...that a couple of complete strangers walk up to you saying that they need to talk to you...that they are from the future and that you don't realize it but you are going change the course of human events for the good in the near future, but somehow people get hurt in the process, and they want to stop that yet still show you how to alter things but in a safer way. What would you say/do? Would you completely dismiss it as nonsense? Would you keep listening? The first thing I would do is ask them what my name is. At least then I would know if they are complete crackpots are if possibly a friend of mine or someone I know is playing a trick on me. ------------------ "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."

I would be doubtful about the result of trying to prevent something from happening. Since time isn't linear, the result of these people coming to me would be what they're trying to prevent.

master shifu also said (im assuming its the old turtle): yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift thats why its called the present i'm very suspicous in nature so i'd probably be freaked out and tell them to leave me alone.. IP: Logged |

I would try to get a feel. Their looks, body language you know overall impression, gut feeling then decide. If i felt OK i would ask them to talk about it and give it a patient listening. If that appealed then i would ask them to wait. Get a couple of my friends/close acquaintances to discuss and then decide on what is to be done.IP: Logged |

I would laugh. Then I'd probably offer to buy them drinks so we can discuss the details.  ------------------ "Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise." — Maya Angelou IP: Logged |
