Also I'm probably as old or older than you. And yeah chances are the web of alliances and hositility in Europe means something else would have most likely triggered the war. But there is no guarentee of that. Unless you are somehow trying to claim that the assassination of the Archduke didn't start the war, in which case you need to learn some history.

HeroDelTiempo17 03/16/12 4:25:00 PM #39:	From: Paratroopa1 \| #025 Wouldn't stop any assassination even if I didn't die. Who knows what the consequences would be. Any assassination of an important political figure causes a huge ripple effect of both positive and negative consequences, even if the person assassinated is someone we revere as a hero. Hell, some people are revered as heroes because they were assassinated. This. I'm mostly fine with the timeline we have now, thanks. I mean Franz Ferdinand is a potential chance to prevent two world wars but who even knows what that would cause later down the line. Certainly not world peace. -- http://img.imgcake.com/AitchDeeTee/panicdancegifta.gif http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:916872] in If you cou...

Paratroopa1 03/16/12 4:28:00 PM #40:	Yeah, I mean, wars suck, don't get me wrong, but once all is said and done, a lot of good things can come from war. Western Europe is pretty stable right now, and I don't know if it would be had it not worked things out through two world wars. Would I want to change the course of history so that neither world war ever happened? I think the consequences of that today are more likely to be bad than good. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:916873] in If you cou...

There's just so much more you can accomplish by being alive than by being dead, and even if something good came of your death, you would never know so it might as well not have happened. <cite>Takfloyd_mkII__ posted [p:916877] in If you cou...

There's just so much more you can accomplish by being alive than by being dead, and even if something good came of your death, you would never know so it might as well not have happened. There's so much more THEY can accomplish by being alive than by being dead, too. And I care about other people so even though I may be dead, other people will live better lives, and that's enough to justify it From: Paratroopa1 \| #036 The impact of his actions is already felt enormously, could he really have done more had he not been made a martyr? MLK isn't a hero because he was a martyr. The civil rights movement could have "ended" much sooner, and it could have gone much farther. He could have been a huge voice in other fields, as well. Occupy Wall Street could have been really interesting with a man like him.
