Perhaps it would be better to go back to the era of the Crusades to have this major event occur.
    Okay, but what would YOU actually do, to make such happen? That's the first part of the game here.

    Jesus, no one granted you magic powers. If England suffered no crime then Australia would develop different than it did, but you haven't argued how it would be different and MORE TO THE POINT you have given no thought nor explanation as to how you, if you had a time machine, would wipe out crime in England.

    Jeez, its a bunch of orangutans in here. All bluster and bite, no substance.

    I wouldn't actually DO anything. I'd rather be a passive observer, that way I don't have to take any responsibility for the consequences.

    Fair enough. But why are here now? Do you not understand how to play? Did you fail to read and follow the rules?

    This thread is proof that chess players are at least as stupid as everyone else. What is the color of sad?

    Readers are encouraged to shoot down the wishes. For example, killing Hitler when he was not yet empowered may result in USA not becoming a super-power (we'd miss out on owning those awesome scientists that gave US the a-bomb).

    Good clean fun.

    I hate random links. Had to scrub my computer more than once because of them.

    I do trust you though, Grampy Bobby. Can you please speak clearer?

    If that was meant for me, you're right, I didn't actually note that I had to suggest performing an action. As a member of the female species, WW2 vintage, we were expected to leave actions to our 'better half' so it's not something I do instinctively. Sorry if I distracted your thread from its intended path.😳

    Would you regard engaging in conversation by posting to an iternet bulletin board as 'performing an action'?

    I would aid Scotland in defeating the Brits and drive them into the ocean.

    you'll think different when the King's last name is Wallace or Bruce and you have to stand when they play God Save CP.

    I thought, from your nick and avatar, but I was out of line. Should not matter. You should get as least as many rights as I do.

    I deserve nothing, but what I will fight for.
