View Full Version : Go Back In Time And Stop One Event
Well? Now think about it for a moment. You can stop ONE event/person. Remember, that leads the way for something else to possibly happen. Who or what would it be? Why? And how would you do it?

I wouldn't change a thing...because I can't. That's just the way it is. If I could, I don't have the power or the mind to create life, let alone change it. I'm just a puppet on a string...........

I'd have to go forward 12 months to see what the fuck had been done to Bin Laden. If fuckall had happened, I'd come back and kick Blair's arse into gear for lying to his electorate. Going back in history would'nt be the correct way to do things as cause and effect on these events may alter everything since that event. Going forward in time to see whats happened! then comming back to change a future that has'nt happened yet is a more logical approach.
Beam me fucking up Scotty!

I don't think she should've been deleted, but I wish our paths had never crossed.
I can tell you now... whether she knows it or not, Jenn... she would have lost out on knowing one of the kinder, honest people I've met. How sad if she doesn't see that... But we do. You remember that!

I'd delete VI Lenin; I've said it often enough before, but the 20th Century would have been almost tolerable if Lenin hadn't been Chairman of the Bolshevik Party in October 1917. Even Trotsky admitted that the seizure of power in Petrograd would never have been possible in Lenin's absence. Alexander Kerensky would have consolidated his power base until January 1918, whereupon the Austrians would almost certainly have sued for a separate peace, throwing Ludendorff's plans for a final offensive into complete disarray. The Constituent Assembly would have led to an SR-led All-Russian coalition, and the Communists would probably have relaxed back into a more moderate, compliant, Menshevik stance.
No Civil War. No political polarization. No Totalitarianism. No Stalin. No anti-communist Fascist movement. No Red Menace. No Zinoviev letter. No red menace in Weimar Germany; no conservative conspiracy. No National Socialist government. No Second World War. No Allied Occupation of Germany. No Berlin Wall. No Cold War. No Joe McCarthy. No red-baiting. No Hiss case. No Nixon. No Vietnam War. The 39th President of the USA would have been Gary Coleman from "Diff'rent Strokes."
The only drawback to all this is that Ronald Reagan would almost certainly have remained in the acting profession, thus inflicting on us over 38 sequels to "Knute Rockne All American" in the starring role of the Gipper's reanimated rotting corpse.

I was sitting around today delving into Nochicktrix history and reading some of the old threads. It struck me as strange that no one is still commenting on some of them like this one.
So if you could go back in history and change things what would you change? Would you like to just once see the indians with a tank so they could kick John Wayne`s arse (thats ass for the americans) or for those who have a more noble streak perhaps you could do some thing to bring about an end to world poverty or stop a war.
What would you change?

maybe it didn't go so well since it's been 4 years since his post ;)
I'm really not sure I would change anything. I'm one of those "everything happens for a reason" folks. If I hadn't made all the choices I'd made up until this point, I wouldn't be who or where I am right now. That could be a bad thing, but it could be a good thing. I don't wanna go fucking around with that.

Not sure.
Maybe the deaths of Martin Luther King, JFK, John Lennon...
The birth of BOTH of my exes.

there was an episode of the newer version of the Outer Limits where some lady travelled back in time from who-knows how far into the future in order to pose as a nanny and become the nanny in charge of taking care of Hitler as a baby so that she can kill him and stop everything that he does. So the end twist is that she takes the baby Hitler and runs away and throws herself and him off a nearby bridge, but right after she does that, the other nanny sees them dead, and then she goes and steals the male baby of some poor beggar woman who had been hanging out nearby the house throughout the episode. She took the baby inside, dressed it in the real baby Hitler's clothes, and the parents never even knew the difference
That whole show just came to my mind when I was reading through this thread.

That episode never happened, Marsbert. The Hitler babies are all in your head.

The only problem was that there wasn't a nonny in the first place. Hitler's mother was a hooker & he never knew who his father was. His start in life was VERY disfunctional & to understand how he got to the insanity he ended up doing, read about him. REAL scary dude as his life progressed. Unfortunately, he had the opportunity & 'help' to carry out his insanity, and millions of people paid with their lives.

whoa I didnt know that. guess the writers of the newer outer limits didn't do their homework? oi
I did know that he wanted to be an artist before the whole dictator thing came about, and that he only painted landscapes and they were bad landscapes at that....which made me laugh at first but then made me sad, just think if they had been good!?
The first KKK rally in the southern United States. I'd punch the grand cocksmoker in the face and tell them that they have no right to claim their superiority over anyone else. I've seen too much garbage come of their ideology, and if there's so much a thing as being intolerant of intolerance, I'll embrace that mentality with both arms.

Westward expansion. I reckon I would've liked to have gotten the natives a little better armed before the U.S. army went west. Might've made a lot of difference in today's society.

yep just think of the western movies they could make of that.
I can see it now John Wayne riding into a swarm of indians armed with automatic rifles and telescopic sights. It would be a must see movie.

The Duke would've whipped 'em with or without the Uzi. I was just thinking of maybe the U.S. dealing a tad more honorably. Like maybe actually ABIDING by some of the treaties.

hahahaha just think though with better armed indians who would have been making the treaties and who would have been in a position to break them. :)
Could you imagine Cortez that mother fucker would have got the surprise of his life with better armed indians.
