If you could go back in time, what year would you visit? Why?

1984: to kill Sarah Connor

Joanne's answer:
I would go back to whatever year had the largest lottery prize and buy a ticket with the winning numbers! Why? So I could have more than -$600 in my checking account!!

And the other answers!

1. Since the year is strictly a visit...I would love to go back in the years of the 1800's. However I would NOT want to be poor. My visit would also have to be a person who is comfortable and in a castle with servants....Life was very tough for those who had nothing and I surely having read about them would NEVER want to be one of them. Being wealthy then, you would have a very interesting life. It was so pretty and the clothes were soooooooooo beautiful! So...oops excuse me...my buggy ride is awaiting...just leave your card and my courier will bring you my answer in the afternoon...about the "BALL". that is.

2. There are lots of years I'd like to visit:
1923 - in the middle of the time of the flapper, Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, bath tub gin to see what life was really like back then. I tend to be a romantic of that time
1930 - at the beginning of the depression to see life then as it was. Although my time in the Japaneese rice patties must have been close to it.
1948 - to visit the year I was born
1974 - the year I was in my first house with my first daughter it was a wonderful time
1976 - I was in my second house with two daughters now and I felt like I was in the middle of my universe.
Life since then has been a series of ups and downs - very high up and horribly down that I couldn't pick out just one year - a day here or there maybe but a whole year? maybe not.

3. 33 A.D. I'd try and catch the Sermon on the Mount. That would be sooo cool.

4. I will definitely go back to 1985, or any year between 1983 to 1987. I wanna experience the height of the whole 80s culture, and when new wave and one-hit wonders ruled the airwaves; when fashion was crazy, glamorous and colorful; when i was still a kid with the fanned bangs and a really high pony tail. :)

5. I would go back to anywhere between 2000-2005, when I had awesome friends in Riverside to hang out with. But wait, I would avoid going back to the year when we had to take quals. Back then, life seemed pretty busy with school and all back in Riverside, but when I started working, I realized that grad school was a piece of cake; And now that I'm so far away from those people I enjoyed hanging out with back in Riverside, I am deeply appreciative of the fact that it wouldn't have been a piece of cake if it weren't for great friends like you, JoJo!

6. I would like to JUST VISIT the Victorian age.....
