Why do you need to time travel to do this? Slavery still exists today. Why don't you put your energy into stopping that?

You'd have to go back a long way for that. Slavery is almost as old as mankind.

I would stop the assassination of Lincoln. It would be interesting to see how differently things turned out had he been around to preside over Reconstruction.

Seriously? Only one person said 'the birth of Muhammad'?!

Think of all the historical violence that would have been alleviated... starting with his 'conversion' in Medina. And before you scream, 'racist'... Islam has claimed a helluva lot more non-Europeans than white people.

Nothing. My very existence, as well as the existence of my children is predicated on the exact sperm fertilizing the exact egg at the very time it happened. Who's to say if I were to go back and say stop the Kennedy assassination, that somehow the entire sequence of events that followed would have lead to my parents banging on a different night or not at all, and then I'd have never been born.

Really? THAT is what you would stop? How would you even carry out such a plan without massive human rights abuses?

How does religion hurt you? If you don't believe in it, then don't practice it

I would go back one minute and stop myself from getting in the time machine while shouting, "How you like me now Space-time Continuum!"

I would stop John McCain from being shot down over Vietnam. Then he wouldn't have had to spend 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton, would not have achieved "war hero" status, would have gone through the rest of his mid-life years probably screwing-up, and would probably not be a senator today.

Win-win for everyone.
