Kenny Man will be along soon to enlighten us.
My guess is he'll be torn between the fact he could fornicate much more easily a thousand years ago, but has to weigh that up against cats being better treated these days and a Wetherspoons on every high street. |

Perhaps not, his memory was already fading by then.

i would because im a boss whereas in this life u are a peasant rob as u would be 1000yrs ago

now for me.
tbf you'd get bored of raping, 1000 years ago. even if you could take your knowledge back with you, the limited advances would still make it sh1t. much more likely to be murdered. |

Hard to even contemplate how bad things would have been back then.
I can't imagine any one single area being better than today! Many babies died at birth, as did many women whilst giving birth! Very many children did not survive past their fifth birthday, and average life expectancy, for a man, was around twenty five years. That is twenty five years of misery and discomfort! Wet, miserable, stinking, louse ridden discomfort. Hideous suffering with teeth decay, septic sores, broken bones and disease. Rarely a half decent meal and, depending on where in the world you happened to be, a real risk of being killed by animals, if not by fighting between yourselves. The lucky ones would have been those that died at birth! |

but there was no council tax

same as today but with less people,so probably better then
|

...and no "Job Sneakers Allowance" either!

By:
I think life expectancy then was about 24 years, so I would have died in about 978 AD.
doesn't sound that great to me. |

people lived longer then

why would i be on job seekers allowance when i have a well paid job?
 why does death fear u? u got to die someday |

Problem – As a serf your local noble lord had the right to shag your intended bride on the eve of your wedding, so you couldn't guarantee your first born would be yours.
Solution – Pick the most ugly wench in the shire. Evolutionary Result – The English are the most ugly nation on the planet.    |

Our species has been about 150,000 thousand years
it is less than 200 years since we have mastered science... things have changed a lot in a relatively short time Will we go on progressing , will we destroy ourselves or will we regress A reasonable question, since from all the billions of planets in our galaxy..we have detected no radio waves as yet... indicating some other intelligent life form |
|
By:
If you were one of the nobility life was probably not that bad 1000 years ago
You had a nice warm castle, servants to wait on you, you could eat, drink and sh*g to your hearts content you could go out hunting and if you got bored go and kill a few peasants I am not sure life has changed that much for the rich...except I think the law may look down on them killing peasants now |

Hey ebulGery
150,000 years you say .. where did we suddenly appear from then  I agree things have changed dramatically the last 100 years even , let alone 1,000 Life was very grim back then (but still is today imo) the poor lived in squalor & were forced to steal/poach just to survive with severe punishment/real imprisonment if caught & i can't imagine what it'd been like during the great battles of 1066 etc , they were brutal times although they did have a certain sense of freedom that we'll never have today |
|
By:
150,000 years you say .. where did we suddenly appear from then
evolved from a preceding species, which evolved from an earlier one etc so not really 'suddenly' |
|
By:
We came from Africa Moonbeam..I know immigration problems even then
Evolved from some previous version of human I would say...I shall have to look it up The earliest trace of our species has been found in caves on S.African coast I think they lived off the sea |
|
By:
ah i see cool , i took note when David Attenborough said the same at the end of the recent Africa programme but wasn't quite sure what he meant by it

By:
ebulGery,
"A reasonable question, since from all the billions of planets in our galaxy..we have detected no radio waves as yet... indicating some other intelligent life form" I think I can answer that, All intelligent life forms that have evolved in solar systems across our galaxy for example have not evolved long enough to reach the stage where they can send radio wave signals that will have had time to reach us. We are first realm with 3 space dimensions & one time dimension. Intelligent life that evolved in binary systems (2 stars) are at the second & higher realm of reality. They have more dimensions their signals travel beyond the speed of light and though bombarding the Earth we can't recgnise them as both the extra dimensions & speed distorts them & we can only pick them up as Solar Radiation. Tri- star systems are the 3rd & final realm. Intelligent life forms are fluid & have little physical structure or planetary mass & exist in multi dimensional space time. It is not known whether they need to actually send any form of electromagnetic signals that we or binary star life forms could ever recognise. |

Mr Moonbeam,
"Hey ebulGery 150,000 years you say .. where did we suddenly appear from then" Mr Moonbeam. We were Solar Coded to evolve. Solar Coding is like the radiated energy version of the material DNA. The Universe is the ultimate information system. (I use Universe in the same way as 'sheep' singular & plural - you can't have one Universe) Solar Coding is related to Binary Star Coding, Tri Star Coding, which in turn are encompassed within the Galactic & Universal Coding framework. Put simply Solar Coding works through radiated energy from the Sun (but not exclusively) in its duality with changes in gravitational fields within the Earth's surface. It is this duality that both shapes & drives our evolutionary cycle. And caused us too evolve – all predetermined. See Anthropic Principle. |

let's be honest, this stuff you post is absolute nonsense and not really to do with the anthropic principle at all. go see a doctor IMHO, and I don't say that to points score on a forum thread.
