    anyone who has made a significant impact on society, who would it be?

    For me it would be Simon Cowell.
    His slew of 'reality talent' shows have killed creativity in television and music, and left us with hundreds of untalented idiots clogging the airwaves.

    The man that shot and/or ordered the killing of Michael Collins.
    If Collins had have lived, this country could be so different right now (maybe?)

    And if Roy Keane had stuck around we would have won the World Cup in 2002.

    Do you mean in connection to his discovery of America?
    He didn't really. The Vikings and Scandinavians alone got there before him and brought back word of its existence.

    You'd have to go back and wipe out half of Europe to do that, with the Romans, French, Germans and scandinavians for starters.

    You know Simon Cowell is still alive, right? As in, you don't have to go back in time to kill him. You could knock him off right now if you wanted to badly enough.
