Without getting philosophical, if you could actually go back in time?

Question

And change history, where would you go and what would you change?

I'd probably go back in time and eliminate Alfred Nobel.

Or I would go back and date several of the fantastic ladies that I have met here!!

Or I would go back and give Bill Gates $20,000 to jump start his business for 10 per cent.

Answer 1

Ah, one of my favorite themes. I would love to go back and look at history. As for changing one thing, for the sake of others I would eliminate Hitler. If only for myself I would prevent my daughter was being where that drunk driver was.

Answer 2

I'm not feeling philosophical tonight. I went to pick up my post and the post office jammed my lock. So now I have to go there in the morning and ask them what happened. I think some Aussie bloke tried to get into it. It's been happening a lot now days.

Sorry, to answer your question, I would go back to the good old days of fun and laughter, in the 60;s and in the days when people were able to have a good old laugh. I would change a few people, like in top positions.

Answer 3

Simple, but true - I'd go back to 1958 and have my Dad's back-to-the-states orders changed so that he/we would have stayed until his retirement. That way I would have completed high school in France and gone to college there, rather than returning to Stateside.

The problem with that however, is I'd never have known my 3 kids nor my grands... :-(

SO maybe I'll pick instead changing the decision to get involved in the Viet Nam conflict.

Answer 4

I would go back and take a copy of the Wall Street Journal with me to the year 1968. Then invest madly into tele-communications stocks, real estate and Insurance markets.
Then wait till 1977 and locate my present wife and have her elope with me. Thereby averting ever meeting the first and former wife. Then my wife and I could have lived comfortably.

Answer 5

Prevent Hitler from ever becoming anything but the lousy paper hanger and would-be artist that he was. Then I would have to work on getting Stalin eliminated.
(Why Nobel? Because of the Prize or the explosives?)

Answer 6

No matter how much I think about it, my mind goes back to the same thing. If I could go back in time and change history it would be to make sure J.F.K. took a different route that day in Texas or to have prevented him from going at all !!!

Answer 7

I'd go back to the Garden of Eden and Chop of the top of that beauitufl serpents head, then cut down the tree of good and evil. That way we could have avoided the Hitler, and JFK's killer(s) and we would all be living in the land of Happiness!!

Answer 8

As much as I'd like to go back in time, to medieval Scotland, I'd have to agree with Plum on this one. I believe if we could change JFK's route that day, that the man was going to do great things for this country, but he never got the chance.

Answer 9

I'd go back and watch over myself as a young boy, straighten out a few people that gave me a bad time, but I'd have to go back as a thirty year old.

Answer 10

This takes me back to one of my favorite movies, "The Dead Zone" based on a book by Stephen King. John asked his doctor, "If you could go back in time to Germany, before Hitler came to power, knowing what you know now, would you kill him?" His doctor, who lost his mom because of Hitler said, something like, "Knowing what I do now? Yes, I'd kill the son of a *****." When I think of all the little children, I'm with John's doctor.
