Poll: If you could go back in time and kill one person who would it be?

[New Troll]

Remember the original ending to Butterfly Effect?

Do they show the original ending on FX? If not, please explain.

OT: This^, The hell if I want to keep going back in time to make things "right". It seems tedious.

Spoiler: Original ending is still kind of hinted at in movie.

He goes back and kills himself in the womb, giving his mother yet another miscarriage. Coincidence?

 

[grimsprice]

Well preferably

Hitler

/thread

I believe there are rules against that in place [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlekz83hawz?from=Main.HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct].

But on topic, no one. It would either cause catastrophic events or do nothing. Time travel's a finicky thing indeed.

ah. no. tvtropes. i got 5 tabs up before i realized you are terrorizing us... had.to.close.them... ok. but yes this is true.

I would go FORWARD in time, steal a time machine, then go back and kill whoever invented it. Then reality would collapse

Are you describing an ontological paradox? It could work, if the machine you stole in the future was the one you left behind after killing the inventor. Then it would still exist, but have no origin. Cool.

Hellenion.

(Wait... How would you travel to the future in the first place?)

by sitting on a park bench and twiddling your fingers...

 

[Harvey Starter]

I would kill myself just to create a time paradox that would end up ripping apart the space time continuum, dispersing the very essence of the universe and destroying everything that is, was, or ever will be .

Why would I even do such a crazy thing you ask? Simple. If I'm going down, I'm taking all you bastards with me! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

 

[grimsprice]

Recently, i found out that Time Paradoxes don`t exist, acording to asian-white-long-hair-scientist-that is always on Discovery and National Geographic-dude (i can`t remember his name right now).
He said that if you went back in time and killed your grandfather before your father, you would still exist because you killed your grandfather in anouther dimension, not the one that you are originaly from.

With this in mind i would probably go back in time an kill myself when i was writing this, here.
Just for the fun of it.

michio kaku. he's awesome by the way.

 

[Monshroud]

Ya know, I have been thinking about this and I think maybe we need to think on a smaller scale. I might go back and kill Jack Thompson or Tim Langdell.. How? Hmmm.. Probably cut Jack's throat with a broken GTA3 CD, games can kill you ya know.. As for Tim... I would use an 'edged' weapon of course...

 

[BolognaBaloney]

i would kill the group of romans who set together the bible just so that dam book will never been made.

Except romans never wrote the Bible...

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Walt Disney

 

[elilupe]

I would *try* to kill Hitler, but, according to Lost, everything that happened, happened, and there is no changing it. So id probably end up getting killed or captured in the process.

 

[rs2000]

Everyone on The Mayflower If not the people who discovered America anyway.

Good luck killing vikings, even with your superior firepower.

Not to mention any other dudes that made it there but aren't written into the history books.

The Viking race were not the peoples on the Mayflower, they came a few hundred years after the fact, i think your getting confused between the Vikings discovering Vinland which is New Foundland about 6 years prior to Columbus.

The People on the May Flower were british & came from Plymouth & Newark (near where i live) Hence the Plymouth Brethern. They were the Puritans who burnt the "witchs" at Salem.

 

[hamster mk 4]

If I could go back in time I wouldn't kill anyone, but I would place bets on sporting events I knew the outcome of and invest in stocks I knew were doing well in my time. That way I could return to the present a rich man.

 

[Hazy]

Remember the original ending to Butterfly Effect?

Where he

Spoiler

Killed himself with his own umbilical cord?

OT: I wouldn't do anything that may drastically alter the future.

 

[cjbos81]

Already done it.

There was a really bad guy in asia who was going to kill a billion people. I went back in time and smothered him with a pillow.

Your welcome!

 

[Ima Lemming]

1. The guy who invented chewing gum.

2. Because there is nothing more irritating than people going around snapping their gum, particularly right in your ear while you're standing in line.

3. Well, since I intend to do it before he actually invents the stuff, suffocating him with his own creation wouldn't work, so I guess I'd just break his neck.

 

[red the fister]

Adam, you know, the one from "teh bible". i'd killz him b4 he pissed of Lillith and take his place and just laze around Paradise banging the Hotti-Prime.

(edited for this--->) how? hhhrrumm... !!! with a red, pointy pitchfork through the skull. and i'd blame it on the snake...

My point was that, once you got past the Western European colonists, Scandinavians knew about the New World a thousand years before Columbus.

 

[Korono]

Did anyone think of not killing anyone because of the moral problems with killing a person? Like, screw time paradoxes. I don't want to commit murder.

 

[MarcusD357]

I would kill Ronald Reagan. I don't know why. I would kill him with a clean slice to the Jugular vein

 

[Kuchinawa212]

1. Who would you kill?

2. Why would you kill them?

3. Which way would you like them to die?

I'd kill Hitler

He told people to hurt a lot of innocent jews and they did

hmm... gun shot. Make it quick.

 

[atomicmrpelly]

I'd kill George Bush.

But on the way I'd prevent as many rapes and murders and other crimes as I could!!!
