Ok i can take each of you back in time but for one trip only so what day would you go to and what would you change?

Assuming big things like WWII and 9/11 can't be prevented, I'd go back to see if there really was a King Arthur. I've always had a fascination with him.

i'd go back and film the last days of christ......if there was such a man so right or wrong i could prove something about organized religion

70's man.... make love not war!

I'd tour the middle east in around 10,000 bc and write my name on everything, so that no one would ever fight over who's land it is, because they would all know that it's mine.

That is the best idea I have ever heard. xD

I'd go back and throw a cup of water over Hitler's crotch just before he was about to go out and deliver a pre war rally speech.

Then I'd continue on my trip and show Jesus Christ video footage of Paul Daniels turning water into wine and Copperfield flying through the air, say "top that" and run away laughing.

As i was passing through, I'd tell bob marley to take it easy on the self abuse and then push Yoko in front of Lennon at a very precise moment.

Then I'd stop off on the way home to assasinate all the bad presidents and protect all the good ones.

It will be a busy morning.

What does your time machine look like? Is it a Deloreon? or a Tardis..............

Mine would be a soiled matress in a shed.

Wow, Beat - you have some pretty damn good ideas. Love the Hitler one, by the way! Trip him up on stage - the ensuing embarassment will cost him his self-confidence and eventually the war (again).

OH WAIT WAIT NO I've got it - I'd go back in time about three weeks, walk up to my past self, give him some flowers, and slap him - he'd go mad trying to figure out what the hell happened. And then a few weeks later, he'll be offered the chance to go back in time, and he'll get revenge on himself. *headache*

I very, very nearly got my physics "there is no time travel" freak on but then thought better of it.

I'd go back to the times of cavemen and strategically plant twenty thousand Apple iBooks in their caves with full batteries and instructions on how to replenish these batteries, just to see how the world would differ if iBooks were the first thing man invented. I bet by today we'd have chocolate goldfish, hovercars, the works.

Either that or I'd go back to ten years before Shakespeare was born and write all his plays, so that it'd actually be me that's the world's best playwrite, not him. I'd also include a few subtle hints to the future, hence:

Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, wherefor art thou Romeo?
Romeo: BRB
Juliet: LOL

and

King Lear: All your kingdom are belong to us.

and

Macbeth: Is that a dagger I see before me?
Lady Macbeth: no, it's ur momma. PWN3D.

That sort of thing. Sheerly to see what net culture would be like if all these key phrases already existed.

Yeah, basically, if I went back in time I'd be a total and utter nerd and not actually make the world a better place.

My God, I'd love to see what would happen. That MacBeth line was a killer.

just as long as it doesnt contain the phrase "ur gay" 8000 times. that would suck.

Well if I could go back in time, I would kill all of the ****ing apostles (if they exist...) so we don't end up with : The Inquisition, Thousands of murders, Atrocities commited by POPES, all those wars, the United States, and The Passion.

yea that or i'd go back to '98 and win state, if only coach would have put me in 4th quarter

well arent you just a wonderful ray of sunshine.

that's right, it was jesus and that love your enemy crap that started all the violence. it's not like people ever killed each other or slaughtered rival civilizations until that damn jew and his peace, love and mercy crap turned everyone into psychopathic killers.

and dont even get me started on america...

I have to point out, I think it's ironic that Wij seems to be against the USA and would rather if it hadn't come into existence, yet if it hadn't, his favourite movie, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" wouldn't have, either.

Seriously though, I know people are entitled to their own opinions, and I respect that, but there seems to be an awful lot of anti-Americanism lately. I think it's a bit unjustified. If it's because of the war on Iraq and so on, you have to remember that not every single American was in favour of that war - it was about 50/50, if I remember correctly.
And besides, some people who aren't Americans were in favour of that war as well. And while I myself was in the "the Iraq War is bad" camp, I have to admit, it did get rid of Saddam.

