Top 5 Things We'd Change in History

[whitzip001]

Lady gaga? 9/11? WW1 AND 2? no lets have a hockey player, yyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy­yyyyyy!

[preludefan]

this entire video is shit, i cant believe anyone would make a list that pathetic!

[sphereballs]

I hate to break it to you but Captain Kirk isn't real.

[mouloudo]

well the plan behind the maginot line, was that the dutch and the belgians weren't suppose to just let the Nazis pass like that in less than a week without any resistance... the plan was a fortress line on a side, and 2 countries to cross on the other side, but these two countries served as holiday inns for the germans

[whitzip001]

@mouloudo The Maginot line was supposed to hold the Nazis for around a year..........................­....2 weeks later they were ready to invade Britain. Damnit

[mouloudo]

@whitzip001 yep because the germans simply went around it... the french built the maginot line on the east side of france (the only part with direct contact with germany) while the north was supposed to be protected by the " teshold" composed of Holland and Belgium, plus the Brits were ready to land on the belgian beaches if needed, wich they did in Dunkerque without much success :( Guess the french should have extended the line from the east to the channel and not rely on others

[mouloudo]

uh calling the adam and eve thing " history" is the biggest bullshit ever

[FaganRoberts]

Dump socialized art. Hitler funded the arts and look what they got!

[2CSST2]

What the fuck is with the pre-video add? A politician claiming to be a fighter? Thanks for clearing any doubts that politicians are in fact total liars douchebags

[Romeowasbleeding1]

Stop Mohammed for dreaming up Islam.

Stop the rise of Nazi fascism.

Stop the rise of socialism.

Stop massive third world immigration.

Stop the unionization of Europe and the rest of the word.

Without these things, the world would be a much brighter place.

[zigic3]

@Romeowasbleeding1 STOP THE RISE OF CAPITLISM AND GLOBALIZATION AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH RICHER PLACE

[Louisianabad]

1 Stop Spanish ppl from coming to america and creating mexicans.

2 Kill that guy that started the smear campaign to illegalize marijuana

3 Tell biggieand pac to stay home the days they were killed

4. put a condom on Justin Biebers dad

5. not give this guy a tv show

[daman8053]

@Louisianabad justin biebers dad was wearing a condom, it sucks when accidents happen

[VTGuffMstr]

@daman8053 Accidents and mistakes do happen! You should have been wiped off your mother's forehead with a tissue!!!

[enjoiKID24]

@Louisianabad

fuck you you racist cunt.



[loharynda]

i dont get your american point, those videos are weak as fuck

[ahmedeox]

My list:

1. Kill Abraham

Everything will turn out ok after that.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

My list ...

1. Kill Hitler before he got started.

2. Stop Aids.

3. Stop 9/11.

4. Close Wall Street before it crashed in '29.

5. Elect Gore or anyone over Bush.

George Vreeland Hill

[Chrisbrown762]

@GeorgeVreelandHill nice i like it

[idog6204]

@GeorgeVreelandHill WWII saved america's, and the world's economy because it made them create supplies, and the crash of 1929 would have happened anyway because there were no laws restricting the millionaires who controlled wall street

[rosscol601]

embarrassingly bad list. who ever made this should be ashamed and raped several times.

[PastaCheifFilms]

Celine Dion being concieved? or the holocaust or whatever...

[nametakenuse]

And Satan and Cain and Nimrod and SemiRamis and any Hybrid Megalomanic or it's technology since then> These deliberately worked within circumstance to bring misery and Death. Yes, by changing these we would change History but who can say for certain the/an alternative would be any better? or just different.

[nazaxprime]

4, Seriously? GMAFB

[Emz092]

Stoping the Africans to get AIDS, Brittain from creating America, stoping the murder of DImebag Darrell, stoping Religion, global warming

[MarkArandjus]

Stopping Nathan Gale :(

[4nier7]

Of all sports you go and choose hockey?... No doubt you're Canadian.

[rafail88pandelis]

there was no apple, they had sex

[G8M3R123]

Know we know who is a nazi

[MrAntiFarLeft]

I would have burnt the 1st copy of the Koran.

[samewish]

@MrAntiFarLeft

u right!

[Maze8216]

Holocaust, Hiroshima, Crusades?

That first guy who fucked a monkey to get AIDS?

[nametakenuse]

@Maze8216 You assume a guy?

[delaire33]

@Maze8216  they were african

[Blueyays]

@Maze8216 Why Hiroshima? Want the Axis to win?

