See my boy Crispus start the Revolution

I assume I can throw a snowball in this hypocritical

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 07:51 PM

do you mean hypothetical. yeah you may.

I fantasize about crap like this all the time. it is a brain teaser, and I am surprised not more people participated. no wrong answer, no right answer just having fun.

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 07:52 PM

so many places in history I would love to observe. hundreds of them, many of them involving wars.

**deltgen** · 02-05-22, 07:53 PM

I ponder stuff like that all the time dante. Sure, there are some obvious and easy answers--I'd like to spy on Jesus; check out George Washington; try to get into the mind of Ben Franklin (and by the way, read up on that guy. He was a freakin' genius.) But then I think I want to get a little more small scale. I'd like to see what the people were doing on my exact coordinates 100 years ago. Two hundred years ago. A thousand years ago. I guess I'm just as interested to check out everyday people and the way they lived their lives as I am to see the people who changed the course of world events

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 07:54 PM

you know I think the reasons so few answers is I forgot that you can interact but not change anything. you can speak with the people involved. yeah that was an important part. you can't change anything but you can get the perspective of the people in that situation.

like speaking with Hitler the last day of his life in the bunker. talking to his wife and getting their mind set just before they killed themselves.

this is the stuff I am writing about, exactly. how about walking around with Jesus and his crew. listening to him speak, touching his wounds.

I always thought if there is a best answer and there really isn't. but if you struggle with belief and religion how about this one. watching the crucifixion and waiting around for three days and three nights.

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 07:58 PM

being an observer during the battle of the bulge, or the attack on Pearl, watching the assassination attempt on Hitler by his officers.

riding with Alexander the Great as he conquered a huge part of the world. so many places.

**Demonata** · 02-05-22, 08:09 PM

I would go see my stepmom.

**JIBBBY** · 02-05-22, 08:10 PM

You do not want to go back in time!!

Think about just the early 1800's in America for example -

No antibiotics for infections and you will not get a well rounded diet. You get a bad tooth ache you drink and they pull it with pliers. Everyone smelled like shiit and the girls were hairy, no deodorant and very little bathing. No plumbing and electrical. Plagues running wild. Lawlessness was out of control. Etc...

I LIVE FOR THE FUTURE NOT FOR THE PAST. NO THANKS!!

I'm kind of with you there. I certainly have struggles with religion as a general concept, but I do believe that Jesus the man existed, and he was a great man who (regardless if one considers him a deity) has left us with some great precepts. Unfortunately, there are some who will even deny his existence, so not much to be argued there.

**MinnesotaFats** · 02-05-22, 08:13 PM

I'd like to see if I'm actually my parents kid...I'd wanna spy on them a lot now that you mention it.

Ok Fats--you made me laugh. You just changed the thread from a somewhat intellectual level to a more commonplace deal. Go ahead brother--watch what your folks did.

**hehfest** · 02-05-22, 08:24 PM

1. Fly in the plane with Bubi Hartmann during the dogfights.
2. Sit in the tank with Michael Wittmann.
3. Go to the camps to see that the Holohoax was just that; and see what it really was which was jews actually having to do work or labor since they don't today.
4. See how intelligent Heydrich was as he was the turning point in the war. If he doesn't die, the Germans likely would've at least made that war last another 5 years.
5. Watch the slave rebellion led by Spartacus
6. See Grace Kelly nude

we don't want to live there my friend. we just want to observe and participate in conversations. Imagine speaking with the greatest philosophers in Greece. hearing knowledge that is long gone and not even recorded. you miss the point, of course nobody wants to live in the past. but to observe in person. that would be a huge charge for me.

lover of history right. Whitman was a great Nazi tank commander. good one.

however I would want to kill Heydrich. what a bastard.

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 08:36 PM

so how about this one. most of you have some knowledge of the internal combustion engine. how about spending some time with Ford during that time period. you know there were a ton of auto makers GM, Chevrolet was an actual inventor of autos. and many others. just imagine watching them produce an early car. knowing what you know which might be more than they did. that would be fun.

If I could just observe I'd go prehistoric or early human civilization. Let's see the cavemen and Dino's!! Love to see how the old school humans built the pyramids and or moved 10,000 ton stones + into prefect carved structures..

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 08:39 PM

the wright brothers, the robber barons during the IR people who had more power than the president. speaking with great sports stars. so many interesting events and people. if you think about it all of you can produce probably hundreds of scenarios.

a great one, I never even thought of this particular example. would be wonderful to watch those stone giants go up. see if aliens were actually involved.

**thetrinity** · 02-05-22, 08:48 PM

Fats has the right idea here. More practical things would be useful. Watching family members and things like that. The grassy knoll would be interesting though.

**hehfest** · 02-05-22, 08:54 PM

See Jesus walk on water, turn water into wine, throw over the money tables, resurrect, bring Lazarus back to life.....just chill with Jesus all that time.

That would be cool to see the journey of Jesus up until they took him prisoner and beat him like a rabid animal and hung him on a cross alive..

That's right

Including this well known manufacturer of another product

Yeah- they invented the Diesel engine

exactly, and hang around three days after the crucifixion. watch a rebirth. that will straighten you out once and for all--right?

**jackpot269** · 02-05-22, 09:20 PM

If I could only choose one it would be hard to say, maybe not, to see and hear Jesus speak even if you don't think he is the son of God He was a great teacher and he split time!! if it were unlimited most History events from above and a bunch more!! To go back and see my grandparents as young people would be interesting. All the lost cities of the world in the bible and other wise. Egyptian pyramids while they were being built see how they moved those rocks . Seeing the wild west. Marylyn Monroe and her ever interesting life.

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 09:21 PM

how about talking to Judas right before the betrayal. some religious leaders are now saying he was not the bad guy. in fact, some say he was ordained to do what he did by Jesus. makes some sense if Judas didn't do what he did well everything else that comes later would not have happened.

maybe the guy was a hero.

so good! did you see the special on TV a few days ago about MM. she was one sharp gal. and beautiful what a great show that was.

**dante1** · 02-05-22, 09:26 PM

if you could watch this. you will find out some unbelievable facts. another shame.

Reframed: Marilyn Monroe (9 p.m., CNN) - This year marks the 60th anniversary of the death of film icon Marilyn Monroe, and this new CNN documentary series revisits her movies, marriages and career to uncover the themes of feminism, sexuality and power that continue to drive our cultural conversation. The four-part series, inspired by the book “The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe” by Sarah Churchwell, is narrated by actress Jessica Chastain and features a cast of female voices (and an all-women editorial team) including Joan Collins, Ellen Burstyn, Mira Sorvino, Amber Tamblyn, Molly Haskell, Alicia Malone, Angelica Jade Bastien, Christina Newland and others. The series combines rare archival footage with first person accounts from women close to Monroe. The first two parts air tonight and the final two air next Sunday.Read more at: https://www.newsobserver.com/enterta...#storylink=cpy
