Say you're involved in some sort of accident, for whatever reason the powers at be decide to give you a second chance at life, but you cant return to life in the time and place you came from.

Where would you live and why?

Whenever the end of the world is because that would be teh excitement.
 
Eh, If I could retain what I know now, I would probably want to live in Babylon around 615 BCE as a merchant of many things.
 
Do I get to choose how affluent I'd be at said time.
Because in most periods of time prior to now in history, if you weren`t wealthy you were living a very miserable existence.
Same thing now 'cept we have plenty of shiny distractions to trick us into complacency!
 
I would go back to the 80s because it seemed like such a wacky time judging by the music/teen movie/fashion I've seen from that time.
 
Whenever it is that I have a teleportor, or a Mars colony, or genetically altered superpowers in a can, or at least a goddamn flying car.
 
I'd just like to live the same time I have. But from say the age of two or so know what I know today.

I guess if I had to go to another time period and place I'd get to the 1970s in Cincinnati. Because of the Big Red Machine

Nah. You only get to choose when and where you'll start life over and to make it harder, you can't choose a time period that hasn't happened yet either.
 
Wouldn't want to live in the past. Bad medical science, and lots of mainstream racism. Assuming it doesn't end in an apocalypse or America becoming a third world country itself, I'd like to live in the future.
 
I wouldn't live anywhere permenently but I'd love to vacation through time and space

The 80s were incredible. I loved it back then. As for what time I'd like to live. I'd like to live around Wyoming 1880s to 1890s. I'd be a cowboy or a outlaw like Jesse James. It would be fun.
 
I'd personally have to say the future, I'm African American, so any other period of time would pretty much have me out of luck...
 
Ancient Greece would be nice. They respected philosophers so with modern knowledge and point of view I could be famous and wealthy.

Cincinnati in the late '70s also allows you to listen to Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap firsthand.
 
Go live in the 70's and buy some Microsoft stock and then will it to my future self.
 
In Egypt during the time of the pharaohs, and when they were building the pyramids, just to see how it was done.
