Reply to: whose non-existence

[Dundeegeorge]

Well I'm flattered truly

I would nominate anyone who revels in pointless speculation , particularly if their opening gambit is the loaded rhetorical question. Hhhm, now let me think who that might be...

but I'd hardly call myself an historical figure, and in what way was the question loaded?

From Snaw
whoever invented reality television.

Good shout there, in fact to be honest perhaps Logie-Baird's ommission from history might be very beneficial.

Congratulations, you have been nominated....

Whose non-existence would most have benefitted the world? Which historical figure would you have drowned at birth to make today's world a better place?

Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Marx, Hitler & whoever invented reality television.

Leaders. Absolutely anyone who ever rose above the level of, say, assistant foreman or milk monitor.

I laughed aloud whilst reading that Xoggoth and needless to say a Leadership type in my office frowned and demanded to know in a caustic tone as to what seems to be so funny ?

Typical leader Belgian killjoy type,he will probably be running the EU next year I imagine.

Dont follow Leaders and watch the parking meters

No, he's saying if you take anyone out, you may not change the future, because the situation that made them important may just make someone else take their place.

That's what I mean...Adolth Hitler becomes....Jocky Wilson.....the future is changed! Can't see Jocky invading Europe

[expat]

So now we are saying if you take anyone out...You change the future, so don't do it

[AlfredJPruffock]

Why?

God told me to say Plato, otherwise no particular reason appart from I got bored to death once reading the Republic.

In that case, I nominate the entire New Liebour party

That is the one thing that would make absolutely no difference at all!
