If you could "delete" one person...

I would pick... my ex-girlfriend because her pitch voice pierces my ears and she causes grief to my current girlfriend and myself. This is just my personal choice, and probably there are better choices, but still

Personally? I'd have to think of whoever was able to stand in the way of me gaining the ability to run some sort of fascist regime, once he'd been dealt with, I could 'delete' anyone I wanted.
No point getting a taste for it and then being left to dry.
No one. Sure, they're are people out there that really suck, but I don't harbor any hate for them. Hell, even the worse person in the entire world (yes, I mean that literally) Mathew Thornhill wouldn't get deleted as, without him, I would not be where I am, and all the good I have done and the lessons learned would have never happened (hell, maybe even the person who I, with some help, convinced not to kill himself would be dead right now), meaning I would be a much worse person than I am.
But do you honestly think it would change anything? Suddenly you have an inquisition storming your house because you aren't worshiping Zeus. The Dark Ages were because of the collapse of Rome and the loss of it's knowledge, and Rome collapsed for reasons much deeper than simply Christianity popping up.Deshara said:
Erase a single person from history?
Cain
He was the first man to slay another of his own kind. All violent thought stems from his sin.
Non-religious people however are a different thing. There's so many bad people that did so many bad things. However, instead of removing one of them and thus maybe creating another, worse one; I would choose to delete myself. I can't deal with half of the shit in the world anyways.

I can't decide between Rihanna, Taylor Swift, or that woman from Sugarland. Are you sure I can't have three deletes? My ears and brain cells could really use the break from their awful voices and stupid lyrics.
As evil as he was, probably best to leave Hitler alone.
Einstein already tried that... Not a great idea. First comes Stalin trying to take over Europe, and then later the USA gets invaded by bomb dropping blimps among other things. And then after that, the tables get turned on Einstein as he gets deleted himself and then not only do have have the previously mentioned bomb dropping blimps to deal with, the Japanese show up with a insane psychic schoolgirl.Jezzascmezza said:

It existed before someone made it a "rule" that was why it was made a rule, it just lacked a name before. Sorry you would still be drowning in Disney porn.ThatLankyBastard said:
I would be much more selfish with my deletion. A specific person that took something special from me, that probably would have had a profound effect on how my life turned out.
Yes, it's all about me, but isn't that the point of the deletion anything else would be to massive to stop it completely by simply removing one person from the picture. It's like trying to say that removing Leslie Richard Groves from the picture would have prevented the development of nuclear weapons because he headed the Manhattan project. Even if the US failed to develop the weapons the Germans or the British would have. The British had a long head start on the US when the project started as did the Germans. It was the vast resources the US could muster that ended up with the US pulling ahead in the race. Not one specific person, or even a couple of people. The project employed over 130,000 people at it's peek.
A very sane and logical choice. I too would have a hard time "erasing" Hitler because I think we'd be lucky to be having this conversation without him (Technology grew by leaps and bounds from WWII).toriver said:
While on the topic of erasing progress, I wonder what would happen if Bill Gates got erased? I wonder if we'd have broken the 1GHZ barrier yet in personal computing.
As for my legitimate choices, I'm just going to throw some names out there: Fred Phelps, Jack Thompson, Bobby Kotick, John Steinbeck (I fucking hate his books I had to read in highschool) The Pope (Blessing cars doesn't make you a good religious leader, it makes you a politician), L. Ron Hubbard, Thomas Eddison (Tesla was way cooler), Whoever made the shows Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City, The Fox exec who canned Futurama and Firefly (and to some extent Family Guy, but they're dead to me now too) My state's governor, George W. Bush, Al Gore, and lets throw Michael Moore in there just for fun.
Madeline Murray O'hare. Because seriously, fuck her and her ugly mug and her special brand of hatemongering. Ditto for Fred Phelps.
Honorable mention goes to:
Christopher Paolini
The fellow who came up with the ending to ME 2
Susan Smith
The bloke who coined the term "furry" in its modern incarnation
BANANNA PHONE
That retarded old fart who sits on my doorstep and tells me to cheer up all the time (cookie for the reference)
That guy who I caught feeling up my horse
Everyone who had anything to do with The Tangerine Bear
Carlos Mencia
And whoever cancelled Pushing Daisies.

I knew someone would do this.katsumoto03 said:
OT: Probably Bobby Kotick. I think Activision would benifit from his disapearence.
I would say Justin Bieber, but really, I'm afraid of the consequences. Starting with the enormous lavish tributes and ceremonies in his honor, then the next wave of Justin Bieber wannabees will flood in to fill the gap in the market and...well...I'm terrified.
I dunno. Maybe Barack Obama. Not because I hate him or anything, just to watch the Secret Service, and then the rest of the U.S completely flip out as to what the **** just happened to the 'most powerful and delete-proof man on the planet'.
Also, I think, considering the computing terminology, that perhaps 'Undo' would be a better term than 'Delete'...Just saying

EDIT: Yeah, I get it now. In that case, probably Stephenie Meyer. I want this whole 'spunky vampire' thing to just go away :'(ThatLankyBastard said:

Actually, what i meant by "Delete" was that they were never born in the first place... just saying...Capt. Crankypants said:
I was actually going to say Barack Obama though, I just decided not to because I thought I be troll'd for it
I would delete whoever granted me the power the delete things. Such power should not exist! Though wait, if the person who granted me this power was deleted, I never would have gotten the power to begin with, and thus he never would have been deleted...ah shit. I suck at this game.
