I thought the first thing i clicked on that XD. I would probably have myself deleted.ThatLankyBastard said:
Wow two people already said Adam. That was my first instinctive answer as well.
Since we don't know if there really was an Adam, I guess a more realistic answer would be good.
I can't think of a single person I could delete that would prevent the fall of Rome as it was kinda a very long death spiral. Any large historical figures would probably have to many large implications throughout history and quite often they might be more negative then what originally happened. I heard once that if WWII didn't happen we might be increadibly overpopulated by now for instance.
So I would probably look up and find a pedophile that had confessed to molesting tons of children (or a church member I guess), find the one that harmed the most lives possible and delete them. It would be a small change but a completely positive one.
That or if I could figure out who first started to bring slaves into the U.S. (I know slavery was in other parts of the world, and it developed from indentured servitude...but someone had to start importing slaves from africa) and delete them.
Of course that would probably wipe out all the African american's in our country that exist right now...so that really wouldn't work either (just don't like the idea of slavery and think it's a horrible part of this countries history), so well.....if everyone would still be born that is currently alive I'd do that....otherwise I'd just go with my first choice to play it safe.

Chairman Mao. If you have to delete someone from history, why not the largest mass murderer in human history?
what? de-create the guy that brought the world out of the great depression, when nothing was working, and nobody had any functional plans? skipping the evil, there's quite alot of good that he did that still reflects in the world today, even his evil had results that changed the world for the better, that, probably woulden't have, if not then, but much much later.Jezzascmezza said:

i would delete jack thompson. why does he exist? i dont know
then again, without the russain famine and the trading with the nazis, mr S. would not have made a massive army from all the money made, we would be having american propaganda being shoved down our throats, and possibly in aa nuclear war.toriver said:
Sir Archibald Butt, a long-forgotten important person with a very ridiculous name. The only thing I know about him was that he was aboard the Titanic when it decided to take an unscheduled bath. I would delete him from history because he shares his given name with my surname and I got "verbally abused" pretty badly for it when we read about him in Grade 3. I don't care what he did to earn his knighthood, I want him gone from history forever!
That would be assuming the US would try to take over the world in the absence of a counter-balancing superpower. Funny, in the 20 years since the US has become the sole world superpower in its own right, I haven't exactly seen that happening. About the nuclear thing, I think what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was quite the effective deterrent to the US pulling out the nukes again unless some other nation used them first. I don't see your scenario happening.NAHTZEE said:
This girl who sits behind me in my psychology class who's not only incredibly dense, but loud. Bad combination that makes her a prime candidate for deletion.
