If you had a contraption that could take you to anytime past or future (because let's face it, nobody wants to be in the present right now.) when is it that you would want to go? Me, it would be when Naruto and Bleach + all of my favorite animes were finished and animasubbed&done.

Meh . . . I just want to go back to when I started college . . .
. . . and choose IT major. They seem to get a LOT of money now, despite of the crisis.
Oh, and TALK to that chick I like so much. I refrained from talking to her because I'm too scared that day. Now I'm cool and smart enough to do that . . . HA!

I wouldn't want to change the past, and I wouldn't want to see the future....so I wouldn't use it!

I would have traveled back in time and learned how to use a MAC. Now, I just don't seem to have the time, or anyone with a MAC to teach me. Also, I would have taken HL computer science instead of SL in it. =( Boy did I miss out!

I guess actually I would have done alot of things differently...
Back in the lower years of senior school, like years 6/7/8 I would have gone back and stopped myself from eating so many chicken nuggets and getting fat and overweight, which roughly 9 years later, I am still trying to work off.
I would have gone back to the beginning of my first year of uni and a) not blown all that cash I came to uni with, which should have lasted me three years and lasted just over one... and b) kicked my arse into gear and actually done some work and not be a lazy fuck and have to repeat the year. c) not mope around over this certain girl the whole time, I look back and realise how pathetic I was and some of the shit i did was just outrageous. Would have given myself the name and address of my current girlfriend and told myself to go find her.
I'd quite like to have been born in Edo/pre-Edo period Japan, learn how to be a samurai and all that...
And I'm pretty into what the future will be like, had another future based dream last night (what like the 5th one in a week or something...) where my current girlfriend was trying to contact me through my dreams from the year 2025 (in which time she was my wife). Sad? I'll let you decide. So yeah, see what all the future technology is like etc, see how long it takes for us to actually get round to colonising the solar system and then beyond.

For me I'd go both ways in time to the point where i had the best foods and the times where as i got the greatest of sleep. I'm kinda of a lazy person so I really don't need to change anything, all things are as fine as it is then and are now and most likely if tomorrow comes, which not promised, will be just fine.

I would like to check the future instead of past. I wanna jump to time when warp travels are possible.

Yup.
I guess it'd be pretty cool to go back to when I first met my current friends and be less of a dick to them in the past. But I mean, I'm friends with them now, so maybe it was okay? Worth a shot though, even if it is just to see what would have happened.

I would probably go back in time to take control of a country or something.
For example, I would go back in history to when the vikings first settled in Newfoundland. I would use some sort of technology (guns, computers, anything fancy) to impress them and make me their divine leader. I would then order them to make a permanent colony there, using my knowledge of modern construction and agriculture to advantage, and establish a new empire where I will rule all my life and end up being remembered throughout history as a founder of a great empire.
Something like that.

I would go back to all my grades 1st-12th... and do my homework and such. not be a lazy ass fuck who skidded by on his A's on his tests... so i could get those grants and loans for college...
or I would go back to when I first joined the Air Force, and actually stand up for my self and not be a lil bitch for the higher ups, continued my path in the Honor Guard and stayed in for at least my full 6 years or perhaps more.
Or maybe I would keep all that... so i would end up where i am now, but kick my as into gear my first semester at college that way i would still be in class with my friends and we would grad at the same time... and be able to keep the finer things i have in life...

I would take alot of technology back to the 50's and get rich and put it in a bank account for myself in the present.
Probably go to the future and what i will eventually turn out to be in this world, dont really see any other purpose of using it
i'd probably go back in time and save jesus from being crucified. that would probably create a paradox. just want to see what would happen. i wonder if he would be mad at me for doing that...

Now is it a temporary deal if I want it to be? If so...I'd go back in time and test the validity of religion and check to see if jewish mystics were high on mushrooms in the mountains, the prophet Mohammed was prone to epileptic seizures resulting in visions, or whether Jesus was indeed a real figure and if he truly was a good carpenter so he can fix that darn loose table leg.

Hmm...I'd love to go back to Edo Japan period or the late Tokugawa era, dress up like a boy, formally learn kenjutsu and its ways. I do have an undying fascination with Japanese swords and the Japanese history.

You would really manipulate time just for anime purposes?
Me..
Probably go back to high school with the level of focus and concern for the future I have now.

I wouldnt go back in time just few years earlier and fix my childhood/teenagehood mistakes. Id go back in renaissance time and get a total new life in a difference world.
I wouldnt care about some boy I found cute at 15 years old if I was able to meet people like Alexandre Dumas and live in a period of time absolutely more fitting with my personnality and beliefs.
Id also want to meet the lady of the camellias and be her friend since she missed of that in her life. Id go to the theater watch some Moliere and see if I find his ballets as much annoying as now when I have to read them XD
And maybe try to save the world, which wouldnt work but still be entertaining.

Take a few friends with me to the future when life expansion is fully perfected. Right now, scientists can triple the lifespan of mice. So in the future, there might be some drug or some bio-modification machine that can make you immortal.
Then I'll come back to the present and witness everything. And I mean everything.

Hmm.... I would liek to have been an uninvolved observer of the prehistoric times, the Age of the Dinosaurs... That would be cool.
Also to have seen the medieval period or the Roman Empire, I love to see what it was like back then. Emphasis on the uninvolved, because all of those periods are quite brutal and if I was there, I would be dead in less than a day.
Something to change the past, I always thought of wanting to change the past immediately after I did something that I did not want to do or the consequences were not of my liking, but in the long run, everything has meaning, so I wouldn't want to change anything.

I wouldn't go back to change my past mistakes. That's foolish and pointless. Our mistakes mark our personalities.
I'd mostly wanna back in time as to observe the eras back then. How people used to behave, how the world used to be. Orr i'd like to travel back to events/wars/w.e that are historically unclear or missed out.

I would want to go to the future like in futurama. Because lets face it, who doesn't want to hang out with dr. zoidberg

I would go to the future, until the point where super technology is possible, such as, Dream-Recorders or mind-recorders, like, you think it up, and it shows on a screen, and you create your own movies. Or technology that lets you learn things fast, I would learn things I want to, and return to my true time, and then live a great life and do these things I always wanted to.
