    I wanna ride a dragon and be all "RRRRAAAAARRRRRRRR" while doing it. I'll likely be a Cleric so if my dragon bites you in half I can put you back together...unless I don't fell like it.

    Sci-fi safer than fantasy? What about the crazy mad scientist with doomsday devices or evil robots named after one specific power that could never have any real pracitcal use in a future setting? What about the countless alien invasions, the timecops led by Van Damme, and the robots that talk and act like Arnold?

    Not to mention the parallel worlds and the countless attacks from your personal androids and clones?!

    The future is a pretty dark and scary place people. THE END IS NIGH!!!

    Fantasy world, the far off future would probably be just as/far more boring than the present.

    the way you've put it, future is obviously more appealing.

    but under different interpretations of the future and fantasy my choice would be different.

    The CeeJ put it very nicely.

    Use logic. One of those options gives you the possibility of both of those options.

    If you choose the future, you get the future and everything that comes with it. You also have the virtual reality in which you can have the fantasy world.
    EDIT: and about this, which is safer.

    In fantasy theres always some dark wizard, ancient evil or legendary warrior gone bad E.T.C. usually capable of destroying the world or forcing a new reign of darkness and ruling the world. but there are also heroes in fantasy.

    In the Future we could have thought up all sorts of dumb ways to kill each other and someone might accidentally press the red button.

    perhaps the starter of the thread could give us his idea on the conflicts in the 2 worlds to help us decide.

    The future. Largely because I'm sad and I'd like say 'hi' to Jean-Luc Picard and William Adama.

    Then again, riding a dragon and casting spells that make women's clothes disappear would also be pretty cool.

    In a medieval based fantasy world you've got a million and one dangers, spells that can kill you instantly, a dagger or sword, infections and diseases.

    In a Sci-fi world you've got wmd's intergalactic war I mean what if the future turns out something like the Warhammer 40k Universe? Hell knows I'd rather be in the Medieval fantasy than that I mean out in that universe your average life expectancy if you end up pressed in to military service for humanity is 15 minutes. However something less neurotically insane and evil heck I'd go for that time and time again.

    Future. Who is to say that if I pick fantasy, I won't end up being some poor peasant shmoe? Conversely, even today a poor peasant can rise to become pretty rich - sure, it takes a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, but most of the obstacles come from circumstance, not overt oppression. Further into the future, even the poorest people will look incredibly rich by today's standards. Eventually we will have such technology where nobody has to work to survive.

    Short answer: The future, because it will look like The Culture.
