Getting to know each other: What era would you most liked to have lived in?

If you could choose any era, including this one, which one would you choose and why?

I would loved to have lived in the 1940s and 1950s. I love the family oriented frame that the world was in then. The world just seemed to be a happier and safer place then and kids were able to be kids and not be exposed to all manner of adult based themes and innuendos by just watching television or even picking up a newspaper. The government was respected and family values were the norm in that era.

What era would you choose?

1870s. After the Civil War, but still in the period when women were ladies and men were gentlemen.

The late 1800's

!860's and beyond, but, wouldn't stop there, I want to time travel to that era to meet my GGG grandfather.. I have so many letters from him to my GG grandparents.

Probably the 40's....I like pretty much everything about that era. Things just seemed pretty simple....and I love the fabrics and clothes, houses, etc....

My dear departed sister asked me that once. I told her I would live in no other time than now. In too many times and places (even today) women were treated like property at best. Way too much misogyny for me.

I would love to have been inthe 1880 - 90's. Out in the West.

I too would have like to be a pioneer. To settle this county would have been such an adventure! Or the 1880's when my great grandparents came here and settled in northern Wisconsin.
