what would it be?

me, i'd prevent the titanic from sinking by giving the man in the crowsnest his binoculars. for 2 reasons: i love/d the ship itself, and to prevent the movie from being made, even though we'd lose a long list of spoofs. XD

Hmm, I would give SEGA a few forewarnings, of course this would probably screw up time.

I'd have asked that girl out.
Doesn't matter to you who she is. Though you might be interested to know she's a red head.

As cool as it sounds as a plot device, as easy as science-fiction novels tend to make it...the past simply cannot be changed, especially if what you are attempting to change is the *sole reason* you decided to do it in the first place.

By changing the past, you erase that reason...without the reason, you'll never make the attempt...which re-instates the reason...and so on, and so on, ad infinatum. A paradox is formed.

But for this thread's sake...

I wish I could go back to May 28, 2000. Some people don't deserve to die... ;_;

if you want to go back in time and change something, and then you do do that, you erase the entire reason for you going back in time, therefore, you will never have gone back in time in the first place, and therefore, not have changed whatever you were meaning to change anyway!!

Got it?

A paradox wouldn't exactly be the result. It would be the creation of an alternative baranch in the universal timeline. Buuuut...anyway...

Changing the past isn't something I'd do...unless its along the line of assassinating Hitler or something, but...whatever.

I'd prevent the birth of the advert executive who wrote the Klondike bar commercials.

I'd prevent the person I loved most in my entire life from dying...

--- I know I shouldn't have written that... sorry!
