What age would you prefer to live in? This one, the '00s? Perhaps the swinging '60s? or the Roaring 1920s? Surely not the naughty 1890s!!! Which is your favourite era, age or epoch?

By responding to this question you make me to think that I become older again with one more year in 2007.I cant say if is a good age or a bad age but some are calling this age a good one.At this age you are able usually to think more mature than others which are younger,but also you can be in the crisis of this certain age.You have to have a good family and maybe children.As for me at this age I have a family ,a driven license which usually you can afford to have at the age of 18 here in Romania,I have a job but I do not have any children yet.I would like to have and I think is the best age to be already in marriage life.Some says that the best age to be married is around 29 years old but this depends from country to country.If you can guess what age I have it is very good and if not I will tell you that I am 37 and I am thankful to God for what I have and done till this age!May God bless you all even if you are old ,young ,married or not married!So if you can calculate the year of my born you will see that I was born in 1970!But I think that this period Is the best for me to live here in Romania

I have to say, the roaring twenties have a special place in my heart. Despite the depression and the recession of the post-war economy, there's something fascinating about Europe in the 20s. How so many places tried to cling to the grandeur of the pre-war, and how inhibitions were dropped and everyone was just trying to live it up as best as they could....

I like living here and now, and really wouldn't want to change things.
I do think that the 50s and 60s were good years. The music then was good, with good, though not always sensible words ("Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket; save it for a rainy day") but it was still a matter of "Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage". The accepted standard of morality was higher than it is now. Discipline and self control were accepted and applauded. Children were taught to behave. The family was the backbone of society.
Whenever I see a period movie, with the ladies being ladies, dressed in their very feminine attire, being courted by true gentlemen, I think it would have been good to live then. On the other hand, living in a near tropical climate, the thought of those clothes boggles the mind. Added to that, it was only the upper classes who lived like ldaies and gentlemen and there were also many hardships.
It is good to dream and to think, but I thoroughly enjoy the life I have now and I wouldn't change it. So NOW is the time for me.
Good discussion for thought. Thanks.
