If you could change one event in history, what would it be?

[IronWing]

The Library of Alexandria wasn't destroyed..

but..

then again..

i've said too much already.

Oh shit! Not another Dan Brown/Scooby Doo mashup?

You can't alter the past anyways. Time is not fluid

So you stand by your decision to post your pome?

was it a pome fritte?

 

[IronWing]

It was a really good lay.

 

[alkemyst]

I'd change it so I get more than one choice.

Preventing the burning of the Library of Alexandria comes to my mind first.

That was my EXACT thought when I read the thread title.

 

[tynopik]

we need to focus on fixing population pressure problems which ultimately contribute to all wars.

lol

thanks for proving my point

They are related to backwards thinking one of which believes war is inevitable, a theory propagated by religion. Instead of working on the notion that war is inevitable and we should just be grateful for it, we need to move on to new ideas like preventing their causes in the first place. Religion stifles that creative and necessary process.

the 60s called

they said that, yes, you were considered crazy even back then

 

[SSSnail]

I should have hit it... more than once.

Dont worry, I dont mind.
I guess if I were stupid I'd make useless, pointless arguments as well.
And I dont look down on you at all.

 

[IronWing]

I'd have moved Luther's blog post to the pub door. Would have spared the world three centuries of pointless warfare.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Would have stayed the fuck out of Vietnam.

 

[Dirigible]

Preventing Eddie D from giving the 49ers to his sister.

Maybe that.

Or maybe I'd erase that one time when I was walking to the kitchen at night
with the lights out and stubbed my toe. That really hurt.

If "Back to the Future" has taught me anything, it's that mucking about with the timeline can only make things better for everyone involved. Unless you're named Biff.

I'd change some event that prevented me from being able to change that event in the first place thereby causing the universe to divide by zero and ending all of existence.

 

[Perknose]

I'd stop the storm that sank the Spanish Armada and prevented it from conquering England so that, centuries and many permutations later, the good people here in Nueva Espana would be up in arms about the influx of pale skinned illegals pouring across our Northern border and polluting our sacred way of life with their crazy and nearly inscrutable Saxon curse words like fuck and darn, their constantly blaring madrigal music, their near total disregard of the three hour siesta, and their fly infested fish and chip stands.

Damn blanco snowbacks. Diga en espanol, por favor. :twisted:

 

[arkcom]

I'd go back to the invention of cheesecake, and properly name it cheesepie.

I'd go back to when you started school and force you to read and rewrite the dictionary till you had that thing memorized. because your spelling is god forsaken atrocious.

I'd just invent a machine that sterilizes all the right wing nut jobs.

Another vote for stopping whatever caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event.
