Subject: It is 1944, You are in a room with a man and a gun.

If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

He has a bag over his head, and is not talking.

There is a 50/50 chance that this is one Mr. Adolf Hitler, do you shoot them?

Simple as. Do you shoot a man if there is a 50/50% chance of ending WW2 a year early?

EDIT: People have missed the point here, it isn't what will the future be like if you kill hitler early, it is Would you take a 50/50 chance to kill him and end the war early WITHOUT any future changes.

I'm sure that if he was killed it would change the future/present but the point is a moral dilemma not a 'what if?'

Hope this clarifies it.

The war ends in less than a year, why bother?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Think about how drastically that would alter history.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

But it won't be Hitler, because Hitler wasn't killed in 1944 by a man with a gun in a room with a bag over his head. The only way you can say that it's a 50/50 shot it's Hitler is as sort of a Schrodinger's Hitler statement.

Also, I would shoot Toby twice.

The war has already gone on for years and ending it a year early would save many lives.

What could it alter by ending the war 1 year early?

Precisely. The damage is done. At this point N@zi Germany is going to get pounded into the dust anyway.

Because it might be Bane.

And because that spoils the point of the question.

Well the whole nuclear development thing seems like a big deal.

There's still Japan to be dealt with.

Hmm, Good point. But say the only thing that would change is all the lives lost between 1944 and 1945. Would that alter what you do?

  • 12.23.2012 8:41 AM PDT

Simply put, no.

I'd take the bag off his head to make sure obviously

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

Preposterous. I will not be aroused from my Cyptum for another five-hundred years.

Think of the millions killed in that time, including civilians killed in the atomic bomb and the Russian raid on Berlin.

No question. Kill him.

It was originally made for the Germans.

And then used on the Japanese because they were able to defeat the Germans conventionally. Then they didn't want to commit the genocide that would have been the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. Besides of you kill Hitler in '44 you remove his terrible decision making towards the end that helped the Allies win.

From the moment Bob's birth-cord was cut, every girl's hymen has belonged to him.

There must have been a dildo in that Wii control they found
For when they shoved it up his ass, he began to walk around, aaand
Chad Warden the fanboy, was as ABAP as can be
But the -blam!-es say, that he was mad -blam!-, and talked -blam!- on PS3

No. Hitler was awesome.


hehehehehe 6 zillion jews goyim americans will believe anything us evil jews come up with
