If you had the chance, would you go back in time?

Actually, there were quite a few native americans that were slaughtered. I believe there were nearly 100 million of them, maybe more, It was an attempted genocide that came very close to working, there are many tribes that no longer exist. It's actually a miracle there are even any that are left around.

As for small pox, that was intentionaly exposed to them once Europeans realized they had no immunity, as a tactic of biological warfare. Read up on Sir Jeffrey Amherst.

Also, are you sure the natives were the first to attack? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just want a source, because..well I do kind of doubt it, but maybe that's just result of me being affected by white guilt inspired propaganda.





As for the question, yeah, i would go back in time, and I would try to change things in my life that didn't turn out quite the way i wanted to. And, I would go to a horse track, witness the race and see who wins. Then I'd go back in time, bet a rediculous ammount of money on the race since I know who wins. I would repeat this process until I'm insanely rich. (kind of Inspired by Back to the future lol).

i wouldn't go back, i'd go to the future

I'd go back in time and beat the crap out of my dad, so he can tell me stories about how some kid that looked like me beat his ass when he was young. It wouldn't affect history in any way.

That, or just go along with Sailboats idea only I'd go much further back in time and start stealing some priceless artifacts, including ones said to be missing. Spear of Destiny and Shroud of Turin anybody?

I would only observe. I've thought about how intense time travel could be; it's very interesting.

I'd do what I need to do. Cause let's say you are suppose to steal an artifact which led to one of your ancetors to look for it which let's them meet up with your other ancestor and get married. Now if you didn't then well no you then.

Thank you! I been saying that all along and nobody listened! And i never said they were slaughtered.But thanks for seeing what I was saying, and that's a good idea you've got there.

Its not that we dont sympithize(lol terrible speller)

Its just that even the slightest change could have a huge effect one your life or the life around you. Say you did go back and saved all those people. Now fastforward a bit into the future, one of their sons or daughters has a child of their own. When that child grows up, he could just as easily kill one of your ancestors and thus you would cease to exist.

Or perhaps as a result of an event you changed, some sort of meeting never took place. If said meeting never took place then all that resulted from that meeting, directly or more importantly indirectly could have a very huge impact on your life.

What if it was a result of that meeting that had some effect on your parents getting together?

You may be fine with ceasing to exist; but what if its someone you deeply care about? Who knows maybe because someone you dated changed their lifes for the better which would result in something spectacular. but with out you, it never happens.

Time is a terrible thing to mess around with.

I would love to join you and prevent such a tragedy.

I just fear what the outcome is.

Ok i can see where your coming from. I think that maybe I should just stop talking and then everyone would be happy. * Shuts her mouth and stares expectantly at everyone.*

It depends. Are you talking about a type of time travel in which you replace yourself (where you have the body of yourself in that time (if you go back to a time that you exist) but you have the memories and mind of the you that traveled back in time), and that if you did something it would create a parrallel universe in which the time stream was changed from the original.

If that be the case I'd go back to the day that my friend Rachel told me that she liked me. I wouldn't F up with the second chance. I'd get to be with a girl that I really like.



But It also depends if you are following the Paradox free method of time travel, which states that any time you go back in time, no matter what you do, the time stream will not be affected. Everything would be the exact same no matter what, because you were ment to go back in time and do what ever you did to make it happen, even if it is unintentional.

In that case it doesn't really matter what I would do. I guess I'd go back and be a knight in midevil times, it wouldn't really matter as nothing would happen to the future.


EDIT: let me refras the top part. If I could replace my former selfs mind with my currant one, I'd want to go back to when I was 10 and get my first kiss. The girl moved away the next day anyway, but I can garuntee that if I had told her that I liked her to, then I'd have my first kiss. But that's all. I wouldn't be in a pre-existing relationship.

I Dont Know What Id Change, Like My Life Hasnt Been PERFECT But Im Still Alive, So ya know!!

I'd go back to the point when Sakurai decided to take Mewtwo out of Brawl and bludgeon him until he agreed to keep him in. :glare

I showed someone this before, but I don't think I posted it:

Man Travels Time With Proof

I'd go back about 6 years ago, tell myself to study and ask out that girl i never did ask out. Found out she quite liked me as well.

I would also go back and find out if there was someone behind the grassy hill in Dallas, be a laugh. And i would also find out other things as well and visit many other places in time, like Ancient China, Egypt and would go back and try and stop George W Bush from becoming president.

Yeah. For my use to change something I did in the past and to experience other times.

I would go back in time to fix what I have done. I would go and never say what i said to my friend that made us not be friends anymore. (But were friends again now.)

Hmm... Isn't life funner if we'd have to discover our futures gradually and bit by bit, savoring the relationships that we share with our friend, family, and love... I'd just stay put where I am in time ^_^

Yeah...that's not convincing at all.

Yeah I agree with him. Sorry but it's not that convincing.

personally if i had the chance i would go back in time. I would wanna go back in time to when the world was first created so i would know the real story on how life and th eearth was created instead of just stories and what people thinnk happend.

I would like to do something along the lines of that as well, but something like that can be dangerous, I mean who knows maybe in the end you created earth or the galaxy from a single accident or if god exists then accidentally running over him and stopping the galaxy from being created, you would just need to be very careful.
As for a desired time I would like to go back into ancient Roman times. There is so much information that was destroyed back then and I would be able to study it. Of course I would probably have to be careful as well and also I'd have to learn the Italian or Roman language.