[Keinlicht]

@Blueyays Well its arguable that Hiroshima was unnecessary, and if it was then saving all those lives is definitely an admirable goal.

[FaganRoberts]

@Blueyays Yeah, he seemed to be pro Japanese (Rape of Nanking etc.)

No one on this board will even mention Dresden, Germany, which was far worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

[manicbabyshambles123]

@FaganRoberts You're a fucking idiot. 25,000 people were killed in Dresden. 166,000 people were killed in Hiroshima alone, so if you add the 80,000 people killed in Nagaski that's 246,000 people killed by those atomic bombs. The radiation emitted after those bombs exploded killed untold thousands on top of that for years after. Learn you history and don't make crass sweeping comments.

[FaganRoberts]

@manicbabyshambles123 LOL! Who took the Japanese penis out of your cockhole?

Take it easy, Hirohito, it makes no difference the manner by which our adversaries are killed. Between 35,000 and 135,000 people were killed in Dresden. Bear in mind this was a refugee center at the time so the exact figures will never be known. Stop looking at inflated Wiki figures for Jap deaths. You're making a fool of yourself.

Now....go back to sucking hard. Your oriental boyfriend misses you, mate. Cheers!

[nathanfat37]

@Maze8216 Now now, he could have been chopping up monkey meat and sliced his finger :P

[haazi117]

@Maze8216 your missing justin beiber

[NWForrester]

what about stopping hitler from gaining so much power in germany or not voting him man of the year

[bartguys]

horrible waste of transitions and animations for a dencent looking video. fucking retarded

[scfromdc]

why not kill hitler...?

[nametakenuse]

@scfromdc> Or Chaiman Mao or Stalin or Pol Pot or ?

[FaganRoberts]

@nametakenuse Naaah, too many liberals thought they weren't so bad after all.

[EnemaJoe]

"If she haden't bit the apple"

In another TheHour's video it said one of the biggest myths was that she ate an apple.

[scfromdc]

@EnemaJoe biting is different from eating. you can bite something without eating it

[EnemaJoe]

@scfromdc yeah, but why would you even mention an apple when you know that there isn't one.

[scfromdc]

@EnemaJoe what do you mean, all you said, was that the biggest myth is she ate the apple. not that it didnt exist

[EnemaJoe]

@scfromdc

In another video from this man, he said that there was no apple. In this video he completely contradicted what he had said by saying "if she hadn't bit the apple".

[unlovingfilms]

@EnemaJoe he said we don't know what fruit she ate. so it could've been an apple, apricaught, ect ect

[spinemelter2000]

That was the first thing I noticed. They base their information on myths they previously reported to be false.

[RammsteinToaster]

i would go back 5 minutes and tell myself to leave the PC off.

[RazdrazChelloveck]

he wants to save France from nazis but not stop the holocaust? wtf? who gives a crap about french people?

[joojicf]

@RazdrazChelloveck who cares about jews?;/

[354046528335]

I supported Harpers $30mill "cut" (of the $3Billion/yr). Most of the "classics" didnt have some state funded gravy train to moneytown and they created brilliant peices. I hate to see taxes going to a "deep" red line through a blank white canvas for $700, that some gr.2 could paint.

If an artist has talent, they make cash. If an artist truly loves their art, they continue, regardless of funds. Its wrong to fund natural human expression. If there was NO funding at all, art would still exist.

[Viz731]

i think some of it was true...i would go back and marry hitlers mom so hitlar wouldnt be born..;))

[icefenixxx]

ya... why not throw star trek in there instead of skipping thigs like slavery or the holocaust... lol fictional characters are much more important

[krussader]

Maybe it's because slavery and the holocaust are complicated issues, there was not one quick fix to either of them. Also, The List tends to be satirical in nature and those are both touchy subjects, it is easier to leave them out than to try to restore feelings with an apology after wards.

[icefenixxx]

I was being sarcastic... it's very obvious that they weren't really going for the big ones in this list... thanks though.

[gilbert4321]

This was a joke, The Holocaust and slavery isn't a joke there all terrible things.

[se0163]

not really when you think about it

[BigJohnWoody]

Dec. 8, 1980

[Fripitto]

True.

April 4, 1968

[renuck]

Agreed.

[Fridomfry]

Could argue about the Maginot line in 1940 The very purpose of a fortification IS to oblige the enemy to go around it, in order to trap him in some corner (the Ardennes). It worked well but the real flaw was that the mouse was stronger than the trap.

