Because JFK's death led to the Civil rights act. I don't know if there would have been the political will to get that passed without his assassination. |

Ironic that this hypothetical is in the Religious forum and seeing how region is the belief in and worship of a omniscient and omnipotent higher being that would mean this post is subconsciously or subversively suggesting that God has made errors in judgment that need to be corrected.

Oops...religion not region. See, I’m human I’m fallible I make mistakes but presumably God does not make mistakes so explain the rationale for wanting to go back and change events that a supposedly all-knowing deity allowed to transpire. |
| I would encourage Hitler's painting and Stalin's writing. |

Years ago I tutored a little girl in reading. She was awkward and poor and teased, but we made good progress. I did it for free. One day her mom canceled our session. Then she canceled the next session. I thought she didn’t want me to tutor any more. I tried calling once and left a message.
The next time the mom called I let it go to voicemail, thinking she was canceling again. I didn’t check the message for too long (I’m terrible at voicemail in general), but when I finally did listen days later, the mom was trying to schedule a session. I never called back. To this day I feel guilty, and this was 15 years ago. That’s what I would change. I would have called back and kept tutoring this girl. I hope she’s ok now, and hope she figured out the whole reading thing. |
| I would save those kids that got locked in hot cars on accident by their parents from that award winning article. I would give anything to set things right for those poor parents. |
Oh God, yes, all kids that died in a tragic way through the history of the world. I am with you. |
+1 the toads that post here think they are going to either: 1. Show God they are just as good as Jesus and buy their way into heaven Or 2. Show those awful Christians who believe that the blood of Christ saves them that they don’t need Christ to be good people. However I don’t think anyone needs to constantly point out how great they are. You aren’t great. Either am I. We are human and have faults. Christ does not have faults, and pretending that we could have stopped John Lennon from being killed makes us like Christ is dum. Yes I left the b off because dum is even dumber than dumb. |
| I would do one small thing my grandma asked me to do before she died. It seemed tiny, but I wish I’d offered her that with a glad heart. |
| I would have gone back to eden and made sure Adam and Eve weren’t banished from the garden. That we only ate from the tree of life. If there were no bite of the forbidden fruit, technically we would be living harmoniously in heaven on earth, because, no sin. |
| Fix your CAPS LOCK. |
| I’d go back in time and poison LBJ’s beer so he wouldn’t let our Soldiers die in Vietnam so his wife could make her millions off her MRE company that supplied MREs to the Army. He was such a cold blooded and shameful man. |
| I knew someone who was murdered and I would try to stop the murder from happening. |

Old lady in a nursing home would make some weird noise every time we visited grandma. Like "shu shy! Shu shy!"
I finally figured out she wanted her shoes shined. I asked her, "do you want your shoes shined?" And she lit up, "yes, yes!". They were really dirty. I was afraid to touch her and get in trouble. I didn't do or say anything. I was just a little kid, but I still feel bad that I didnt' shine the old lady's shoes. |
| What would I go back in time to do? Commit the perfect crime. I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier. |
