they would b very disappointed

OMG, WTF, why didn't I KIIMP!!!

It's a lot noisier.... and warmer than I remember!

They'd be thinking that women really should put their clothes back on, and that men should be more respectful.

Its was far better in the ice age!.I wish I could have died then instead of seeing this!

omg what a race of helpless people no imagination and could not have survived in there time. but they have a better chance of survival than we did, homes bigger than there's, but are they better off in other ways.

the good old days!?

Definatelly happy with the inventions but very disappointed with the way we utilize them

I think that in many respects, our ancestors would be quite impressed with how far technology has come and the advances that have been made in medicine and things of that nature.

I know that my ancestors would be very disappointed in several respects though. I know that they would be disappointed in the way that GOD is being run out of our society. Their lives revolved around the church as did most of their friends. They didn't have people telling them that they couldn't pray or hang a religious symbol if they wanted too.

Second, I believe that they would think that todays children are absolutely spoiled. When many of them were children, they had to go help daddy in the fields or mama in the kitchen. They couldn't stay in an air conditioned house and play video games. They might have had a couple of toys, but never anything close to what our kids have.

Finally, I think the "political correctness" of our society would have drove them crazy. My grandfather once said, "I consider myself to be very open minded; however, some people are so open minded that their brains have fallen out!"

What is the rush all about? Why is everyone in such a hurry all the time. In my day, people knew how to take their time and really live life. We also knew what was really important. Life was simple. Children knew how to behave and communities looked out for each other. Lilfe was so much better back then.

"what's the meaning of life"

One of my ancestors would have thought, I might just go for a walk around town and do some window shopping. Instead on August 7th 1844 she went to watch a "PUBLIC HANGING" in Nottingham city centre, of a man that had murdered his wife and three children in a drunken rage, there were so many people there to watch him hang from the "gallows", poor "Millicent Shaw" was trampled to death along with twelve others. She was 20 years old.
I think they would be amazed that there is treatments for just about every ailment/ illness known to man, and that in this day and age you have to "divorce" between marriages.

If our ancestors suddenly appeared I think they would of course be surprised by technology, but quite quickly they would realise that people haven't changed at all.
I always thought that folks from the Victorian age and before were horribly moral- when you start researching you will find a lot of kids born out of wedlock or born only a couple of months after marriage.

I think they would be thinking pretty much whatever it is that we are thinking, it takes more than a few generations to change the heart of man.

they would say: "why do you keep trying to run away from yourselfs?"...you know it cant be done!!...right?

Hey,
It would hilarious. Our ancesters were such adorable and respectful people with great moral values. They wouldn't tolerate those youngsters with their nasty and profane language with absolute senselssness in dressing.

Girls have turned to sassy girls and tomboys. What they need is merely cash.
Boys are fully into some srt of addicting games.
We must thank Almighty 4 the luxuries instead of misusing them.

First and formost- learn to sow and reap love.
Be the role -models of tomorrow.
Then our ancestors would seem proud of us.
Bye

what the hell are these people doing???!!!

why did I marry,...Why did i have kids...Why did I ruin this world!!!

thay will be like what do thay be thinking

"Wow how am i still alive?" lol but they would be ashamed of us.

If they were U.S. ancestors, they would wonder what the h@ll we have done to their Constitution.

they would be ashamed, and disappointed. they would look down on us for the way we dress, behave, and talk. the music that some of the people listen to is not something they would be proud of and the way that women get portrayed would not help to make them think better of us.

my bad!