[VivaLaGeddyLEE]

fortification is to protect... whether it is by trapping or brute force

the technique is a variable

[cndn85MB]

in your spare time. Maybe you might have to get a crap job to pay the bills if you want to pursue your dream. Why do I, as a tax payer, have to pay you money to create things that don't make money or major impact socially. Art will be art regardless of government funding. Networks in America can make money...why doesn't the CBC try that for once! Sometimes you have to actually accept that it's a business and you need to make money.

[SpookyGooky]

Why the 'I' bullsht? We are all canadians. We are all affected by each other's actions. If you do not want to care for your neighbor, then get out of the neighborhood.

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

Completely agree. Can't stand people like that.

[cndn85MB]

The government does not create art. Art happens regardless of funding. Artist's have been struggling for survival throughout history. Why is there an obsessions nowaday's that they need to be subsidized? Art is not profitable for most people (sad fact). So you might have to do it

[ic48336]

Your comments just make me sad for you. Trust me the world is a much better place when you choose not to be so filled with hate. Now, I'm not saying get rid of you now (I know you wouldn't support that) bu would this not be a better place without hate? You be fair.

[raguv2000]

Funding for the arts is something people should do personally, not through government coercion

[Ph1005]

If you mean people donating to artists, your dumb.

People don't even give money to save the lives of sick kids all over the world, let alone artist, however poor some of them already are.

[Jizuschrist]

Loss of comedians,Athletes,Musicians,A­ctors

Would you send "mullatos back too"? What would I do without Halle Berry Beyoncé Knowles and Rihanna!!

Why don't you actually meet some Negroes sometime buddy! You'd realize their not all like the ones you hear about in the news or on TV.

[Jizuschrist]

That's probaily the most racist remark I've ever seen voicing opposition to slavery.

[Jizuschrist]

Had the first world war 1 not happen the rise of the reds in Russia wouldn't have happened either, Who knows how long the Tsarist regime would have dragged on ? My guess is that Tsar Nicky would have fucked it up regardless and you'd have a revolution 10-20 years later.

I wonder if Franz surviving the sniper bullet would have change anything? Although he seemed like a pretty a peace loving type compared to his peers.

[Jizuschrist]

Save Franz Ferdinand and you would avert the first world war and the resulting post war conditions that aided Hitlers rise to power. Franz was a pretty progressive guy he had some great ideas as to how to save the Hapsburg empire and make like a Swiss confederation type thing accommodating all the nationalities of his kingdom.

[PunkRockDependency]

lmao... For a second I thought you meant the band... Didn't realize they drew their name from a historical figure... lol

[Jizuschrist]

The band got its name from a racing horse named in the honor of the "Arch Duke" Franz Ferdinand.

You don't know who Franz Ferdinand is??!! Not surprising knowing the state of our education system.You'd think they'd cover the subject of all the wars Canada has been involved in over the years...Especially since that was world war 1.

[derikien5000]

I don't know why so many people need to insult people who like art. I always thought that art was a good thing. That is was a way for a society to look at itself. Sure some art does that better than others... but at least it's thought provoking.

If you don't want your tax dollars to fund it, that's your opinion, fine. But, try to make an intelligent agrument for it, rather than explain how one bad show you saw, or how you don't like artists, should bring an end to public funding of the arts.

[BecomeSomeone]

Pulling 40 million from the arts was a good thing. Most of the "art" is bullshit porn anyway and I don't need my fucking tax bucks paying for some horny french guy in a basement to film two people railing each other and then shove it down my throat calling it "art".

[cheatingthesystem21]

hmm... is this just Canadian history? because I think 9/11 should have been on that list.

[YouknowitisCarl]

Makes me wonder how the world would be without 9/11. There is only one word I can think of.

Better.

[Iwantedtoknow16802]

Why do the arts need 40 million dollars, uz No one cares about the arts. Yeah I thought about doing a career in arts, but the idea of being a starving artist bum didnt appeal to me. Why not take that 40 mil and put it back into oh I dont know Health Care maybe, or Education. And to all the artsy fartsy turds out there who chastize harper for that I say: Get a REAL JOb.

[tayloreh]

40 MIL? dang. We'll get by somehow, anyway, I guess...

I hope Canada can have a creative renaissance.

[geekdiggy]

the maginot line was basically a large cardboard banner posted in front of a pissed off elephant. the french...REALLY didn't know what they were doing back then.

but the Sigfreid line. now THAT, is what i call a line. but it still didn't stop us :D

[BroadcasterChannel]

pfft

[tomsega]

It'd be nice to go back in time and partition the US into a number of smaller countries. World politics would be less fucked up right now..

