If you could erase one person from history who would it be?

Besides Hitler.... because its too damn obvious, not that its a bad choice but variety is nice.

Think Pol Pot would be a decent choice personally, dude was sick. Though there is a ton of answers for this and they dont have to be evil or have committed crimes against humanity to be picked.

 
Jeffrey Dahmer comes to mind.

Harry Truman or Lyndon B. Johnson

Myself.

Nobody, I'm a strong believer in the butterfly effect and i'm happy with my life now.

George Washington

Your mum.

Vlad The Impaler? But without monsters like him would we really have an idea of how terrible humanity can be; and more importantly - how critical it is to prevent true evil?

Thomas Edison. History is full of men like him who just so happened to win despite being second place to their breakthrough. The difference is he would just patent the shit out of it like a shark and win through pure dickery instead of losing like he goddamn should have. Seriously fuck that guy. And we'd still have all that stuff we'd have today, especially AC current thanks to Tesla. In the end all he's worth now is a topic for elementary school kids to learn about the lightbulb or some shit like that.

@LordXavierBritish: I don't think many people (even atheists) deny his existence. It's the status as deity/immortal they have an issue with.

Dude. You erase one person from history and you can change the entire fate of the world! You can't go back and change things!

I find it pretty funny that i spent all my day watching Stein;gates (anime about time travel) and the quick look today where they start to talk about time and today i found like 3 topics about time

eve, men would me running naked in the garden of eden if it wasn't for her!

I wouldn't erase Hitler!... That way we wouldn't had the magnificent "Inglourious Basterds" movie!

@shinigami420: Oh and the time_lord is here asking for cures for the flu... i suppose that means there never will be one lol

(assuming the myths are true) God.

I'd probably choose something that would butterfly like a mother fuck maybe Jesus,Buddha or Muhammad .

You!

Probably Genghis Khan, Stalin or Eichmann.

Or that damn bully who used to beat me up in pre-school.. It's a hard choice, really.

Who ever first started up Fox News.  If it was more then one person, Bill O'Reily.

Bobby Kottick. Dude eats babies.

Hadrian.
 
He started the halt of roman expansion, which began its collapse, and I think it would be interesting to wonder how the world would have ended up with Rome never fell.

I thought it was fairly established he actually existed...whether he was the son of a deity is up for debate though.

Bill Gates. And in another timeline, Steve Jobs. Where would we be without one or either of them? That would be an interesting thing to see.

If Red Alert taught us anything, it's that even erasing Hitler might not be a very good idea.

Mao without a doubt.  
Greatest mass murderer in history and the reason China is a cultural wasteland even today.

the obvious answer is my father, so i wouldn't exist 
 
but i'll go for "My father, so i wouldn't exist"

Dom Quinto. 
 
The inventor of the leaf blower.

The guy who fucked the monkey and gave us all the wonderful gift of AIDS.

The person who told me to move back to Germany...PROBLEMO solved

Mr Caffiene

Mr. Caffeine

edit: shit i was beat by ten min.

rupert murdoch

The person who invented the "Cami Secret".  
 

I would say Jesus, but he is only a part of a bigger problem. All of the myriad "Abrahamic religions": Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have caused incalculable destruction in the world. There is no evidence to verify the Abraham story, so I'll just say whoever within the tribes that later became Israel created the Yahweh mythology. That person should be erased.

I'm tempted to say Stalin, Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc, but at the end of the day someone else always steps up to fill the role of evil motherfucker.

In the same way, removing a particular religious figure is just dooming the world to a different, equally dumb religion (all hail Buble, our crooning Canadian Overlord!)

So keeping all that in mind, the only fair thing to do with this incredible power is to be completely petty...so I'd remove my ex-girlfriend Melissa; can't fuck around on me if you never existed, hey bitch? BAM!

I'd probably choose something that would butterfly like a mother fuck maybe Jesus,Buddha or Muhammad .

What a quote... "butterfly like a motherfucker". I'm gonna use that so much now.

Jeanne d'Arc.  Though If I could just make someone die say 2 years sooner then it would be Charles VI de France.
