If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?

[Nor'Easter]

I would go back to the June 28. 1914 in Sarajewo and make happen that the austrian Kaiser don´t get killed by Gavrillo Princip. No 1. WW means, no traumatized Adolf Hitler, no russian revolution, a complete different 20 century.

I have plenty of things in my personal life I would like to go back and change. I too like the idea that Europeans stayed in Europe. If that were the case, we would still have all these bizarre species like the elephant bird. But the post I quoted brings up an interesting point. Who knows if we would be more or less advanced as a result? Maybe all that ugliness was needed to bring good things today about, maybe you need to make and learn from mistakes if you are ever to grow. If you went back and killed this baby or that one, you would just look like a crazed babykiller babbling nonsense about doing the right thing. And just a little difference can make all the difference. Hitler could have been a dismally unsucessful painter (well artist that paints). Stalin could have been a priest, yes a priest! So don't knock religion too much, there may be priests out there that are could have been or would have been Stalins. How many people out there that lead normal boring lives with not so much success could have been crazed dictators if things were a little different? How different would things be today if empires still existed like they did all throughout history? If the Roman empire never fell most of us would be a lot worse off I think! Someone from the future or from another world must have interfered to end empires, we owe them a debt of gratitude!

I'd go back and time and kick Al Gore in the balls thus preventing him from inventing the internet with SEN Ted Stevens series of tubes which I'm pretty sure would stop global warming, 2012 Mayan Apocalypse and Ancient Aliens in one fell swoop, or something...

If I could go back in time and have not to safe the world , I think I don´t smoke my first cigarette.

I'd go back to the days of Adam and Eve and crush Adam accidentally with the machine at landing. Since I am aware that serpents don't speak, we eat fruit and stay naked, thus saving humanity.

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

I'd go back to yesterday and make sure In & Out didn't put tomatoes on my burger.

 

[GET MO]

[Protea]

[Puffaluffagus]

Once I returned from my trip back in time, facebook would now be known as "puffybook"
and I'd be spending my time counting my millions.

And google would be known as "askpuffy.com"
More money, more money, more money


Oh, and you would also all be buying your seeds from PuffyNirvanas seed boutique

 

[kaotic]

I'd snoop around during early Christianity. I'd like to know now what was known for certain back then. If I could see a curtain rip and a resurrection, today would be a lot different.
I would also bitch slap Muhammad for not specifying non violence.

 

[stc9357]

I'd go back in time with about a group of five with m16's and smg's and wipe out the europeans settlers as they landed on the coast of Africa, then kill Harry Anslinger, then change some mistakes I've made.

 

[Hank Hemp]

I'd go back to 1969 and not join the army on my mother's birthday. Such a dumbass.

 

[Floridian]

I'd go back to when I was seventeen and tell my big brother to take that syringe full of diluadid and cram it so far up his ass it comes out a nostril

 

[Superstone]

I would have gone to college....

 

[Mantas]

Nothing, because we were not meant to change time. This is all happening for a reason, nothing is meant to be changed. We might not like everything that has happened or that is taking place today, but this is what is supposed to be happening. You have control and responsibility for yourself and that's it.

No one is coming.

 

[supermanlives]

i would refuse to ride that damn horse

 

[Pinball Wizard]

I'd hate to make any personal changes....I might make it worse....

 

[Floridian]

If nothing were meant to be changed,life would be a boring sombitch.If you have zero control over events that would be a bummerific blood clot

 

[KSP]

Put a man on Grant Hill, and make sure Pelphrey was in position. Meh, things worked out for the better anyway.

 

[ClackamasCootz]

Maybe stopping the filming and distribution of Three Amigos? What were they thinking?

Then there's Tanya Harding's wedding night video - talk about being able to flip any testosterone-laden stud muffin. Not all porn is good, obviously.
