Haha its always now... not once in anyones life has it ever not been now.. its because now is the only thing that is.. and yet people live in the past or the future... most people cant stop thinking even for a second if they try.. there mind controls them What do we think about most of our lives we think about the past and then we think to the future..e.g what im i going to do next, what happens if this happens.. i cant believed that happened, why didnt i do that. These thoughts are distractions from what is really important The now the only thing that is... the rest are just made up things in your head that are not healthy!!

So we shouldn't worry about the consequences, just do what we want and do it now? Right, I'm off out to rape the first foxy chic I see.
Yes it has happened before, in exactly the same circumstances. If you decide not to buy a beer, that would have been the same decision.
I guess it depends on whether you believe in a multiverse or not. If you do, then each decision simply results in a new multiverse for each option. Every decision has been made, and equally only one decision has been made simultaneously. You just effectively choose a multiverse to live in every time you make a decision. So right now, there is a multiverse, where stopmeandslapme is out raping a random foxy chick, theres another where the chick happened to be a black belt and kicked his ass, and theres another where the chick happened to be Maggie Thatchers mum. It doesn't even matter whether Thatcher's mum is alive or dead in this multiverse, as there'll always be another where she's alive.
I think The King provides us with the final wisdom on this tricky issue.... http://youtu.be/TtFN6YQOhj0
We have no proof that multi universes really exist. It's all hypothesis, so that train of thought can't be used here. We're better off dealing what what little knowledge we have on the subject of time. Jerseymackem stated that if I bought a beer at noon on the next day, a point of the future, I would be replication the past, where is the proof that the day after today has existed in the past? Where is the proof? Please show us where tomorrow's date has existed in the past? And where is the proof that I existed in the past? You've made a bland statement, backed by no evidence. I'm happy to be proved wrong, all that I ask is that you supply a cohesive theory to back up you statement!
