Not as long as you don't talk to yourself or touch yourself, or something like that. Oh, and I thought the wedgies were a good idea.

There is nothing I'd like more than giving my younger self a wedgie.

Does quantum leaping not fuck up your own space-time continuum? (I haven't seen the show.)
Only occasionally when it benifits as plot devive, but the rules require that you do something good or you get stuck in that body.
So barend would be screwed (but probably happy)
I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

Define good... I rolled my stats under a a creative/destructive chaos/order alignment cross. Creative chaos for me. Good and evil are just labels placed on actions based upon some sort of absolute moral code decided upon by society.
Can you do a whole mess of bad and then one good thing, or do they need to get balanced out?

I doubt it, the action required normally also requires some good actions inbetween to get to that point, although getting in swing with the person he's become and conducting mischief seemed to be permittable.

I don't think it's as much doing something good as it is correcting something. Setting right the things that were wrong, or something like that. I never knew for sure if it was the time travel that messed up the events, or if they were already messed up, and the computer just decided that they needed to be fixed.

Already messed up. There would be some grave injustice or tragic event which would occur if time proceeded along its current path. Sam was sent back in order to change the outcome to a positive one, using his knowledge of what was supposed to happen.
I think the message was probably something to do with teaching these people (and us, the impressionable viewers) to take control of their lives and make positive steps where possible. Its all well and good looking back and saying "If only....", it takes a stronger character to seize the moment and go ahead and improve their lives.
Either that or it was formulaic, sci-fi junk which only took time out from flogging the time-travel/destiny plot device to death every week to wheel out the same 'I'm talking to Al but no-one else can see him' joke a few times. Depends on your point of view really.
I enjoyed it though.

there would be no consequence to causality on a personal level if i maintained concious controll of my former self.
i'd happily relive the last 15+ years of my life with my current knowlege.
(especially all the times i was too stupid to realize when girls liked me).
but mostly, for gambling purposes and arranging "accidents" of people who had no business reaching adulthood.
