In your country, how far back would you like to turn back the clock?

I think the best in our history would be 4 decades back, it's not that same as what our nation used to be right now. the ways of life and living was so complex and simple, with agriculture as the means of one family's livelihood. Compared to where are country is right now, rapid developments and lots of foreign investors and businessmen are coming here. Instead of people concentrating on what their country's natural resources are, they tend to leave their homes and look for these NEW opportunities which many thought would help them. it does helped us in some way, but it also caused alot of setbacks and adjustments since they prefer to work in big cities then leave their fields or sell them for development companies to turn into buildings or business establishments. The 50's and 60's where our golden era, since people tend to their own business and family needs which is really about agriculture and crops. If the government nowadays just pushed this and capitalized on exporting our own products, then Philippines could've been in a more comfortable and smooth-flowing place in the world. Also, the word CORRUPTION is the infamous term used now in almost every person who are attached in the government!;)

My country for the last thirty + years is Italy. I admit to not knowing much about the history but I was never good on English history either. If I could turn back the clock here it would be back to 1999 before the Euro took the place of Lire. Unfortunately there was not enough checking on prices done at that time amd the change has been the cause of many peoples and firms losses. Everything except wages has doubled in price in these years since the change took place. So we find ourselves paying twice as much as before while only receiving half what we were earning before. Everyone is aware of this including the gorvernment but nothing is being done to alter it and the 'poverty line' is changing rapidly.

I think india is now having one of the best timnes.our gdp growth is now at 9 percent.our economy is growing at a faster rate with sensex crossing over 20000.also we are a having a good job sector for youth in india.also we are having a stable government.with more people getting educated the literacy rate is also considerably increasing

I wouldn't. I just got the laundry done and I don't want to do it again.

As a Brit, I would have to say British history tends to be based on other people's disadvantage. Britain was obviously greatest at the time of the Empire, but if these were the best times for Britain, then the country's being ruled would often say that these were the worst times for their country. In more recent times I would say that Britain's best time was in the Second World War, though I didn't live through it, the stories of the Blitz spirit are inspiring, where the country was one in opposition of Nazism, standing relatively alone in Europe in the 1939 and 1940
