You are given an opportunity to restart your entire life, starting the day you were born, all the while remembering everything you did the first time. Do you accept?

Hell yeah. I'm the kind of person that always regrets things that I did seconds earlier.

It seems neat, but it also would probably make me insane, putting a 25 or so year old mind in a child. No thanks.

So, like playing a video game for the second time and being miles better because you know the secrets by now.

Tough choice. I'd be able to make better choices about my finances and make some huge profits gambling in the process (Marlins over Yankees! Giants over Patriots!) On the other hand, knowing what I know about a lot of the girls at high school and work back then, I know exactly what I'd be doing...and I'd hate to end up finding myself in an incredible relationship with a girl I was never with and screw up my marriage and possibly make it so my son never exists. All it takes is one lifestyle change, she gets pregnant at a different time and everything changes.
I made mistakes...I'll stick it out here. (That and I know a certain family member I'd probably murder. I don't want to get charged with murder when I'm 5.)

Maybe, but I'd prefer to start around first grade or so. Who wants to relive days filled with nothing but crying and spitting up all the time? Sounds kinda boring to me.

Gimme the ability to switch gender too, and certainly.

I don't regret anything, but I wouldn't mind going back to let things "sink in" better, if you know what I mean.

Ideally, yes, but you have to realize that picking new scenarios creates new problems. If you decide not to go to one school and go to another, for example, you're altering the time line and moving new people in and out of your life, so you'll essentially have a different life anyway.

You'd clean up in gambling and it'd be interesting to look at the world of the past through your adult self's perspective as a kid so yeah i'd do it

Yeah I'd have to agree with that, you could end up worse than when you started, and knowing that you caused that would drive you insane. If TV and movies have taught me anything it's that no good will come from offers like that.

Probably, but I'd prefer to start around 1st or 2nd grade if I got that chance.

I don't regret that much. Maybe go back to 2003; most of the things I wanna redo start with high school. I don't really have a problem with anything prior to then, aside from maybe a few relationships I may have missed out on.
