where would you go and in what time?
It's hard to think of things, even though there's basically everything that has ever happened to choose from. For one, I think it would be interesting to pitch a tent in New Mexico in 1947 and see with my own eyes what really happened there.

I'd go back 10 minutes to the time when I hadn't repeatedly stabbed my neighbour.

I'd go back to 1954 and live out my days when you could get cars for 3000$ and girls wore tight sweaters

DEFINITELY the 60s going into the 70s. That was a rad fuckin time. As long as you pulled out, condoms were useless, chicks were rebelling to awesome rock music and what guy today in their late 20s to 30 years old doesn't wish they experienced Woodstock? The music and laid back mushroom trippin era more than anything makes me wish I lived then. Even my parents who were 19 at Woodstock(a reason why I wish I was born in 1950 like them) said that going into 1970 it was such a peaceful time. I would LOVE to be 19 like they were and go back to 1969. Period

Woodstock would be cool. And an added bonus of cheap cars in the 50's would be that many of them were so cool.
I'd also like to go back to see the 1970 World cup final.

if you where born in 1950 you might have gone to Nam though, nobody wanted to go to that unless they volunteered to.

I don't have a proper answer to this. I suppose I could say something like "take lots of drugs and watch Captain Beefheart circa 1970", or be born a few years earlier and "take lots of drugs and hit the rave scene". I definitely wouldn't want to permanently go back in time though.
I'd be more interested in seeing the future.
Like, a billion years into the future. Just to see what we're up to.

going forward at least 1000 years would be neat everyone would either be building pyramids all over again or be super advanced.

That's a good point. In fact, my father's brother went to Nam and my father didn't because he did a physical to see if he was healthy enough and he happened to pull his back at the time. During the test they wanted him to jump and he couldn't because he was on compensation and probably just wasn't allowed to jump. So they told him they couldn't use him in Nam because he didn't pass his physical. It was a blessing because he got to experience the better things than most healthy men did in the late 60s/early 70s. I'll go back in time and take my back problems with me lol. I actually just found out the other day I might have crack in my tailbone and have nerve damage in my L4 and L5 disks and I have to go for an MRI and can't barback anymore. The good thing is I can get pain killers for the rest of my life now ;D. So send me to 1969 with my medical report!

People only 100 years ago could probably never imagine what our world would be like today, so going into the future, I would say even a few years, would probably serve up a few surprises. I'd be pretty worried about going 1000 years into the future. Chances are you would open the front door and see By the way, I'm using the Back to the Future method of time travel. Just punch in your destination in the spacetime continuum in the car and you go there. So after I had been to the 1970 World Cup final, I'd like to go back/forward to the late 80's to a big ass Guns n' Roses concert.

Whatever the reason, Humans only have 100 years left IMO.

I think the 1920s might be a lot of fun to hang out in for a little bit.

I suppose hanging around Europe during the Renaissance would be cool.
Also, I'd like to see how things were when we were all still caveman. Anyone seen that film, what's it called... "Quest for Fire", I think. It's about cavemen who are on a quest. For fire. It's good.
