I would've been killed if I had lived in another day and age

I probably would have been burnt at the stake if I had lived early enough. If I'd been born at least a few decades earlier, I probably would have been instituitionalized soon after birth.

I guess that whether I would have made it, or not would depend on what the decades and centuries were. I would have faired better in 1950s London, because that's the type of mindset that I have. I would have been drugged to death by a group of hippies in a park, in the 1960s, being that I live in North America and hippies seemed to hate anybody who appeared to be British - I guess that they thought Brits were from more Victorian times, because of their accents. How stupid. I wouldn't have made it, if I was born in the 1930s, or earlier. Babies were spanked and abused for soiling themselves, and mothers were toilet training their babies, before they were even walking. I was trained a little after my third birthday. I think that I would have breezed through the Seventies, if I was in my teens or twenties, back than, being that the Seventies are my favourite decade. I would have been in real trouble, if I was born any year before the 1940s.

If I was born in anchent times its hard to tell how I would fair out. I have asked myself this question before. I think eather I woulda done real well or done really baddly. Eather I could get by due to lower socialization skills by everybody back then or I woulda done really bad and be killed by somebody who hated me or a mob of people who hated me. Indeed, I guess taking all that into consideration I think I am best to have been born in the 80's.

It would depend upon what era and culture I was in. A few hundred years ago I would have been a mountain man and loved every minute of it.

Absolutely. I'm sure I'd have been killed in a previous time. A witch.

Sinsboldly, that was a wonderful, strong post. Ana's too.

I've often imagined myself being stoned out of a village, after having lived up into my teens as a pariah among the NT villagers there; never killed, just sent away on my own.

I have failed to find a way of supporting myself, so yes id be dead and rightly so. Hence my "i should be shot" comment in another post.

I dunno if I would have been killed in a different time...

I don't think I'd have been killed outright, but I would have succumbed to a seizure because there was no medication available to control seizures.

I guess that I was reading too much into the Broadway musical, 'Hair'.

Now I see why my mun didn't want me watching it, that afternoon when I was in Grade 9.

I actually remember pretty much toilet-training myself. It wasn't that much of an intellectual exercise. My mother thinks that it was to avoid some of her beatings, and when I think about that, that kind of thinking is pretty sick. I did stuff like that because I wanted to do things right, and she had a problem with that.

i think I would kill some people. maybe i would be killed in the end, dunno, but deffinitely someone would pay for that :D

I'd hate to know what would've happened to me in such times like Medieval. Or even Victorian times... I would've had the tiniest chance in times like 1940's... I could detect the smallest chance of a life there...
Now - 1960's/70's? I think I would've done alright in those times... or at least have been in with a shot.

But true History you say? Like - Roman, Medieval, Tudor, Victorian... hell no I wouldn't have stood a chance.
