    No question about it...I'd go back. I was raised on a farm and as an outdoor person (hiking, hunting, fishing...yes, and I'm even a GIRL!), I think I could live in the pioneer days. I often think I was born in the wrong time period. I would like to grow and raise all my food and make clothes, chop wood for heat, hunt and gather and all that good stuff. That would be right up my alley. Not easy by any stretch of the imagination, but just where I would love to be.

    I would want to go forward and see what is going to happen, then come back to try to improve my future. I don't want to go back because there may be a lot of things that go wrong that didn't go wrong in the first place if I change something. But by knowing the future I can alter it by doing something positive in the first place.

    Definitely backwards. I think the future is going to be worse than we can imagine (and i am talking about hundreds of years from today)

    Both. Time machines will never be invented though because we would see people coming from the future into the present day. That could explain ghosts though...

    Backwards ... why go forward and lose time ? it's the most precious thing one could ever have.

    Backward in time and keep the future unpredictable...that's one of the excitements of life!

  • back in time, and kick the heck out of the a**holes who created the AIDS virus and some of the other diseases and the Presidents who commissioned the creation to be used as weapons for biological warfare. By the time i was finished with them, they would all change professions!
