Which decade would you choose? - Nubblies.net Forums

VOL · 08-31-2003, 02:25 PM

I'm curious to know which decade everyone would choose to visit if they had the opporutnity.

If I had the chance to visit a different decade for a little while.... I would visit the 50's . It seems to be a lot of fun and free spirited .. without all the hippie pot smoking that they did in the 60's. Plus it'd be real sweet to dress like Fonzy.

I'd have to go with the "hippie pot smoking" era myself. Almost everything in modern culture was put into question in the sixties. Music as we know it was changed forever, and some of the most influential political moments happened at the time. The sixties were the shit.

1940s, that is only if my death in WWII would not impact my current life, odds are I wouldn't live. Id just like to experience what it would be like to be in a world war. Ive always been interested in WWII particularily, and know quite a bit about the period. WWII first person shooters make great games, but I know that war isnt a game, so being able to visit during that period and being able to come back to present day would probably give me more respect for our soldiers and what they did.

1920's before the depression, everything was wonderful, flapper dresses were nice too, haha. Or the 80's simply because I loved 80's mod, and the post-punk synth music. (THANK YOU DEPECHE MODE<3 )

Titan · 08-31-2003, 10:53 PM

1970's. They had the best colour/decorative schemes ever. Everything was brown, orange and olive green. Fuckin' hell yeah. I'm talking about home-living by the way, not that disco shit.

Combat Chuck · 09-01-2003, 12:13 AM

Yeah, I would say pre-Depression, just like Constance. The styles were fuckin boss, and the partyin was like no other. True, there wasn't shit in the technology section of Wal-Mart back then, but still, it'd be a damn good time.

VOL · 09-01-2003, 12:18 AM

Do ya guys think the 50's were really like the movie Grease?

Combat Chuck · 09-01-2003, 12:21 AM

Kind of. But it's always good to realize that life is never like the movies. Unless it's a Kevin Smith movie.....*cough*

VOL · 09-01-2003, 12:24 AM

Very true Combat Chuck.... I just wanted to believe that all women in that decade all looked like Olivia Newton-John.

Combat Chuck · 09-01-2003, 01:04 AM

You can believe all you want man....there's nothing wrong with fantasizing.

Kage · 09-01-2003, 01:31 AM

man i'd wanna visit the prehistoric ages, when there was neanderthals around, cause back then life was hard and i would damn sure like to know how people really survived

the_butcher · 09-01-2003, 02:08 AM

70's.

Hell yeh. Cool clothes, cool music and cool past times. Oh yeh, that's for me.

Either that or the 60's for the pure reason of I want to go to the original Woodstock.

Alpha · 09-01-2003, 01:36 PM

While I'd love to go to the 70's I would actually rather go to the 50's. Girls back then dressed so fucking sexy without having to show off everything at first. Hats on girls? Yes, please... No seriously... PLEASE.

Schroeder · 09-01-2003, 05:13 PM

The 60's, definitely. Either the 1960's or 1760's. I can't think of any other time when I could see so much change in America, or in pre-America.

Well Alpha and I agree on the 50s....... has that ever happened before?

Orgazmo · 09-02-2003, 03:37 AM

I'd visit the 3010's if given the chance. After my visit, I'd bring pimp shit back. Yeah, the 3010's.

Nope.

Well committ that agreement to memory.. it'll never happen again. We tend to not agree on anything.. almost like Schroeder and the butcher.

Hell yeah. Those are my 3 favorite colors, man.

and they did have those nice leisure suits in powder blue.

Ugly Bastard · 09-02-2003, 01:49 PM

If we were restricted to the past, I'd probably go check out the Civil War and shit in the 1860s for a little bit. Yeah...

But the best place to go would be the future. I think the 3010s might be a bit much. With all the advancements that would've taken place by then, I don't think any of us would be able to handle visiting a place like that if we were just thrown right into it. I'd probably say something more like the 2150s to see how long people are living by then.

Ugly Bastard.. you know we can't be sure how much we will advance in the 3000s.. in the earlier 20th century people thought that in the year 2000 we would've been in flying cars.

Combat Chuck · 09-02-2003, 02:31 PM

Yeah, well, we're fucking getting their alright? Keep your fucking pants on flyboy.

What is your fascination with my hate for Scrotum? How about you deal with your own battles and leave me to kick Schroeder's ass like always.

	you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking, and racing around to come up behind you again. the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death
