If you could change anything in history?

[peteyt]

If you could change anything in history what would you change:

It can be anything e.g. prevent a war from happening but it can also be preventing something that happened in your own life etc.

Ah, that's easy for me. I would of prevented my dad from smoking with the chance that he would still be alive today, or possibly get him seen by a doctor at a medical centre or hospital so they could of discovered the health issues sooner rather than later. Purely self-determinating events I can't think of any global events at this point in time that I would change - you cannot change greed.

I would go back to the ---MAD--- era and stop the change to rep power that was implemented at the time

I am not sure I would change anything because i'd fear what could have occured instead.

However, if I could look at what would follow from that change - i'd look at preventing the British government from involving itself in World War I and II which would have then prevented (or I hope, again you'd have to see) the collapse of the British Empire and everything that has followed; the entry into the EEC, the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the destruction of the education system and so on.

On a personal level I have no idea.

the sexual revolution of the 1960s

Daniel, you don't support the sexual revolution?

If I could change anything in history it would be for the last rulers of the French Monarchy to have escaped properly from France before they were apprehended and ultimately killed in hopes that they would have returned and successfully took order over the country soon after.

No I don't, I don't think a marxist movement which led to all different forms of sex being put into everyday life (radio, television etc) along with legalising abortion was a good thing in the slightest.

The family suffered, the Church suffered and the country suffered.

Dan you really are the worst libertarian ever. Increased social autonomy is a good thing, bigoted dogma is bad, yet you fully support broken systems which uphold the latter and erase the former. You really need to choose which side you're on at some point

I was thinking this, Daniel! I agree with Tom!

I'm libertarian in method but conservative in personal view hence Libertarian-conservative, I wouldn't legislate against any of the sexual revolution material (publicised homosexuality, pornography) even though I find them deeply damaging and distasteful. I would try and reverse them in terms of social attitudes, but that process ought to have nothing to do with the state.

bigoted dogma is bad

I apologise for being bigoted in that I think children shouldn't be exposed to sexual references on the radio, the television and in conversation.

So bullying people into thinking a certain way is ok as long as you aren't in government what
