    If you could change the world?

    So for some reason Ive been watching alot of shows on tv lately about columdine, 911 and all the other events in history that have changed the world.

    so If you could go back in time to one event within your life time where you could make a differnce where would you go?

    I would go to Columdine highschool and take care of those kids before they killed so many people.

    I'd prevent the genocide in Rwanda, or, obviously, 9/11. Maybe I'd do nothing, and let the world run it's course. I'd probably stop the genocide... but maybe things do happen for a non-random reason, and if I stopped it, things would turn out terribly. Like that Ray Bradbury short story where the guys build a time machine and they start taking people back in time for money, under the condition that no one touches anything... and then someone finds a butterfly on their shoe. When they come back, the world is in total chaos; civil war everywhere, etc. Maybe I thought about this more than I should have.

      I would respond, but I'd be breaking all the anti-politics rules... so I won't.

        I'd stop a friend from committing suicide. Or maybe go back like 12 hours and tell myself not to break out the 151. That would get rid of this hangover.

            I'd say 9/11, but how would you stop it?

            thats my question

            Would you go 'PLANES ARE GOING TO HIT THE TOWERS, ITS BINLADEN!'

            You cant be on a few different planes to stop them physically

                            I'd stop Chris from ever thinking of the Devilmag. And Tag for even thinking about making a board for us. And stop sluggos from going out of production.

                            I think that would cut back whining on this forum by 10%.
