If you could travel back in time would you kill hitler as a child?

could you do it?

Answers:
What??Are you mad and deprive the World of all his wonderful paintings and sketches. So he was a bit controversial in a few other areas of his life but you can't take away the fact that the boy had talent/
no, id make sure the art school accepted him this time.
nope, as much as the murder of 6 million hurts, mankind learns from its mistakes and that sort of hell would be replayed again and again.
Dafur would happen all the time without outcry
no
no, I would do it as an adult.
If you can, read the book Kiss Kiss by Roald Dahl. There's a great story re: Hitler as a child.
Nope. Everybody has the capacity to kill. Been to the poultry section in the supermarket? A century or more ago you had to do that personally. Where do you think the ' Citizen Soldier ' comes from? Next case!
No, I would want to get to know him first:-) So many unanswered questions about him:-)
well I'm not so much a subscriber to the Great Men of history- as much as Great Movements- so if it wasn't Hitler it would have been someone else. it was going to happen that way (in my opinion) whether or not it was Hitler per se.
No I would just tell his mother to get an abortion. Also wanted to add, that even if you kill Hitler, there would still be some moron who would take his place and brainwash all the morons during that time in Germany and lead them.
No. Hitler and the Nazis have taught us so many lessons about evil. The world wasn't prepared for their kind. We are more prepared now and that is a good thing. Saddam Hussein was tackled more quickly than he would have been had there been no Hitler.
maybe.
I COULDN'T BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW THAT WOULD CHANGE HISTORY------WOW----DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE ON EARTH RIGHT NOW??

AB
no dont kill him ,,we,d have loads of gas to use up
No, no point coz then there would be no reason to go back in time, coz he would be dead, then you wouldnt kill him coz he never grew up to do horrible things.but then if you ddint kill him he would grow up to be horrible again, so then you would go back and kill him as a child.. only for him to not grow up and... blah blah blah. get me?
Its called a paradox.
I would win the lottery tho!
I would adopt him and try to give him a better childhood so he would not grow up to be evil but if the he was all grown up and he was still evil then I would poison him.
There was a twilight zone episode or outer limits about that.
The woman went back in time to kill hitler when he was a baby. She successfully stole the baby, and jumped into a freezing river with it. The father new his wife would be horribly saddened so he stole a gypsy's baby and passed it off as their own.
The gypsy's baby was Hitler the entire time.
Moral of the story. You can't change the past because you don't know if you have already changed it.
yes.
no. everyone has the potential for good. he wasn't born a killer. he chose his destiny.
No someone else would just come and do what he did, plus who would kill a child even if they were going to be one of the most deadly psychos in history?
no because it would make to much of a radical alteration to the time line so who knows what events may have occurred, as long as we all learn from the past and make sure that the same mistakes do not happen again
No not really, things turned out fine in the end didn't they?

For all you know we could have skipped out the second world war and gone straight onto nuclear war instead, having not learnt the lessons of how bad war can be from the 2nd world war we would still all be thinking war was great.
That depends. If, by killing young Hitler, nothing bad happens, then I WOULD do it. But, if there is the SLIGHTEST chance that someone EVEN worse would come along, then--NO, I wouldn't.
No, but I would perhaps would have ensured that some of the later assasinations attempts were succesful. So that we would still learn the lessons learnt or simply not have someone else replaced him.
No I could not hurt a child! Children are innocent.

I would find a way to get close enough to him once he came to power and kill him before he could start the war.
yes.
no, without hitler the world today might have been different.
No, I'd send a whole army back to the time just before he invaded the UK. Only, this army would have infinitely more advanced weaponry and would crush his pathetic (by comparison) crusade against the world. I mean, if you could travel back in time, you could travel into the future as well and pick up a few war machines before actually going back to Hitler's time.

The UK would not face near-obliteration and would not have to be saved by the American's. We'd win the war totally independently and then cure the world of the Nazi's and save millions of Jews along the way. Then we'd live happily ever after! (It sounds like a fairytale, doesn't it).
This question was asked during a Jack Nicholson film about werewolves, I forget the name of it. Knowing what I do now, no. It is not up to me to decide whether people should live or die, no matter how it could impact the lives of others. Perhaps Hitler was no good, but what if he fathered someone who impacted the world by his actions more positivley than Hitler did negatively. What if several generations later, after we are gone, one of Hitlers bloodline did great deeds. By killing Hitler, you may have done more damage to the future than good. This is why I answer no.
No.

Hitler was a horrible person and committed heinous acts, yes. But, those acts also resulted in a lot of actions around the world. WWII pulled the US out of the depression and anchored it as a super-power. It gave the Jews more power in the world, eventually. The world learned a powerful lesson about the mania a single man can cause, which hopefully we will carry with us into this century. I am not saying that the millions of lives lost were worth all of this knowledge but at the same time, the world would be a VERY different place without him.
Hey "bob" what do u feel al-kayda (I don't give them the respect of using capital letters and correct spelling) has to do to "learn"? U think they learned from hitler or hitler was ONE of their teachers. Let me see here; 6 million people = Darfur? Not on my abacus!
By the way; we wouldn't kill the little guy today. Put him on Ritalin and send him to "social skills" classes. That seems to solve....
....what?
