if you could kidnap anyone, past or present, who would it be?

JustAThought

Given the day thats in it Id like to kidnap Winston Churchhill - ask him about politics & how he kept his nerve during the war, guilt about all the men & peoppe he had kiled for a cause, his upbringing with Florence Nightingale in that sumptuous country estate & have a few brandys and cigars with him.

I can’t decide between Margot Robbie or Mila Kunis.

I also can’t decide who would get the lotion, and who would get the hose.

I think they'd both get the hose!!

Oh it's going that route already! Yurt!

Christina Ricci: My first crush (iirc) and we're the same age, so yeah, her.
Emma Watson: Just to see if she's full on feminist all the time, and to try and talk her around to being self partnered with me.
The aforementioned Margot and Mila, but I'd imagine there's a queue now so dibs after One_eyed_jack.

And Jim Carey, because I think he's an amazing visual actor and I think he would be a mad aul bean to have a chat with!

I don't see the point in kidnapping someone sexy or witty.
Kidnap someone you can hold to a good ransom. Or kidnap someone in a bad situation and get them out of there. I like things all evil, or all good. No half measures.

Muhammed - The world would be a more peaceful place without his manifesto

Mayer Amschel Rothschild also, for similar reasons

1. Couldn't you just ask for an interview?
2. He's dead.

JustAThought

past or present specified -I thought putting dead or alive would confuse the theme even more.

Thinking of which sime of those old warrior chiefs from the old west would have amazing insights, historical corrections & stories. Id live to know more about fire purification rituals too.

Dreadful idea; taking someone against their will..and anyone you took would refuse to co-operate if they had any nous...

I went with the idea that they said kidnap, but meant talk to.

Gretas Gonna Get Ya!

I'd kidnap Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones or Brian Blessed...

So I could have one of them walk behind me everywhere I went, narrating my entire life... making even the most boring and mundane things seem epic!

I would kidnap John Lennon from New York in December 1980 so that prick Chapman would miss him!

What if you nabbed Chapman instead, then John could go about his life as normal and release more music.

Go one better and kidnap the old testament god, no islam, judaism or christianity. Millions of lifes saved, cultures preserved, much less war and violence today, maybe even world peace!

Yeah. I'm going to say you're completely wrong there.

Someone from Mohenjo Daro. Who were they and what happened to them.

They would end up getting Stockholm syndrome.

I'd rather someone with a proven track record, Gianna Michaels springs to mind.

Terrible idea - the world would be over populated, people living in tress and under ground. we would be in an era similar to Mad Max where shirt buttons could be used as currency and bread would be deems as a luxury item.

Last time I checked it wasn't religion that invented the nuclear bomb :pac:

Well it's just conjecture but wouldn't our society be hundreds of years more advanced than we are now?
Catholic church held back science for ages, look at the story of Galileo for example.

Me myself and I 18 years old I'd put this persons into hiding to stop a war

Probably Karl Marx, and throw away the key. Hundreds of millions of lives saved, and untold misery averted.

Was it Karl or Groucho that said - The meek shall inherit the earth but not its mineral rights.
