Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

But then, you wouldn't have existed to go back in time and kill him.
But if you didn't exist to go back in time and kill him, then noone would kill him, and thus you would exist...allowing you to go back in time and kill him.
How about we just kill you, and we'll go from there?
YAY!! Can I pm you my details and my schedule for the next few weeks? Just give me a bit of a heads up so can get things in order

Just thinking...if "I" went back and killed him I could have been charged with murder and executed before I was born which would mean that I would be dead before I was born so the universe would end lol0 -

OK however, because of Christianity and it's politics/religion divide inherent in the faith(if ignored more than not) we'd not have had two separate strands of educated people and Europe would have likely ended up more like the Islamic world or China where there was pretty much only one route to education.Qualitymark wrote: »Hmm. Saul of Tarsus, aka St Paul, probably set up the largest amount of bloodletting in the world; a good candidate (if you think assassination is a good idea, which I don't, but I'll play this game for now).
I'd go further back again, find Abraham and blow him away. Stop all those middle eastern religions.
The second Europeans with all our viruses landed on that continent in any numbers the locals were pretty much doomed.Hernando da Soto, whose pigs spread viruses that killed off most of the indigenous population of North America.
+1Stalin, whose mass deportations, agricultural craziness and extermination of the kulaks (big farmers) killed millions.
I'm with you there, however without say Hitler we'd likely not have had world war two and without same we'd probably not be typing on computers as we speak, or gone to the moon, or fly on holliers in jet planes plus a shedload of other inventions. It really drove technology.Hitler, and all who rode with him, natch, and Mao and Pol Pot - and also those who set up the conditions that made people want to follow them. By the same token, those who negotiated the Versailles 'agreement' ending the Great War. And the stupid Kaiser. And the British and Turkish imperialists battling for world control. And the British who addicted the Chinese to opium, wrecked their economy by stealing their tea secrets. And and and
Plus when Europeans(not just the Brits) went into China it was essentially a medieval feudal state, barely changed in a thousand years. Outside of some areas(porcelain production etc) it was extremely backward in technology compared to Europe, as was it's economy.
+1000Those who reacted to the awful crime that was 9/11 as if it were an act of war rather than a crime by a small group of homicidal maniacs.
Much more likely they were just edged out, rather than wiped out. IT doesn't take much. A couple of extra kids per generation will do it. You have to remember we shared Europe with each other for ten thousand years and it seems lived happily together in the middle east before that for even longer and had kids together. If it had been a wipe out thang it's likely we'd see a much faster shift.Those who wiped out the Neanderthals.
It's all coming out now QOoops, for a pacifist I'm getting into this a bit too much. Will stop now. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
