had to work for everything, War didn't help either. But if I didn't ha these memories....I still wouldn't survive. Death was always a round teh corner for people only if you had a rich family.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I've always been told tha I belong in the past! So i think that I could survive, even though I'd miss some stuff.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I think everyone would do ok. If you think about it none of us would know about anything in the future so we wouldn't care about it. We'd live with what we know about, and wouldn't care about things that don't yet exist.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

Hmm. Only if the year were 1924, I were six inches taller, and I had a bob haircut and my own show at a local theatre

EDiT: Why do people keep talking about survival skills? People didn't, like, live in the woods then. They had houses and cars and radios and plumbing. And plenty good food. Death wasn't 'always around the corner'. Where were you people in History class?

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I think I'd be fine, for the most part. Plus, imagine how easy school would be, considering what we've learned in like, fifth grade is high-school junk back then. And college would be pretty cheap too. O_o

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I wouldn't know what i was mssing out on from 'the future' life would be life it wouldn't make any difference, as stated. The only fears would be from diseases that were not yet cured and even then it all depends on your social status and where you live.

Everyone would be fine if they had been born then, even though it is completely impossible that they could have been.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

In all reality, If we all lived back then, wed be asking the same thing about the mid-1800's. Life back then was peak, and you wouldnt even have a clue of the conveniences of today. Basically what ZF has said.
ME, Id like to live maybe not in the time, but in a house like it. On my road trips, Ive seen the little houses on acres of farmland, and I think it would be so nice to live near just close family and freinds. Away from.........people. I hate city life.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

Depends. But, I would have done pretty well between 1914 and 1918, of course if I had anything to do with it... well, you'd all still be living under my empire and it would have been over a few years earlier.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

I'd probably be able to cope in the past, though I would miss the forums. I would take me a long time to get used to it if I were suddenly thrust from the present and straight into the past. I'd want to go back to the present because that's where I grew up, ut if I was born in the past, then it would be a diffeent matter.

Re: How do you think you would of faired in The Past?

If I had all the personalities and tendencies that I do now but in the past, I probably wouldn't make it. Im to lazy. Although I guess I probably wouldn't be if I had to do work-like stuffs back then. Hmm...

Meh. I've lived for long periods in places where you literally had to hunt/fish for your
