Would You Kill Baby Hitler? Thread

Will really there was no WW2 the period between the wars or atleast for some countries was just a cease fire.

Its a hard question. If Hitler was killed as a child (which would be barbaric if someone did) i would think the world would be A LOT different. But theres no telling if it would be better off without him. One thing that never happened in the past could lead to a massive chain of events. So the world could be better of, or it could be a lot worse. So i'm voting for "I dont know"

Well I would not kill him, but i would certainly keep him away from his father.
His father abused him. A lot of adulthood insanity can be caused by former child abuse.
(He was a megalomaniac)

I would certainly have kept him off the streets. Before he was a dictator, he was a hobo.
Stressful things such as being homeless can drive some people over the edge.

I wouldn't necessarily kill him but i would try to keep him to where he is raised like the average kid.

@Aperture inc.
I would try to change history, without causing the evil of taking life.
(WW2) I wish i had my grandpa back.
Im sure you know somebody with relatives who died in WW2.
And thats a lot more than me, because over in America (Where i am sitting atm), Its all like [WE WON WW2} but one thing that people dont realize is that Russia took blows from a lot of germans, and Russia did a lot of the effort to stop Hitler as well.
So more died I believe.
I would try to make it so nobody died.

I think all that America won mostly on its own was against the Japanese.

Wow Blaze_k your stupid.  All he is saying is that usually traumatic events such as being homeless can push people to do things,murder,rape etc.

I'd like to think we all have the potential to become an evil person like hitler ... hence it is that important to treat people with respect and kindness unless there are very good reasons not to.

I mean, I once saw a documentry where they watched his home movies and used lip reading to figure out what people were saying ... historians said he acted eerily normal in his life. He didn't act insane ... he was defending what he thought were his countries best interests.

That suggests that Ideals and Mental anguish can corrupt regular people ... we are not immune to becoming bad, we're just lucky we grew up in a situation in which we haven't ...

Raised under the "right" conditions? Yes! ... Even if we don't all have the potential to become as bad as hitler, we need to treat each other as if that can happen because it is undoubtfully possible someone could ...

That's why treating others respectfully and keeping a sense of general sense of peace (especially children) is so important!

People are like sponges when it comes to the attitudes and ideals around them. If they're around happy people they become happy, if they are sad, they become sad ...

Its pretty much the same for ideals as well ... however, once an ideal is conditioned in someone, contradicting ideals become harder to accept.

I would not kill him, because if I did that would alter time and I probably wouldn't be born, and I like being born. It would also be impossible because of paradoxes.

It's the difference in potential, I'd say. An adult has had the chance to make their mark in society and achieve some things on their own, a child still has all that ahead of them. Really, it's quite a primal thing - at a primitive level, if you lose a few adults (especially adults that have already produced children) the pack/tribe will probably survive. Lose infants and the future of that pack/tribe is in much greater trouble.

Actually to me it's a matter of that the adult can defend themselves and the infant can.  The bigger question is on the opposite ends of a spectrum.  Why are murders that have killed babies than murders who have killed the elderly.  Really again Murder itself or atleast in my opinion is human ideal in that is is techanically used in killing someone unlawfully in society.  Where as a Lion can kill an animal just for being in it territory,food etc.(Yes some reasons are in laws but Lions will kill for unexplained reasons.) Really don't know why I used Lions but just an animal that popped up.  Sorry to rant

Even disregarding the question of how it would be physically possible to be "you" of a different race by changing the events in the past, my first reaction is still ...

"Wait Wat?"

I was pointing to the fact that it sounded somewhat racist ...

war is great is some aspects
