Yep

Balkan rebellion against the Austrians was going to happen regardless of whether Ferdinand was assassinated or not

I’d kill Karl Marx 5 minutes after he was born.

Gordon Hayward's half court shot against Duke would have gone in.

No JFK assassination= No LBJ as President, no war on poverty, no Vietnam and no Gun control act of 1968 which created ATF.

In 1998, I felt like one of these type events happened for the civilized world-



Thanks to Bryce Drew’s heroics, every year in March folks worldwide can remember to goof on the best Ole Miss basketball team ever.

I don't know how I would prevent it, but that detail wasn't presented in your hypothetical. So if I can simply play God, I would prevent the meteor that crashed into the earth and wiped out all the dinosaurs.

I kill whatever fricking idiot walked out of that Wuhan lab to start the spread of the Kung Flu on his way to work that day.

...Or if he ordered it, President Xi should be executed North Korean anti-aircraft firing line style.

destroy the elite ruling class of politicians


Yes, nobody like an Ivy Leaguer who summered at Hyannisport and wintered on Palm Beach to clean up the political elite.

Are you fricking kidding me? The Kennedys epitomize the ruling elite in America. Plus, Jack didn't have a reformist bone in his body. He had to be dragged politically to support the Civil Rights movement. You think he was going to clean house?

There's a reason Slick idolized Jack Kennedy. They both believed in one thing - themselves.

I'm going to go along with those saying the Kennedy assassination. It just seems like the polarization of both parties might not have become so pronounced if he had served two full terms.

Saying the K assassination is fine, but it has nothing to do with today's political climate. O'Dumbo would have still been elected.
