If you could witness one event in history, which event would it be?

Either the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, or the bombing of pearl harbor during WWII.

 

id go smoke some hash on lesbos

 

the trial of Socrates.

 

Call me stupid but... what do you mean? :lol:

Do you mean smoke some drugs ontop of a girl?

 

Lesbos is a Greek island famous in antiquity. One of its natives, Sappho, was a celebrated poet whose relationships with women gave lesbianism its current name. Up to the 19th century, calling a woman "sapphic" was an understood reference to her sexuality, until the replacement of the word by modern terms.

As it so happens, it's almost certain that Sappho was bisexual or pansexual. She wrote of men and women in similarly sexual/romantic terms.

And I assume that she means hash in the same way you're thinking.

 

Ohhh! I know that island.. It just didn't click :lol: I think she did mean drugs.

 

The holocaust. I want to see how crazy and scared people were.

 

You can join me.. But I have other plans involving killing hitler. KAISER.. I DON'T CARE IF MY CHANCES OF KILLING HIM ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I WILL DIE TRYING :lol:

 

That hasn't happened yet!

 

Adam and Eve I want to see how she got talked into eating that fruit, and I want to see if any of their kids were gay .

 

...Pretty sure that one of their kids killed the other one. At least, according to the story. I don't think a god would make gay people that close to the beginning.

 

The Renaissance era: DaVinci's art and engineering

 

If I'm being honest, I'd like to see the reaction to Pearl Harbor. It was the 9/11 of 1941, and was a very large part of history for all that the attack itself wasn't significant in magnitude. The information from that period is woefully inadequate compared to 9/11, and I'd like to figure out what the process in the civilian part of the US did towards the government. I doubt I'd change anything, because now is as good as it ever gets (so many things could go wrong the second-fiftieth times you do it, so never change "for the better") but observation is key to understanding. I'd also like to open the world's eyes at the time to the true similarities between people. I mean, Germany, Japan, and America all had some form of concentration camps, and they were either enemies or on the opposite side of the planet.

 

thanks aussie for being my translator, i dont even remember making that post :<

 

You got a point there .

 

The fall of the Berlin Wall. Or Woodstock!

 

Witness and be a part of Gertrude Stein's salon

 

The first openly gay President. (I probably won't live long enough)

 

The day where creationists argue is the beginning of the Earth. I would film it. And then I'd show people what really happened.

Of course, it'd probably be cried out to be fake, and nobody would believe I actually went to that date. So perhaps it might not be worthwhile in the beginning.
