Kind of depends on where he would go to and was from
From the south:
he would be wondering why the hell that black guy is sitting next to him on the bus

The north:
Bush?? he'd wonder, Oh I remember now, that must be Prescot's grandson, what a tolerant society, that the grandson of the guy who financed Hitlers standing army of 400.000 black coats in those days before the war

From Utah:
yep, still a shit hole

From the European Union

What the FUCK!, no internal borders, Germany has the largest economy and tourists digging holes all over Europe's beaches,
Did we loose the war afterall?

From China:
Great, first the Cultural Revolution and now everybody is making T-shirts

From A'straaaaaaalia:
There are still abo's left?

From New Zealand: still cant get to the beach

From France: MMMMH? wee yoesed to call them Freedom Fries

Foul-mouthed, disrespectful, poorly educated kids who can't read, can't spell and can barely speak intelligibly. Kids like that existed 40 years ago too, but now they seem to be the rule rather than the exception.

Pretty much everything would be a shock, I bet. It is to me, and I'm NOT a time traveler!
by WalterPeck_EPA on Wed Apr 21, 04 7:41am [+]

I am such a time traveller since I'm over 40. I'm most shocked by the increase of stupidity in the US population.
by Framante on Fri Oct 29, 04 3:46pm [+]

He'd probably wonder if we'd lost a war with Mexico and if the new border was somewhere around Arkansas.

I agree with the George Bush one also technology and todays "music"

Humans are still here?!

And how fucking stupid are you Anonymous? if you want to criticize a poll register and rate it otherwise bugger of you moron. I'm sick of cowards like you criticising other people’s ballots.

The ridiculous, crippling levels of political correctness poisoning every facet of our society.
by Doctordraw on Thu Dec 16, 04 1:28pm [+]

I voted music - but they'd just ignore it like most of the older generations do now.

Seeing 90% of the opulation spending 95% of their time in front of a screen of some kind. We must look like zombies!

Before passing on that tidbit of info, having paramedics at hand is advised...

They would absoutely be amazed by turning on a big-screen color HD television and seeing guys wearing lots of jewelry and cocked baseball caps making up their own words and lip-synching them in a monotone with cliches about drugs, violence, sex, and money over a repetitive beat box and synthesizer loop with their hands on their cranks. They would most likely think it's just a window to an insane asylum.

Let's see 40 years ago...1965. What a year that was. Vietnam was still in advisor stage. Richard Speck was still someone's son. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were the hope of the future. And women?...well, they were all about pleasing men.

But most were from Saudi Arabia

Home computing is a biggie but when i was a kid reading sci fi and watching the space race it seemed sure we'd be on some other planet by now...we don't even have hubble anymore.
by weebles48 on Sat Jun 25, 05 12:39pm [+]

Actually, that is an insult to chimpanzees everywhere...including the ones that are members here.
by antispamdinista on Fri Aug 04, 06 7:08pm [+]

I'm 57.
When I was about 19, I saw Man walk on the moon.
That was seriously Far Out!
I reckoned,then,
that by the time I was about 50, I'd be able to buy a sighseeing ticket to go up,
make two rounds of the moon, and come back, routinely, safely, for under $10,000
- a tourist attraction kinda thing.

OTHER Major disappointment of my life? We had the two biggest Pot-Smokers in charge of the White House, for TWO terms,
and neither of them could change the Alcohol Engine that keeps pot suppressed and illegal
(while whole countries go down the tubes, becoz of Amerika's hard-headed 'War on Drugs')