What makes me laugh is a British Anti-American, though:

"I fockin' hate the yanks - they're fockin' mad. They're **** LOL" etc. Then they go off to play their American-made video games and listen to American music before settling down to a nice American-made film starring their favourite American actor.

What always makes me laugh is when people get so stcuk on hating america that they start defending the scum of the earth, just because it gives them a chance bitch about those damn americans. Why shouldnt a psychotic bastard and modern hitler/stalin like kim jong il be allowed to get nukes? if the americans can have them, everyone should, right?

Or when they start blaming america for the problems of other countries (particularly those caused by corruption and tyranny in the governments of said countries) and then complain about the US policing the world whenever they try to do something about it.

And remember after the tsunami, when the US sent in all kinds of aid, inclyding food, supplies, the friggin navy and national guard, and of course, millions of dollars with even more on the way? do you remember how many people and officials of various governments and organizations which shall remain nameless then complained that it wasnt enough? well how many of them are going to help rebuild new orleans and the rest of the disaster area? how many billions will they send? how many teams of doctors and engineers are they dispatching? hmmm? most of them arent doing much of anything. we get help from a lot of countries in the middle east who are desperately trying to improve their image here, and a bit from some of our closer allies, but the people who kept naggin us to be more generous certainly arent leading by example.

it's pretty hard to find consistent anti-american rhetoric that isnt either hypocritical or morally bankrupt. and that's fine with me, nothing like shooting fish in a barrel.

I take a lot of the US-bashing in stride, you have to. With all the faults that the US has people forget what we've done for the world. everytime there is a humanitarian effort or genocide going on we're the only ones who offer our money and our manpower. The rest of the world is content to let 3rd world people kill each other off and we're trying to stop it, give the people a choice.

If any of the "US Bashers" actually lived here and saw how we are the Jealousy or misunderstanding or whatever it is they have about our lifestyle would be quite a bit differnet.

Only in america can our own people question government openly and critisize those in charge. Only in america can you openly "hate" the country you live in and the government that runs it and still get help if you need it. People against the Iraq war, including myself to some extent, only see the "Americans want oil" aspect they can't see the fact that a few years ago women and those not in power where treated like dogs and killed by the thousands and now in Afghanistan and soon in Iraq they'll be voting and have civil rights for the first time. Go ask an Afghan woman if the US is bad.

It's true. At times like this, people show their true colours.

I'm not in the least bit anti-American, but even if I wanted to be, I don't think I'd have any right, as the US and Britain are so similar - it'd be like the pot calling the kettle black.

Seriously though, people should start to think before they speak.

U suck

Your post count and Daytrip's Member Number are one and the same.

that means we're both too cool for school

Damn - I wish I was too cool for school.

I hate to bring this love fest back on topic, but if I had a time machine I would go back in time and help a little man invent a little something called Microsoft.

that or invest in a fruit company

I'm not anti-American, I'm anti-American government. Americans are lovely, I've yet to meet one that hasn't been the model of politeness, but the people who represent them (you know who I mean... "him") are fools of the highest magnitude. George W Bush is actually so stupid that I can feel my IQ plummeting whenever I listen to him speak. I'm not one of the naive crowd who think that pulling out of Iraq right this instant would solve every single problem in the word because it wouldn't, but what I honestly do not comprehend is the way the US is arming the world, only to go back and de-arm them with force. If you want my opinion, nobody should have nuclear weapons. It shouldn't be a case of "all or none" - there is no "or". In instances of threat, America and the UK are just as dangerous as the middle Eastern countries that are supposed to be lunatics and whathaveyou.

You may as well just cut out the middle man and go way, way, way back and offer to be Satan's birth partner for when he was giving birth to ol' Bill.

Can we try and keep the politics to a minimum

I'd LOVE to travel back to the time of the Romans!

Just because it was the greatest era of all time!

So please Caamora4 take me!!!

With petrol costing so much these days it will cost a pretty penny to travel to ancient Rome, i should really install a fuel cell.

If you are going, do you think you could drop me off at King Arthur's house on the way? I'll chip in for petrol money.

It's only a model.
