Subject: Do you think you were born at the right time? Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:59 am

I think a lot of us question what it would be like if we were born earlier or later than we are, like if earlier if we got to take part in more historic events from time. On one hand I kind of like being of this generation as it seems to be the last semi-good one, but on the other hand, those who came before me got to see and do a lot of amazing things, and for that part it seems I'm here just in time to see all the interesting people die of old age.

IDK how much it is me or how much it is my time, but the drop out, turn on, free luv of the '60s and '70s was the impetus of my time (and I am glad to have experienced it)

I was a little older than most of the baby boomers but see that as an advantage - I could appreciate it much more.

I could have had it worse in this same time. Vietnam was messing up a lot of guys my age, not just the 58,200+ that were killed but the countless thousands who were physically or psychologically wounded. My service was spent mostly in an office countering the Soviet Union - and on pass I managed to get my first serious girlfriend. Again, the time was ripe for this.

I'm okay with when I was born. I got to experience toddlerhood in the late 70's, childhood in the 80's and my teen years in the 90's. All around win.

I've often thought I'd been better off born a decade sooner. I would have liked to enjoy the 50's a little more, plus I'd be retired right now.

That's me right there.

I'm fine with the time I was born. What I know for sure is that I don't wish to be part of the generation that came after!

I used to wish I was 10 yrs older....but I'm good with when I was born. Ain't no way in hell do I want to experience what its like to be a black woman before 1970.

I feel the same way. Wouldn't have mind being maybe up to ten years earlier, but ultimately I came on time.

No...I'm fine with when I was born. It could trade up or done two or three years, but I have no desire to be part of another generation.

I'm good. And I was right on time for the tax deduction.

However, I was born in a blizzard and I hate snow. I should have been at least a spring baby.

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century.
