improving the world

[blacktimberwolf]

if you could go back in time and remove something for the benefit of mankind / nature what would you do or change?

Reckon I'd go back to the time when when men first started to have the idea of becoming sedentary & politely persuade them that it isn't such a good idea but since they wouldn't listen to me, my second choice would be the chainsaw.

But if you went back in time to remove something to improve mankind, eg plastics, gunpowder, atomics or somesuch, you would then cause the paradox that would prevent you going back to remove something to improve mankind.

I'd like to remove greed and see how that worked out.

I'd remove the first post of this thread!

very late night last night (drink was taken), woken up by a very poorly dog this morning (he looks rougher than i feel), and then i get reminded that if i'm not careful then i'm going to prevent the world from ever having existed because i stepped on the butterfly that caused my grandfather never to have won the battle due to the lack of a nail (i did get that right didn't i?)

my head hurts

Wouldn't change a single Thing. especially war, with it I would not be here, and I lie being here

Well they do say that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger so i suppose if nothing else we are all proven to come from the survivor stock. The modern age should kill us all off though.

Difficult choice......a world without war or one without southey

I'd remove humans. Wouldn't benifit mankind but the world would be a better place.

Given that most of our problems are due to overpopulation we should start to limit offspring per couple to 1.

Ironic isn't it? The people who complain about the harm mankind does to the planet are the same ones who complain about the only efficient way to reduce mankind.
