" I think it's kind of hard to apply yourself to that mindset and give a realistic answer? Theres loads of Walter's out there who talk all warlike and think they'd make good soldiers, but to imagine living in another society with different values? I travel a fair bit and I know I'd struggle living in other countries with very conservative outlooks...just not me. As for hunter gatherer...sounds awesome I love the wilds...but let's face it, when you're piss wet through and all your traps are empty the novelty wears off! I kind of like where I am...I'm coping. " I like your answer. I chose potentially more difficult situations on purpose though. I'm curious to know if you could endure. Not what you'd prefer. You sound like someone who could, possibly flourish. Maybe not in the more Conservative Countries like you say, I'd struggle with that myself. Maybe the others though? | |||

"1. As a middle class citizen of say Saudi Arabia - Don't know what this really means; I try to be a good member of society and happy to stay within the law but following my sexual desires could lead to me breaking a rule or two. 2. A career criminal- There's no such thing a vitim-less crime so no, couldn't do this. 3. As a career member of an Armed Force or Emergency Services - 26 years in the Army; not a Andy McNab type but a fit, loyal, disciplined soldier. 4. Family member of a hunter/gatherer tribe - having been in the Army, I could easily do this; I'm a good team member and would hard for the survial of the tribe. 5. Colonisation of the America's - I could go into a new un-chartered territory and colonize it as I know how to survive and flourish. But, having the bennit of history and knowing what this really means in terms of stealing the land of the native inhabitants, destroying their way of life, forcing a religion upon them and making them outcasts in their own country, I couldn't do it." Thorough answer, I like it | |||

Many people still battle on without the benefit of modern, or WW2 era medicine. Many still can't afford it. I imagine most of us would prefer the 'Now' And the relative comfort "Here" brings. That wasn't my question though. | |||

"Being a geek about the 'Native American' their way of life and their world view I'd hope I'd have the bottle to stand against my own in their defence.... x" Unfortunately you'd be treated in much the same way. I'm sure there were people who stood up to it. You very rarely hear their tales though. | |||

"I know enough about history to know that I wouldn't flourish in any other time or culture "as I am now". I could adapt to many but in any historical time I would probably be dead by now " Dead because it happened so long ago  or dead before you got to the age you are now?
I imagine all our life expectancies would drop rapidly the further back we go. I'm just wondering if you think you could weather it as well as they did. Or were humans a tougher animal back then?

I think you'd be a survivor. "Dead because of the age I am, especially in a prehistoric or early history hunter gatherer environment. I simply wouldn't be able to develop the skills required to be useful in a short amount of time and probably wouldn't be able to keep up since as a woman my job would probably be collecting berries and nuts over a fairly wide area. I doubt I've got the stamina required. I know nothing of their morality or attitudes to sex but I doubt I'd be an instant fit .
Of your examples though that's the only one I'd choose to live. | |||

"I'm assuming that I wouldn't be particularly successful - mostly because I have been socialised very comfortably to the western cultures I've lived in. It's about the era, social rules and acceptability of someone living as I do, with a high degree of freedom and autonomy. The hardships and deprivations of pioneers could be somewhat adjusted to, especially when I was younger and would now if it was that or die. Other repressive regimes I would not be particularly successful or healthy. I'd probably be a struggling resistance fighter - oppressed and unhappy to toe the line. Viewed with suspicion, I think I'd find it difficult to create a good cover for myself now. Born into those other hard climates, I would be one of the masses who only know that world, fitting in fairly well in comparison. I can naturally endure a lot but like my freedom to be a minority that isn't as welcome elsewhere. " I think I could see myself becoming angry enough to resist as well. | |||
