No, the implications of my event would forever change the timeline of man in unforeseen ways. I certainly do not have to right to perform such an action.

This link accurately sums up my feelings on the whole kill baby Hitler thing. Since there are far too many variables at work and could just as easily backfire up on you.

Only if my method of killing could be to consume him whole in front of a room full of people, only for me to vanish back into the future as soon as he was completely in my body. If I'm going to fuck with history, I'm gonna fuck with it somethin' fierce.

To kill a figure of such historic importance could forever cripple us in ways we cannot imagine. Now the USA not constantly trying to relive its only true major military victory would probably be a good thing but god look at all the things round the word we attribute to the war. The fact the cold war never went nuclear is a testament to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The current EU might never have become possible. NATO might never have been formed. The cold war might never have happened.

Yes by removing Hitler before the second world war ever kicked off could have saved millions, prevented the holocaust, but, what would have happened if we had never learnt those lessons when we did? What could we have done without the ability to look back on what happened?

Id much rather have the history we know, no matter how dark it might be, than risk provoking something far far worse.
I was actually thinking of this situation today after seeing another thread and thought the exact same thing. Imagine if the nuclear weaponry was perfected before Hitler came to power, we could've had a nuclear holocaust on our hands that would be far, FAR worse than WW2. As terrible as the war was, it gave us a very strong historical lesson, I'm not sure I'd trade that off for an uncertain future (or even the present).

If you go back in time and kill baby Hitler, some other asshole will rise to power instead of him and do pretty much the same thing.

I would go back and kill Uwe Boll before he decided that he needed to turn video games into atrocious movies. Either way a bad German man dies.
Give this man a stout mug of Jagermeister.

I'm not sure.

I only exist because of the events of the world that transpired. It's unknowable whether the existence of hitler's life could have possible negative implications for me.

The world needs a non-religious and still relevant figure to hate on.

No one remembers him for the wonders he did for Germany in morale, economy, and pride. No one remembers him as the man who led a nation on a near-continental conquest out of sheer charisma. They simply despise him because he lost the war and was the most relevant person to direct hate on at the time.

Anyone who finished Code Geass R2 should be familiar with this concept.

Also, to quote the Dark Knight:
"Because he's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...the Dark Knight"

No, as killing one man you think you'd save history, but with the millions saved x2 30 years of population who knows what other disasters could have happened because of over population, what person might start what new war or new atrocity...


To man factors. History happened...leave it be.

I would kill him, but WWII did help the U.S. out of the depression by creating jobs and the world learned a lot from the war.Plus I play COD so....

Nope. By altering the past, I would be changing the future in which I attained my powers in the first place.

No, I wouldn't. There's no telling how the future will be affected and it could turn out to be something far worse than what happened.

No. What would happen if Hitler died? WWII might have been prevented, or it could still have happened. Hell, we might have actually had to go against someone who actually listened to their generals. If WWII never happened, who knows what today would have been like? We might have have nuked each other multiple times if it weren't for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Absolutely not. It's easy to say yes without thinking, but can you even really picture yourself killing a baby? I bet you can't even really consider how you would do it...at least I hope you can't...
Anyway, butterfly effect etc. etc.

Also, this songs lyrics sums it all up nicely:
Time travel will be
the death of man,
only the devil fools
with the best laid plans.

No.

Because World War 2 dragged a number of countries out of an economic depression and was a huge leap forward in technology and medicine.

As well Germany would have snapped eventually anyways. The war Guilt Clause was horribly crushing. It pretty much condemned the country to an eternity of poverty. If it wasn't Hitler someone else would have eventually made a move.

World War 2 is an important time in history. As much as we wish it had never happened its very important that it did.

I would kill him if he was in his teen years and not have a problem with doing so just to see what changes in the time line I am interested in that sort of thing but I don't think I could Kill a baby or a child.
