What's your sparkly goldern era? You know, the one you wished you lived in, the one that gives you a hard on.

Do you love fudal Japan full of Samuri and sneaky ninjas?
The days when the Norse ruled and conqured with their viking warriors?
A knights and dragon guy or are you just in it for the pirates?

Me personally, I love 20's noir. You know, the days in LA when movies were glamouris, crime ruled the streets and the probation period was rooted by corrupted cops and shady deals. Ah yes, what life would have been like then for a private eye or some tommy gun wielding mobster. Of course you had the great depression as well, but we don't talk about that.

Well assuming you can't do now (2000's)
Defiantly 60's Canada because maybe there was a cold war but you were too high to care and there's no Draft to worry about.

EDIT: Not to mention the Leafs last cup.

The 80's man, time of rock :)

I guess you can say now, or future if basing it off a book or movie. I mean robots are cool.

Then defiantly now (2000-2010) then any thing before has low tech/health care anything after will have crippling gas prices.

Plus it has the internet and Xbox360s.

There was internet in the 90s (and ARPANET earlier) but no Halo *tear*

Definitely Vikings. Going out on crusades, fighting and drinking from horns of my killed prey in the evening. I especially like the idea of Valhall too.

roman times, around the transition from republic to empire.

Ultimate thing would be to be born at around 0010 and live to around 0090. The early church was an orgnisation who's awesomeness knew no limits.

All the "ages" I've ever wanted to live in have usually been fictional/ haven't become real yet.

Cyberpunk, Steampunk, or Whatever you would call that age where you leave home one day and fight monsters in random encounters.
Actually, all three at once. That would be sweet.

Just NOT THE SAME AGE AS IN THE BOOK 1984. I would go on an insane murderous rampage.

The 30-60's, even lead was good for you back then.
Or,

Midle ages- Reonsounce.

Because it tout me to spell nicely.

hmmm, ether the Edwardian time because the fashion was simply exquisite or the 1980's preferably the owner of some little exclusive alternative pub in Camden market (London that is)

Ancient Greece. The world's best architecture, the birth of democracy and philosophy, rapetastic gods... what's not to love?

j-e-f-f-e-r-s:

I would love to discuss the Shadow Cave theory with Plato yes...and learning ancient greek would be cool, first edition bible ftw!

Yeah especially if you like to be ruled by boy-lovers.

As a technophile, I'd have to say the singularity, although it hasn't happened yet (and may never).

If we can't pick the far future, I'd say now because now is the most technologically advanced we've ever been.

fun until the AI goes all Skynet and we all get massacred

Late 70s to early 80s so i could experience the real sub culture movements and cultural rebelions not the emo stuff we have today. Plus Joy Division, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Sex Pistols, The Clash.

Around 25-30000 years ago when the worlds population of
homo sapiens was about 2 million (as far as we know)
no pollution no tv just an existance where you rely
on yourself and not your dead end job for everything.
Yes I am anti-social and yes there are too many of us

Imperial Germany. The period from the Wars of German Unification up to World War One.
Also the Colonial British Empire anytime in the 19th century.

I really enjoyed the Aztecs, though the Egiatians where cool too. and i have to say being a down and out in Vicoria England really sucked.

Now seems pretty good to me.

Good music, good food, good bikes, little disease and peace in Western Europe, something that doesn't seem to come along very often historically.

Of course the old bugbares of mass poverty, hunger, civil war etc are present, but they never really go away.

The earlyer year of the roman empire, when the world was nothing but a place of sin and pleasure. Yes there was slavery btu the world was more tolerant on other aspects.

How about being part of one of the great warring clans of highland Scotland, charging down the cliffs with your claymore/musket ready, blasting those damned Englanders back to hell.

There are few things more badass then going into a pitched battle with nought but yur bagpipes and a tartan piece of wool around your tallywacker.

That, or the dawn of man. I want to know how a bunch of apes throwing pooh around, suddenly got sentient. I understand it may have taken a very long time, but I want to visit the point where the first monkey said why? I think it would be cool. Plus there's always neanderthals to look at!

Somethingironic:

I fail to see how that is a plus.

Cause you can look at them and go:

"Yep, we definitely kicked their asses."

And besides, they just look so gosh darn funny.

A jungle planet, populated by dinosaurs.

Give me a knife and I'm a god.

I'm gonna be odd and say the 70's.

It was so much easier when you KNEW that every looked stupid.

I'd say right now, plus a few years back, is a golden age for music, gaming and films, possibly comedy too.

However, it's a completely black era for pretty much everything else :(

The 21st century - is when it all changes ;)

Any ol' Post-Modern life would be awesome. A world in which comminucation and information are seamless, filled with people who know the cliché's of life but accept it.

For how implausible this is, just know that any utopia given here would be implausible :)

I am just curious, how would seamless comminucation and information improve the world? Would people really be happier for it?

69-90. the golden age of theatrical and hard rock

I like America post-Depression. You still have all of the noir detective stuff, but you're rid of the female flapper phase, lol. I like the old-fashioned hairstyles (mid-length, perfect barrel curls, side-part).

I'm also a big nerdy fan of ancient Greece or Rome. To have lived in the time of greats.
