      Okay, so the state, with your parents' permission, forces you to attend public school.

        Ha! Takes the bite out of it a bit, doesn't it.

          A bit. Point is, it's a weird circumstance that is never again repeated in life.

            How about jail?

            Not prison, mind you. Jail. Everyone in the Salt Lake County jail committed a crime in Salt Lake County.

              Sure but they're all accused of a crime. They have something in common besides geographic proximity.

                    I had a lot of fun in high school. I wouldn't choose to do it again, but I don't look back on it with many regrets.

                    College (pre-mission) I would re-do in a heartbeat, though.

                      I would totally re-do college assuming if I could keep my current income level.

                        If I could go back and know I'd still end up where I am today (ironically, collecting unemployment and on medicaid and living with my parents), I'd do it over again in a heart beat.

                        I'd have a lot of sex too.

                          Okay, since everyone's been playing fast and loose with the rules, here they are:

                          1. It's all the same. You have the same knowledge as you did at 15. The same experiences you did at 15. No additional funds. You stepped into a time machine that dropped you back to that time and you forgot everything you ever knew past that date.

                          Does that change it?

                            Do we have a choice to go back and do it, or are we just shoved into the time machine? In that case, no, I wouldn't do it. It was fun, but why would I want to do it again? I did have a great time, but I've had much better experiences since then.

                              I wouldn't do it. I don't want to be forcibly put in a place with people I have nothing in common with except that we are all amnesiacs that took a time machine back to high school.

                              Nothing about that screams "awesome, awesome, awesome" to me.

                                What benefit would there be of doing things over again exactly the same way?

                                Is it that you would be in those "good" times instead of these? If you don't remember anything, then how could you appreciate that fact?
