I got this idea from a class discussion in AP US History today, and I'm using it for my extra credit essay. If you could go backwards in time, name one thing you would change, and what you think might happen if you did (causality is very bizzare, so for all you know, by killing Hitler when he was a baby, you could end up with the complete genocide of every African person). Just some random stuff you think could happen, or what you would change and why. Thanks.

Oh, and just for the hell of it, I would go back in time, kill Hitler, and replace him with me to not only prevent the Holocaust, but to also create my own friggin' huge empire. I'd probably bomb France (no offense), maybe Quebec too, if I could reach it, and expand my own borders to include all of Europe, and western Turkey.

Hrm.... I'd do something that'd megawickedfuckup the time line... Like bust into the room on July 4, 1776, and just scream "IT WON'T WORK" as loudly as I can to the founding fathers.

Then maybe I'd murder John Hancock.

I'd try to stop Bush from winning the elections back in 2001... or was it 2000?
I think we wouldn't have the whole War in Iraq thing if he hadn't ever been in office.

That was actually a good idea, HH. I´d probably do the same.

And I´d kill Usama before he can do any damage to USA or other countries.

So you'd attempt to fraud the elections. Good job you. ;(

If I could go back in time, I'd probably go back with a gas burner and raze Hiter's freshly dead body.

I'd go back 6 million years, and put a car encased in ice on top of mt everest, so when the first explorers discover it, they'll be confused to no end.

Maybe go back to the salem witch hunts with a gatling gun and a boombox that's blasting something like Prodigy, cause all kinds of trouble.

Run by moses and the jews wearing nylon parachute pants, fat rings on every finger, a jester hat and a vest that says "LOL" on the back in rindstones during the exodus and say "Yo" and then keep running, see if I make it into the bible.

You have to realize, even if you went back in time, you would be just the same as you are today.

If you dont understand what I mean, here is an example:

You wouldnt be able to find Osama, and good luck killing him... just because you have the power of travelling back in time, doesn't mean you can acheive practically everything..

That's a possibility, but I wouldn't want to increase anti-semitic backlash or matyr him that way. Then again... as long as I'm torching his body, who cares if it was alive or dead?

I COULD go back time and kill him while he´s still a kid.

That´d be easier.

I would go back when ......actually I dont know what I would do...probably something stupid, or something that would make things be even better in the world, or if I tried, something horrible might actually happen, so who knows what would happen.

...why did katamari damacy come to my mind?

And eh, I would try to prevent wars and such. It's impact would change the present too much to be... comfortable for me. Still, sometimes I want to go back to scinetfictci important persons and show them the present day, they be pretty impressed. Leonarda da vinci probably would be happy to be recnoised as being before his time.

I wonder what would happen with technology if I like... introducted electricity and lightbulbs in year 1000 or something.

They'd call you a witch.

Gotta admit, it would be awfully tempting to go back and carve my name in a rock like 1000 years ago or something... but knowing my luck, I'd probably end up bringing back some bug or disease and killing everyone.

You gave me an idea. I´d steal his flying machine and sell it for billions in our time.

I´d be stinkin' rich.
