I am biased in favor of linear time because my upbringing stressed personal responsibility, and I love Terminator 2 and Back To The Future. But the closed loop theory is a good way of resolving the causality paradox. Know of any fiction that explores the closed loop theory?

If the thoughts in my head are the result of the random motions of the atoms that make up my brain, why should I believe them? Indeed, why should I believe that my brain is made of atoms?
Shocking Truth... Let's see.
Life is the meaniest ***** you ever encounter, she will stomp in your face several times before what you called a life is over... and you are also fat.

Meg from Family Guy is voiced by Mila Kunis. So not only is she not unattractive in real life, she's actually really really good looking
Not going to use a spoiler, as I don't know how, but if you're on the second page of this topic, you have chosen to read several of them, one more won't kill you.
There is good and evil in all of us, it is how we choose to act on them that defines us. If you don't believe me, think back. I guarentee you that every one of you has had the desire to do something quite detestable, like kicking a purse-dog, and all of you have desired to do something good, like giving a homeless man a twenty. No matter how breif the thought was, it was there.
To anyone who doesn't believe in the power of free will: since no one has any choice in what they do, shouldn't we elliminate laws because people don't have a choice, and so they cannot be guilty. if they don't have a choice, they aren't responsible.
As for the time travel thing, any time traveler has already changed the "past," so the past we know, is the result of any time traveler manipulation that will ever happen. Perhaps a time traveler put Hitler in power because someone who you've never heard of had the same ideals and purposes, but wouldn't have failed, because he was a better strategist, or maybe he would have fooled churchill and had Brittain on the other side of the war. There are more possible outcomes to time-travel scenarios than i can imagine. Every time I think about time travel, I think of a new way it could work. Maybe time will protect itself from change, maybe each manipulation will just create an alternate timeline, maybe time travelers would be in some kind of alternate space and would be unable to effect the timeline. the list goes on.

Under the assumption that every choice in the world opens up parallel realities, it is possible that somewhere...there was an Adolf Hitler who saved the world from Allies of Evil (read as "The United States, the UK, and whatnot") with his nation of freedom-loving Germans, Jews, and Austrians.
Enjoy
People who hate on anyone to the point of bringing them up in conversation are giving them free publicity.
Example: The Justin Bieber haters on this site. They make threads about him and bring him to the attention of dozens of people who would NEVER otherwise hear about him(or even worse, bring him to the attention of people who would actually be into his music)
It's free advertising, and a lot of artists thank you for that.
Also, spoilers drag peoples attention in more than not having it spoiled.

i never really like the whole travel back in time and stop something bad from happening. what if what you stop is replaced by something worse like hitlers 2nd in command making hitler look like a cuddly little bear in comparasion. better the devil you know.Sewblon said:
time travel is to complicated , risky and full of holes and loops for anyone to do it.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
