ladiesbballcoach Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Being a teacher, I have to put a little educational bent on this what if scenarios. You have the power to change ONE HISTORICAL EVENT. What would it be? Example: you could have the Titanic captain change course and everyone survives and we don't have to spend 2 years listening to Celine Dion. Example: you could prevent Hitler from gaining power in Germany. Example: you could have stopped the first slaves from coming to the US and stopped slavery for every. Example: You could have had Pilate release Jesus instead of Barnabas. Example: You could have prevented Mrs. O'Leary's cow from kicking over the lantern. Example: You could have stopped the terrorists at the airline gates on 9/11. What would be the one historical event you would have changed?
Watusi Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 From a humaitarian view, the 2004 earthquake and tsunami that claimed over 275,000 lives would be pretty high on my list.
Royal Uncle Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Roe v Wade would have gone the other way.
ladiesbballcoach Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Roe v Wade would have gone the other way. Very nice, me of ALL PEOPLE, how did I miss that one in my examples.:irked:
LRCW Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I would have given Bear Bryant a new car instead of a watch. :lol:
Dlbdonn Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Hitler would have been strangled in his crib , but Lbbc If Pilate would have released Jesus instead of Barabbas how could mankind have been saved ?
Theoldguy Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I would have stopped Eve from eating the apple.
ladiesbballcoach Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 I would have given Bear Bryant a new car instead of a watch. :lol: And paid for Pat Summit's travel expenses.
TheDeuce Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Simple...Those cowards would never have gotten on planes on 9/11/01.
TubbyCAT Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 There are many that I would love to change. I wander how the our world and the United States would be different if President Abraham Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy had not been assassinated? How the course of our nation & it's destiny could have dramatically changed had these two GREAT men not been murdered.
Jim Schue Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I don't know ... maybe the JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations.
StepYoGameUp Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Simple...Those cowards would never have gotten on planes on 9/11/01. Agreed.
rockmom Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Not to be too technical here, but there were slaves for thousands of years before they arrived in America.
GaViking Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I would have stopped Hitler and the concentration camps like Dachau. Also, if I had a choice 9/11 would never have happened.
