You would have to stop the rise of Fascism from taking over Germany and Hitler was the figurehead not the cause....Hitler was the tip of that organisation, not the organistion itself. Killing baby Hitler is questionable as to whether it could have stopped those events. Far better than murdering a baby is to change the circumstances....make sure he enters art school. But the even bigger question centres around the discovery of the atom bomb. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Jan 2019 3.06pm) So we're time traveling to implement mentoring programs now? You're over thinking it chaps. Hitler lives, millions die, that's the only fact and I'm not sticking about until he's in his early teens to guide him through art school! It's all nonsense anyway. If I had a time machine the first order of business would be to travel back and sort out Lindsey Lohan before all the drugs and bad plastic surgery ruined her... So around the time of parent trap! (Kidding)

Time travel can only achieve so much.

You'd hold off killing HITLER in case it made matters WORSE? You must have a very limited imagination if you can't think of outcomes worse than the one we are currently enjoying. If you honestly think that killing Baby Hitler would ensure a better world then I'm glad that the whole concept is impossible.

Why do you keep calling my intellect into question over a completely hypothetical, some would say complete fantasy of a scenario? In your little time machine caper, don't kill baby Hitler mate, you spare him just in case killing millions of people isn't the worst outcome and then mentor him through art school, it's just an opinion you crack on. Dunno why you keep trying to take the high ground, it looks a bit mental to be honest.

[quote=Stirlingsays; But the even bigger question centres around the discovery of the atom bomb. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Jan 2019 3.06pm) I didn’t know it was discovered. Those ancient Egyptians clearly were more advanced than I had realised.

As a former teacher, I can state that there have been a few evil early years kids. I believe, very rarely, that some kids are predisposed to being c-units. That said, It would be more productive (and perhaps more morally acceptable)to kill Adolf's biological parents, just before they had time to breed. The Herod methodology didn't seem to do very well, and that involved the infanticide of perhaps many thousands.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

I suppose a more interesting and practical hypothetical is who you would kill in the present day. A few posters in this thread would be my choice

I just want to say a thanks to the mods. I appreciate the work and hassle they put up with to keep this forum running. Sure we all may differ on that or this decision but these guys and gals shouldn't get the hassle and grief I know they have received in the past. PS.....All fives...no tens.
