    Changing my own past would change my personality, which would kill me. So I wouldn't do that one. Then again if there were things in my past that would kill me or somehow seriously disturb my life in the future, I would change them. I can't know that, yet, of course.

    So ultimately I'd go with the lottery jackpot. I'd pick some lottery off somewhere with no foreign country limitations. Possibly some billion dollar jackpot in the US. I'd go into my near past (like a few weeks ago) and give the number to myself there. Then, I'd enjoy my new life.

    As a commercial says here, money doesn't bring happiness. But the stuff you can do and get with all that money, does.

    A little deep here, but if life is affected by decisions, and there is no fate, then you never know what the world would really turn out like if you did some of those thing, because becoming a billionare could indirectly send the rest of the world into a dictated poverty...

    But with ^that^ taken away, hell yea, send those lotto numbers my way :money: :grin: :money:

    How about this... you couldn't tell yourself the lottery numbers because *insert half-assed reason here* and that's why.

    The lotto thing is kind of a cheapy.

    By taking one step backwards you'd have to live through your whole life again, well not your whole life but the life you turned back, if that makes any sense. And considering there is nothing in my resent past I'd like to change, and I wouldn't want to be much older than I am at this present time. So I think I'll pass turning back time, or atleast save it for later.

    Actully what would be really fun is to be able to live a whole day or so knowing that you are going to turn back time at the end of the day, so therefore live through that day again.

    If I could guarantee that it would change almost nothing about the way I am today except for improving greatly, I'd step back a little less than 5 years and not let my then-girlfriend go without a bigger fight.

    [​IMG] Ask this girl in Physics class out (without going back in time), and if it turns out badly, go back in time.

    Good idea, Oaz; I might do that too (but it certainly would be a different girl) :p

    Prevent the establishment of Democracy and develope on Karl Marx's theory of Comminsm to make it work practically with no human corruption spoiling the broth. Establish complete human equity and abolish anythoughts of discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Have one big nice happy world. Not too much to ask, is it?

    Break that bullies teeth from primary school, and put the boot to all his little minions (I was twice the size of the little s*ites, but there were also around thirty of them [the entire class]) If only I'd known if I beat him down, the other little p*ssies would have ran.
