If you could go back in time and save one man, who will it be????

[Braznor]

Just a logical stream of though from that other thread of mine.

So who will it be?

For me it would Caesar. Then I would have done away with Augustus and become the Roman Emperor :evil:

 

[captains]

doc

oh wait he read martys letter and saved himself....damn

 

[wvtalbot]

Nobody, you have no clue what the reprecussions would be. Imagine if you save Jesus come back and everyone is worshiping a guy named Bob.

 

[Dualist]

I would go back in time and save Lincoln.

Hey! I do worship BoB! Praise BoB, and all things BoB-like

Mozart. Because then people would stop saying "When Mozart was your age, he'd been dead for 10 years" or whatever.

Also, he wrote great music and we need all the great music we can get. :music:

 

[Hammerhead]

Bob Marley.

Chris Farley

Hmmmm....The one person is easy. My Uncle George.

But to stick with the theme of the thread:

Pres. Kennedy
Princess Diana
Sam Kinison
Chris Farley

 

[Feldenak]

Pres. Kennedy, that way he'd no longer be a "martyr" and the proper amount of blame for Vietnam could be placed at his feet.

 

[Lola]

you're being a little sexist, no?!


PS, i don't think anyone could have saved Jesus. He died on purpose and he knew his fate. plus, he didn't have to be saved. I think his "dad" had that taken care of.

PSS, i would have to probably choose Lincoln.

 

[Tu13erhead]

Where is teh poll?

 

[alanalafriz]

Hitler....

exactly. who knows what would happen.

imagine going back in time to save Abraham Lincoln. When you get there, you accidentally kill a wasp. in the normal course of history, that wasp would have landed on a horse and stung it, frightening the horse wihich made it run. that horse was carrying a man. the horse runs through the town and comes to a fence next to a farmhouse. the fence is too high for the horse to jump so it stops right away. the man riding the horse flies over the fence into the yard of the farmhouse. the daughter of the farmhouse's owner see this and comes running out to help the man. this man and woman are your great great grandparents.

now that that wasp is dead, your great great grandparents never meet, the end result being that your great grandparents, grandparents, parent, and thus yourself are never born.

i'm sure it could even be worse and more complicated than that.

Stonewall Jackson. (Just to see what effect it would have had on the outcome of the Civil War)

time travel is illogical, as far as modern science is concerned right now.

I'd save Marilyn Monroe, so she can thank me over, and over, and over again....

Answer is simple:

The South would still get its ass kicked.

According to Christian belief, Jesus' death and subsequent resurrection saved people from being doomed to an eternity of punishment in Hell. So if you wanted to doom mankind, saving Jesus would be the way to go.

But therein lies a conundrum: since Jesus' death and resurrection were part of God's master plan of salvation for mankind, and since God wouldn't want you mucking up His plans, and since He has the power to make sure His plan succeeds, you'll never be able to do this. So in the final evaluation, Jesus' death would be unpreventable even if you had a time machine.

Therefore, I vote Sid Vicious.

It would be hialrious when you save Sid Viscious from a drug overdose, so he can die of a drug overdose 3 days later.

Same with Chris Farley.
