Kidnapping a baby is better?

Than murdering it? Is that really a question?

 

[Ri'Orius]

Killing baby Hitler would be such a bad idea since you have no idea how it would alter history. Sure Hitler wouldn't rise to power but it's very possible someone much worse would rise to power in Germany.

Hitting on a twelve would be such a bad idea since you have no idea what card you'll get. You might get a king and go bust!

While I'll admit that world history is a bit less predictable than a game of Blackjack, I'm reasonably confident the EV of a universe with Hitler is lower than the EV of a non-Hitler universe.

 

[Alchemy]

Wait so dude will straight up kill a baby, but abortion is where he draws the line?

Its a Republican man making the decision so of course.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Even Hitler killed Hitler.

But would he let Mama Hitler abort Baby Hitler?

Both very good.

He should have said "No" though and talked about the butterfly effect and that episode of Star Trek the Original Series.

Saying you'd kill a baby is creepy even if it's baby Hitler. Why not say "I'd kidnap him and bring him to America so he's raised right!" or something?

Wow that's actually really easy. "I think things would have turned out a little differently if he was raised under my watch. As governor of Florida education increased..."

Ehh, doubtful.

 

[Codeblue]

Maybe he'd have a chance at the presidency in that timeline.

 

[davepoobond]

do you want President Bush the baby kidnapper, or President Bush the baby murderer

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Kidnapping a baby is better?

What's worse: pirating a game or kidnapping a baby?

 

[Jigorath]

What's worse: pirating a game or kidnapping a baby?

As long as he doesn't buy a used baby.

 

[hamchan]

Even the Doctor couldn't let himself kill Davros as a child.

 

[Hexa]

I guess he's not low energy anymore. He's got 1.21 jiggawatts.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

You wouldn't download a baby.

 

[CrazyDude]

You could give Archduke Ferdinand's driver a decent set of directions and avert two wars

WW1 would have happened, but what set it off would be different.

 

[mdubs]

I would take baby Hitler and let him suckle on the sweet milk of American Freedom(TM)

 

[wachie]

As long as he doesn't buy a used baby.

[andrerobot]

But would he abort Fetus Hitler?

I laughed way too much with this.

 

[Chichikov]

Now I want a T2 remake with Andy Richter trying to save baby Hitler from Jeb!

 

[Extra Sauce]

Is this supposed to be controversial? Who wouldn't kill baby Hitler?

People who understand that baby Hitler has not yet grown into the monster we know.

There's no need to kill baby Hitler, only kidnap him and raise him in a healthy environment under the watchful eye of undercover agents.

edit: My man Andy Richter gets it.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

 

[Beelzebufo]

If Jeb! was even in a position to kill baby Hitler I think it's obvious that history is different enough that Hitler might not turn into an evil man with no intervention in Jeb!'s behalf.

 

[Konka]

 

[Arkeband]

Is the whole low energy thing an elaborate prank to make Jeb do dumb shit?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Typical Florida thug..

 

[Zantetsuken]

What kind of question is this to ask?

 

[jerry1594]

Why not give baby Hitler to a nice Jewish family instead.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Jeb Can Fix Murder It!

FTFW

 

[OuterLimits]

This would be a good science fiction story. Jeb Bush going back in time to find baby Hitler and save the world. Hell yeah. Maybe he should try and go back in time to save his campaign.

It's a little too easy lol..

I would watch a movie where Jeb travels back in time to save his campaign. Instead, he accidentally triggers a series of events which result in his wife being hit by a car and killed. Desperate to save her, he travels back through time again and again only to realize that he is trapped on a timeline where his wife inevitably dies. Eventually, after hundreds of trips back and watching her die over and over, he realizes the futility of his actions and that he cannot now undo what he has done. Despondent, he accepts his wife's inevitable death and marries Sarah Palin.

The end.

 

[diaspora]

I'm more interested if he'd salt the fields of Carthage after the Punic wars.

Only to find that he never had a campaign in the first place

God tier first reply.

 

[Cyan]

The face of a killer.

We wouldn't even need to kill Hitler if we just made sure WW1 reparations didn't murder Germany's economy. Do that and there's no opening for him to rise to power in the first place.

 

[GamerJM]

why is this even a question someone would ask

 

[Bodacious]

stupid question, stupid person, stupid answer

 

[boiled goose]

Stupid question and even dumber answer.

 

[Ithil]

Wouldn't you just raise the baby differently so he doesn't go on the same path in life? Make sure he has a career as a painter, for example.

Not for Jeb, apparently just bash the baby's head in.

 

[Zee-Row]

Altering the past would have serious consequences for future events. Imagine a world where wolfenstein 3D never gets made! What about all the Downfall parodies? Whose head would explode at the end of Bionic Commando?

Well aren't you a party pooper. This is about Jeb Bush going back in time and saving the world from destruction. Your sensible plan may still have failed. Damn

 

[Wag]

If only Jeb had access to the Speedforce...

 

[Sojgat]

So Jeb's a psychopath? Good to know.

 

[gblues]

Somehow I want this to be the premise for a tv show.

How I Murdered Hitler's Mother

lol..@_FloridaMan, you crazy.

 

[Demigod Mac]

The mental image of Jeb! strangling a helpless infant in its crib...

Make it into a winning campaign poster, Jeb.

 

[Premium Quality]

Jeb, what have you done? You've changed history. You've created a Time Paradox!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Like Jeb! wouldn't use a gun.

 

[Christine]

I really liked how he soberly assessed the risk and provided well thought out and reasonable justification for taking it anyway. "I mean, Hitler.” Well, of course!

 

[rothgar]

If Bush kills baby Hitler, who would I kill then at the end of Bionic Commando then?

 

[MutFox]

What would happen is that baby Hitler is killed,
his parents would be so sad and have another Hitler.
That Hitler would have even more rage due to their baby brother being killed.

Congrats, you've now created Omega Hitler.

 

[UrokeJoe]

This guy, seriously.... What in the hell is going on? This is a presidential candidate? What a fucking doofus.