[BroadcasterChannel]

damn, thats right

[XianL]

Yeah! Maybe Russia would have been the ONLY superpower after WWII! If that were the case, communism would be the way the world would be run by now. I mean, without a big elephant to keep the Reds in check, what would have stopped them, other than the American iron curtain? Certainly not Britain, or any of the other allies from WWII, they were all either devastated by the war or too weak to stand up against such an economic and militaristic giant. Too bad the US wasn't partitioned up.

[XianL]

I'm sorry, that was meant to be posted as a reply to "tomsega"

[tomsega]

Good point, but it has to be recognised that the USSR crumbled more or less on its own accord. It was not a Communist state; it was a fascist dictatorship with a benign label. People should always make that distinction. Maybe if the USSR really WAS a succesful communist society the world WOULD have been better. Tho, even if it was succesful you might have to assume somewhat that Russia would have attempted to invade the rest of the free-market Capitalist world in a traditionally militant fashion

[XianL]

You make a good point yourself. I didn't make it clear in my comment, but I do realise the difference between actual communism and what Lenin and Stalin had set up. Although I wonder, if Russia had been a successful communist state, I can't see it succeeding with Stalin as the dictator he was at it's head. And if he weren't the leader, who knows what Russia may have done?

[Persia321]

nah .... not a big deal ...

[sxer99]

I loved the fact that Patrick Roy left montreal lol

[Iconoclastithon]

1 The top thing I'd change in history, interject rationalism into human thought before superstition,religion,and faith

2 Kill Emperor Constantine, Kill Moahmmed; thereby stopping Christianity from growing past a minor mystery religion into a political powerhosue and stopping Islam from beeing created

3 Have Thomas Paine recognized as the greatest thinker of the enlightenment and American experiment,having his face put on Mt.Rushmore

4 Stop Capitalisms invention

5 Kill Hitler at birth

[nefa2ious]

Interesting. What about Adam Weishaupt? Or, was he just a puppet that would have been replaced like Hitler would been if he were killed at birth?

People, uprise; uprise people, uprise.

[Iconoclastithon]

I'd support Weishupt. his Bavarian Illuminati was not what conspiracy theorists say. It was a rationalist answer to freemasonry. It was made up of Atheists, Deists, and others{Weishupt himself beeing a Deist}. It's goal was to undermine the power and corrupting influence of the Church. People blindly use the term 'Illuminati" as a cath-all for the "secret" global elite today, but they misuse the term, these elties would never call themselves that, and Weishupts Illuminati was undermined

CONT..

[Iconoclastithon]

...CONT;

...Weishupts Illuminati was undermined and disbanded within a few decades after it's creation back in the 1700's, and has not existe since. It's plausable that a few members may have joined the freemasons, but that does'nt mean much.

There are a few internet based open groups on the net today claiming to carry on the original Illumnaitis spirit and purpose though.

Oh, one other thing about Adams illuminati, they had some ritual components, but not like most think. A few

CONT...

[Iconoclastithon]

...CONT;

...a few members did delve into the Occult a bit. A couple even went so far that Weishupt took issue with their abandonment of rationalist principles.

So, yeah, the Illumniati was not what people make it out to be, and it no longer exists.

[Persia321]

none are as important as this ... id go back and stop Gareth Southgate taking a penalty against Germany in the 1996 Euro's ... woulda changed the world (England, so same thing) masively

[Mathesonguy]

How about going back and stopping Adscam, and saving taxpayers 100 million.

Ooops this is CBC, don't mention that.

[ecca73]

It is a myth that the Maginot line ended at the Belgian border and was easy to circumvent. The fortifications were connected to the Belgian fortification system, of which the strongest point was Fort Eben-Emael. The Germans broke through exactly at this fortified point which made it possible for them to invade France.

[fatblueman]

How about not stay so much on the defensive during the War of 1812? I mean, we got down and burned down the White House, methinks we probably could have taken the whole country. And it seems to me like things would have generally gone better if Americans were South Canadians. They would have been nicer.

:-)

[DemolishedHalo]

HAHAH That bit about Stephen Harper was AWESOME!

[carmie1818]

I'd leave #4. I thought it was awesome theatre when Roy told Ron Corey that he had, "just played my last game for Montreal".

That was a beautiful moment.

[Propagandhi900]

haha good list.

[LedHead1991]

Lol at the last one :)

[bongowongowongo]

i think you should of had backstreet boys on there it would be a much nicer world of they didnt exsit! its all about metallica
