Back in time

[4getmenot]

I was watching 9/11 programme last night which got me thinking if I could turn back time and change just one thing in history I'd stop that. But then I thought if I rang the prime minister as if he would listen to little old me, so that was idea was out. Then I thought I'd stop Ian Huntley getting hold of Sarah & Jessica but then he'd only go on to ruin someone else's lives and killing him would only get me in trouble. So in the end I settled for stopping Thomas Hamilton getting into that school in Dunblane on 13th March 1996 to stop him shooting dead those poor innocent children and schoolteacher. So my question is if you go back and change 1 moment in world history what would it be?

think it would have to be the 9/11 attack, the day that shook the world!! !!

[dilligaf]

Top Adolf before he started WW2.

[stylinsam]

oh and id MAKE the prime minister listen to me w&$^^&$%ER

[mccfluff]

not sure, every action has a reaction and to change something however vile, could stop something good/important happening!

[4getmenot]

I dont think he would Sam as he was warned anyway and didnt listen. And dilligaf you'd be put away.

[4getmenot]

yes mccfluff I can see that 9/11 made us all aware of terrorists. but Dunblane wouldnt change anything.

[stylinsam]

dunblane- it could of happened again by someone else!! everything happens for a reason!!! :o) morning 4getmenot, how r u this fine day xx

[mccfluff]

if you mess with the past, you change the future tho and as sad and horrific as dunblane was, would don't know what would happen if you change it

oooh can i throw a huge spanner into the works little sis.
following on from mccfluff. Say you managed to stop some awful event where a lot of people got killed and thus changed history. If would be great if just one of the people saved went on to do something for the world, invent a cure for cancer or something wouldnt it, saving billions of people?
But what if you found that one of those you saved then went on to become a terrorist and did something horrific that killed more people than youd managed to save that day? Would you ultimately feel responsible for those deaths?

[loobie]

I'd go back in time to stop Tony Blair even thinking about going into politics!!!!

[redcrx]

But if you knew that nothing would ever change then thats lovely that youd try and save those poor little children x

Morning 4getmenot! If I could change one moment it would be the day that some smart alec scientist discovered how to create the nuclear bomb,which now terrifies every nation whenever a war looms.

[Matheous]

Have any of you checked the 'alternative' theories on 9/11?

Regardless of the Twin Towers 'precise collapse' -What brought down WT7 -which wasn't hit -so precisely ?? Fires don't make buildings like these come straight down.

So are there any of you guys out there who work in controlled demolition who have studied the footage?

[mccfluff]

Flip side Pink, how many wars have been deterred because of the threat of nuclear weapons?

[PinkFizz]

Hi Mcfluff! I mean that somebody somewhere at some point will launch one of these bombs,whether there is a war or not - imagine the devastation.If it didn't exist this could never happen.

[PinkFizz]

p.s. Good question 4getmenot!

[mccfluff]

ooooh playing devils advocate today!, but Pink the holocaust, how many millions died, and not down to nucclear weapons, its man that's the problem not the weapon!

[4getmenot]

well i thought it was Pinkfizz but only 2 people have actually answered it. :-) And matheous, what?? Where's all this structure stuff coming from? I just asked if you could change one thing then what. I'm not getting all scientific

[mccfluff]

I am answering 4getmenot albeit in a roundabout way

nothing

[PinkFizz]

I agree mcfluff,but the question was to name just one thing,and
