I'd have McCain beat Bush in 2000 and beat Gore/Lieberman for president. The world would be a much better place.

If that wouldn't have happened Dinosaurs would still be picking us mammals out of their teeth. Humans are a bunch of whiny pusses. This planet deserves more.
IT'S PEOPLE! GASOLINE IS PEOPLE!
Now to the topic: I recommend you read the book "What If?" (both volumes). It postulates what may have been the implications of pivotal moments in history going the other way.
Personally, I'd choose the Bolshevik Revolution. Squash that fucker like a bug.

I would stop Eminem from being born. Jesse Jackson too.

I'd go back to when I my parents were conceiving me and slap my dad on the ass and shout "I'm your son from the future!"
Dane Cook? Anyone?

M3th is talking about Hastings, which is why I thought the person talking about the Norwegians was wrong, too.Vilham wrote:

Learn your history method.
That goes to anyone that didn't know of the battle of Stamford Bridge.
I'd prevent Nikolai II from becoming last russian emperor. He was fine man, but weak politician.
I'd give the Americans in the Revolutionary War all the modern tanks, guns, aircraft, etc. just for laughs

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
I like that idea, but applied to WWII. We could have crushed the Germans in less than a year, and then set out crushing Stalin. No Cold War means less of a MIC and greater freedom for millions in the old Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Actually there has been a lot of research done for that scenario. I recommend you read this book.FEOS wrote:

nothing tbh, I can't imagine living any different from now. Especially if I knew what changed.
I think I'd go and change the outcome of the American Revolution.
No good has come of it.

Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй!
Bash that silly Gutenburg on the head, or maybe prevent the Battle of Talas. I'm all about illiteracy tonight!
Stop the assassination of Francis Ferdinand.
then WW1 wouldn't have happened (well maybe it would but hey... it's a start) and Hitler wouldn't have fought in it, so wouldn't grow hate/retardism... so WW2 the way it happened wouldn't be there too.
but you never know if you stop it some way always a big change it happens some other way.

I would have told Leiv Eriksson (the Norwegian that discovered America before Columbus) the significance of his discovery and that it would be wise to populate it with Norwegians and keep a very strict immigrant policy

He didn't lose an argument you astronaut. He is just marveled by your idiocy to think that America has done nothing good to contribute to civilization. That thought process, or lack there of, is just plain fucking naive.Dilbert_X wrote:

Mohammad and other prophets/preachers weren't so much the problem, it's the institutions that have organised around religions that have caused so many problems and conflicts. I think the world could do without the Church and other such religious establishments and still learn a lot and take much away from the teachings of these old-world philosophers.
My $0.02 anyway...

I thought he was peaceful and tollerant. I would have never guessed him to be a violent man by just looking at his religion's deeds nowdays.Braddock wrote:
