if you could stop one thing happening

[sb666]

if you had the chance to stop one thing from ever happening what would it be

 

[dududf]

I'd stop god from making his first stupid mistake.

Giving a snake the ability to talk.

 

[S.R.S.]

My death? Or the Apocalypse. It would make me a hero wouldn't it?

 

[Rainboq]

The invention of the combustion engine, fat load of good that's done us.

 

[Larsirius]

My dad being killed in a car accident last year..

A philosophical option: prevent the human race from happening.

 

[drizztmainsword]

George W. Bush being president of the US.

 

[Jonluw]

I don't really feel like changing that much, but I suppose to be nice, I should have to stop the holocaust.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'd stop that oil catastrophe in the Gulf.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I'd stop religious and racial intolerance.

Or possibly squirrels....

I'd stop myself from posting in this thread.

Oh shi...

This image also sprung to mind when i saw this thread (It's a Jesus joke, not meant to cause argument, just for laughs - hence the spoilers just in case)

Spoiler: Terminator Gag

stop the metallica bus driver from killing cliff burton

or go back in time, and convince the egyptians to build their pyramids upside down

 

[Quaxar]

I'd stop you from creating this thread. Helloooooo time paradoxon!

I'd stop the Cold War from ending. That single 40-year period birthed so many technological achievements. Imagine where we would be today if it went on a little longer WITHOUT the conflict actually coming to full-scale arms.

(obvious rebuttal is obvious : we'd all be dead/super mutants)

Out of sheer fear, humans created, in one generation: the computer, silicon, space-travel, nuclear energy, and countless other innovations. While today we have some amazing technology, it has only been through implementation and refinement of the very things created during the Cold War.

Christianity

 

[cartzo]

global warming, sadly it's too late to stop Christianity, better to just roll it out of existence.

 

[Jackalb]

The invention of money. Bring back bartering.

Also Paris Hilton being born.

 

[Abedeus]

Christianity

?If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.?

So no matter how much you people ***** about Christianity and religion, there could always be a worse one invented instead of the current ones.

COUGH warhammer 40k COUGH! cthulhu COUGH other "Gods" that require sacrificed and military combat.

That whole English invasion of Ireland thing, perhaps. For a thing to stop in the past.

I mean, we'd lose some nice buildings on one hand, and we probably wouldn't be able to speak English as well as we do, but on the other hand, we'd avoid the millions and millions of dead.

For a thing to stop in the future. The sun exploding?

How odd that you'd say that. I'd stop the Catholic Emancipation and keep out Irish Ministers

No that's a joke, I'd like to say I would change a thing. Has Back to the Future Taught us nothing!

To be fair though, I'd probably stop Christianity. Saying this as a Christian myself, as nice as it is in the most part, the Dark Ages really over ride all the nice stuff...
