If you could travel back in time and had an easy opportunity of killing a person who is gonna be a mass murderer then would you kill that person?
(Note: That gonna be person has not yet started killing yet but the day of his first victim or action is near)
And yes, you can travel back to present after killing that person
Myself..
but if i killed myself in past
then i dont exist in future..
if i dont exist in future
then how did i went in past to unalive
myself
hence a paradox and so..universe will explode

Bro you didn't read the question or something... I asked if you kill a person who is known as a serial killer in the present but they haven't started killing in the past yet 
2005 ok
i have killed many ants
so ...
thanks
yesss
ulrich nielsen type shi

Karl Marx
??
You wanna kill Karl Marx?
Ofc I do

Womp womp
Big H and stalin have gotta be up there
Putin also gotta be up there
Side note
What is the acceptable amount of time to have passed before monstrous world leader turns into a cool historical figure
Like a lot of people think genghis khan is cool asf
But like bro was mongolaion htler
👀
No cos that's trying to change the course of history, things r supposed to happen as they r and even if I want to kill someone who did a lot of evil in the past I wouldn't do it
Hmmm. Good answer
My step dad
Nah....
Change my mind
Yh for order
" "he even approved it,
Not a crime in my part in anyway
Cus According to some clown here if there is consent then it is consensual
And okay
If halting the lost lives is the target, you could even help the person from ever choosing such a path, ideally saving all the lives, with the life of person
It would cause a time problem
Since you went back in time that past is your present
Nd you k someone in that present and going back to the future
It's probably not going to create the future that you expect
Might just get another killer

I would try to make him a better person and maybe if that didn't work i will do it
And also the future isn't written in stone. So until he does those things. You can certainly say that is how his future would turn out to be
So what you mean to say is the he's future won't change
I meant, just like you can't tell if you would be alive tomorrow or the next, going back to the past. Makes that past your present. So you if you can't eliminate the person thinking they would still have the same future that you came from
The whole act would create a different future in which unfortunately in that timeline he was supposed to be a normal Nd regular dude yet you killed him
That makes so much sense me trying to make him better made him who he is
So i would kill him
I think you got me wrong
My point. We can't change what has happened if it was meant to happen
So you didn't mean the outcome wouldn't change
If you do that. You would just get alot of time paradoxes
Some of which can break the whole fabric of time Nd space
But if i try would it work tho ??
Damn
Well, yes the person wouldn't exist after the year in the past ended them. But that doesn't grant that you would get a future that you predicted
So basically Fate
You might go back to the future Nd suddenly in that future you are the criminal
Hey
Mhmmm i see
Also, time travel unfortunately might never be possible 
Cause to go back in time even just for a minute
You would have to revert not just time but space Nd matter
And also do that for the whole universe
Reminds me of a show abt time travel
It was an interesting concept
Yeah
But there are fastinating ones that might be possible
Revert your whole process,from adult to child
I don't know if you would retain your experience but it would be altering the body on a cellular level
Having certain strict rules to it would also be important to minimise any risks
Or using time travel to learn abt facts in the past in order to change events during the present
Well, there are strict rules of time travel if it was ever possible
Although most movies tend to bend them
Finally the answer which I was finding 
Yes!!! That's exactly the kind of answer I wanted
accordign to real world...u may become the reason of his choice of chosing that path
its also a theory
that if time travel is possible
But trying is all I wanted though
then maybe u cant change the past
but u were always the reason of that thing happening
then kill em..its would be 100% success rate
Going by ur argument someone related to them might choose the path because they lost a person
So it depends on what you quantify as help in such hypothetical situations
yea exactly
but
this is more of a moral question here..so if we dont account for the fact that past can't be changed and future will not be severly affeccted(which is not possible)
only then the helping scenerio may help
if not then killing may be the only option
Yeah, going by that, a better reply to it would be removing the intent of unpositive nature, by fostering and nurturing positive values for all humans since the beginning
Essentially creating an ideal world with ideal situations
With extinct intents, no harsh stuff cud ever happen

You just kill him i guess
Now whos that
WHY DO U SPEAK
anime hater having anime pic as pfp....
It's like that scene from Avengers Endgame where Rhodes asks why we can't kill baby Thanos when we know the future. It's more of Nature v/s Nurture question because the murderer was born that way take most famous serial killer example but also their are serial killer where they were abused my childhood which led them to violence still doesn't excuse what they did though. So, if the murderer is the way they are because of their childhood then I would probably protect them.
