Hmm, how come?

I suspect I'm walking into a trap here, but... it would avert the Nazi rule of Germany and thus WW2 and the Holocaust.

I see. Hitler is quite a popular choice, as you yourself admit. But I fail to see the logic behind picking him. It would mess-up the political and geopolitical landscape of Europe, with rampant communism. Now, if you don't care about geopolitics but rather the masskillings, wouldn't Mao or Stalin be a more obvious choice? You're a pretty intelligent guy, so I was just curious what the reasons were behind your pick. Peace.

That's a good point about communism. I hadn't thought of that. *reconsiders choice* :P

That's how I came to the conclusion about Kaiser Wilhelm II. Without him WW1 would have potentially been avoided which would have to lead to the Russian Revolution not happening and averted the Nazi rise to power and WW2 and the events of it.

Why?

He was a traitor to the empire. Without him, the so-called USA would still rightfully belong to the throne of England. Rather.

Ok so the USA is a bad thing then

Bah. GSer's who didn't annoy me might be able to get positions in the "Gaming Regulatory Committee". Your job would pretty much be to play video games all day and then post on forums. And it would be a cushy government job too! You can't refuse now! Once I utter the word "cushy", NONE can resist me! BWAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

George Washington...jointed
Um... no.

If your objective is to keep the Colonies from breaking away from England, I'd suggest Samuel Adams, John Adams, or Benjamin Franklin, since they were the political forces behind the revolution. Washington was merely a general.

...or you could remove King George. Without his blatant violations of the colonial charters, none of the colonies would have considered rebellion.

My pick? Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. Need I say more? :P

You wouldn't. You would have failed, and probably died. If time travel was possible, then those events would have already happened. You would have already stopped him from being born. Obviously you didn't if you know they existed.

That assumes time is a series of loops, rather than a line that can be re-written.

If time travels in a straight line, to go back in time would change the line correct? If the line is changed then you would already be expierencing it's consequences.

Probably Woodrow Wilson. If he didn't exist, Germany would have never been screwed over in WWI, Communism would have never risen, and WWII would have never happened. Plus, no income tax. :) It's all in the book Wilson's War. Pretty interesting book if you ever get the chance.

That would still be a series of loops. What a re-written straight line would be is that if you went to 1945, and then back to 2008, 2008 would be completely different, not already experiencing the conseqeunces.

Unless you did it and then someone else went back and stopped you, so you actually got killed before you went back in time, which would still ask the question, who do you stop back in time.

[QUOTE="Boba_Fett_3710"]Can I go time and prevent Jesus from being immaculately born?Jandurin
I did think about that. You'd just have to lay with his mother, and that would stop the immaculate-ness.

Immaculate conception= Mary being conceived. You mean it would stop the Virgin birth from being pure.
