if you could retroactively end the life of any single person
 

going as far back in time as you'd like... who would it be?

:glugglug

how many people will say hitler?

Before the cliches start flying...

There would be no Israel without Hitler.
There would be no USA without Jesus.

For fun, I pick George Bush Sr.

christopher columbus

Adam

interesting way of thinking.

Vanilla Ice.

lmao.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Believe me, he's already dead. He did a concert here a few months ago at a pool hall. The cover was $5.

SpaceAce

I will have to agree on that one. Though if it wasnt for the native americans he would probobly have died anyway.

That big guy in third grade, who's probably disguised himself as an adult by this time.

Avril Lavigne

Isn't he in some kind of faux punk band now? I mean to say, he's not doing rap anymore is he?

Richard Simmons

he's doing Rap Metal a la Limp Bizkit.

he did a cover of Ice Ice Baby called Too Cold.

The sultan of brunei

Yeah, like I was going to pay the $5 cover to find out :1orglaugh

SpaceAce

I'd kill the first guy who thought it was a good Idea for chicks to wear clothes.

that would be the evil snake.

Rene Levesque

:)

Jacques Parizeau :thumbsup

..actually,
Jacques Cousteau

:ak47: tgf

Without Rene Jacques would have been flipping burgers and getting drunk drinking homemade beer all his life.
Fuckin drunk he is

Madonna

Mine is so simple. Guess.

me

Nope, not even on the list of possibilities.

oprah

Umm.. actually.
I've been up for over 48 hours, I misread the thread title. :)
I thought this thread was about 'whose life you wanted to live'
Sorry about that. I definately wouldn't have wanted to kill dear ol' Jacques.

damn. violence isn't always a bad thing.

those poor zebras.

Pierre and Marie Curie

Now I feel bad inside. I admire Jacques Cousteau a lot. When I was a kid I wanted to be him, and actually thought about becoming a marine biologist... now I said I wanted to end his life. :(

Your admiration towards him may have turned into envious resentment that you couldn't BE him. It happens.

:winkwink:

Hahaha, time for a tag line change?

I believe that people emerge to suit the times that they live in. Thus Germany in the '30s was ripe for someone like AH and if he were eliminated, someone very similar would have appeared in his place.

'so many wallets, so little time' :)

Scientists Who Invented the Atomic Bomb under the Manhattan Project: Robert Oppenheimer, David Bohm, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, Otto Frisch, Rudolf Peierls, Felix Bloch, Niels Bohr, Emilio Segre, James Franck, Enrico Fermi, Klaus Fuchs and Edward Teller.

Probably one of the best quotes of this time period:

"My God, what have we done?" - Robert Lewis, the co-pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the first atomic bomb.

it was developed in other areas soon after.

Wow, so you'd have supported the projected loss of more than a million American lives in a mainland Japanese invasion?

And you'd have had Russia pushing the limits of the territory it claimed in Europe after ww2 much further than they did, making much more of that continent a Communist entity during the Cold War?

And you'd never have had us using nuclear subs to patrol the world or using nuclear power for residential and industrial uses?

Interesting.

Ahh, look I know nuclear energy has had its pluses but we all seem to forget that every night when we go to sleep on the other side of the globe Russians still have their trigger finger on about 7,000 nukes with US targets programmed in as the targets.

Take a deep breath Kimmy and really think about that. 7,000 nuclear weapons are only 30 minutes from giving us the suntan of a lifetime.

:1orglaugh

Doesn't bother me one bit KRL :)

If you've ever studied any WW1 history, you know that Verdun and Argonne were two of the most hideous battles to that date in history.

I'd have missiles pointed right at my doorway to avoid American or any other soldiers going through that again.

50 million people died between '39 and '45. I think I would take my chances on killing Hitler and seeing what happened different.

Oh and last but not least and then I'm off to bed -- even if the Russians did have 7000 left (I'd like to see the supporting facts on this since I can't believe its that many) you've got to realize that at least 6999 of them arent in working order ;)

EXACTLY! That's the scariest part of all. A nuclear arsenal that hasn't been well maintained.

Sounds comforting to me. I'm off to bed to. See ya in dreamland sexy! :)

Now THERES an invitation! Isn't it daylight where you live ;)

I just woke up 90 minutes ago. Time to get coffee & breakfast going.


I wonder if there are any nukes pointed at Winnipeg right now?

Yep, I did an all nighter. Just walked the dog. Sun's up and I'm ready for bed.

And yep, dreamland is a fun place to rendevouz. Anything goes, you can float over to anywhere and anyone your imagination desires, and its all just a dream after you wake up.

Night, night! See ya there!
