February 12, 200818 yr Christopher Columbus coming to America....simply to see what everything would be like right now if he hadn't come here. As Nelson Muntz said on the Simpsons, "If you hadn't done it, some other loser would have!" While Columbus did came to "America," there were European explorations of North America in the years before and after. Most likely another European would have eradicated the natives and set up colonies if Columbus hadn't.
February 12, 200818 yr I do have to say, it would have been pretty difficult to NOT have found America.
February 12, 200818 yr I would have given Bear Bryant a new car instead of a watch. :lol: Very nice - although I think I read recently that this is more myth than reality. However, bravo to you, my friend.
February 12, 200818 yr Changed the outcome of the 1st Battle of Manassas and saved 500,000 lives and ended slavery.
February 12, 200818 yr I would have allowed Hitler to come to power but not until all of these things were done : 1. he built the autobahn 2. he built the vw beetle or the "people car". 3. he built the berlin olympic stadium 4. he invested heavily in german infrastructure 5. he made the 1st practical rockets and cruise missiles. 6. made the 1st jet plane. 7. Great Advances in trauma therapy were made. 8. Turned a terrible economy into a world power in a few years. 9. Public schools I would not have allowed the Holocaust but I would have allowed him to get to power. I thought Marge passed away. :confused:
February 12, 200818 yr I am not going to get into a discussion on determinism versus free will...Oh, please do!
February 12, 200818 yr Author Oh, please do! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: I agree. I am having trouble falling asleep and I think that would be the thing to do it.
February 12, 200818 yr I'm torn, I want to say I'd make it so the nuclear bomb was never created, yet w/out it the world may still be unstable today. Perhaps I wish we'd never needed the nuclear weapons of today, so change whatever in history could allow that.

Kept satan out of the Garden.
February 12, 200818 yr I think the answer to yours would have been Larry's answer. Yea pretty similar that's for sure.
February 12, 200818 yr :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: I agree. I am having trouble falling asleep and I think that would be the thing to do it. I'd rather hear about Free Willy.
February 12, 200818 yr The founding of BGP! Just kidding Ru. Many very good ideas have been posted. Hard for me to pick one single event however.

Public schools I would not have allowed the Holocaust but I would have allowed him to get to power. WWII would have still happened then because 5 and 6 weren't really a reality until the war had been going on for a few years. Although 6 was actually closer to being done than 5 was prior to WWII.
