RE: would you use a time machine to change your past
All you people who want to kill Hitler, need to look at this "thread":

Reporting my first temporal excursion since joining IATT: have just returned from 1936 Berlin, having taken the place of one of Leni Riefenstahl’s cameramen and assassinated Adolf Hitler during the opening of the Olympic Games. Let a free world rejoice!

Back from 1936 Berlin; incapacitated FreedomFighter69 before he could pull his little stunt. Freedomfighter69, as you are a new member, please read IATT Bulletin 1147 regarding the killing of Hitler before your next excursion. Failure to do so may result in your expulsion per Bylaw 223.

Take it easy on the kid, SilverFox316; everybody kills Hitler on their first trip. I did. It always gets fixed within a few minutes, what’s the harm?

it just goes on and on. Think of this as the forum where the time travelers share experiences.



Ok, now on to the OP:
It really depends. I guess by the time I could get to go to the past and do something, we'd know if things get autocorrected thus creating paradoxes, or if we get parallel time-lines, like in back to the future.
In the first case... meh, not possible, or we'd already be in some paradoxical state.
The second case is the cool one where you retain your timeline's memories but can change everything around you.... and the farther back in time you change something, the more things it changes. But parents are still required to keep in line... I wonder how many people disappeared when Marty got to have cool parents...
