well this is such an iffy subject because we just don't know (yes, I know this is a debate but there are two ways to look at it). We don't know if you can read the future and change what you see or if you see the future and that is the future, because you just saw it and it's gonna happen no matter what.

well this is such an iffy subject because we just don't know Yes, I'd definatly have to agree with that, future ordeals will always make a debate difficult... The way I see it, if one did somehow gain access to information of the future, it would really depend on what you know. If you just heard, "You're going to die tomorrow" then I don't think you could change it, because you may just say, "Okay, then I"m not going to get up from my bed all day tomorrow!" then, during the day while you are lying on your pillow, the ceiling above you may collapse and kill you. Whereas, if you hadn't hear this information you would have gotton up and gone through a regular day in which case you [probably] would have lived. However, if you received this information, "You are going to die tomorrow at noon while you are sitting on the park bench" then I think that maybe you could prevent it. All in all, I don't what I'm talking about, and you should all just ignore me

well... i do think you can change the future well it depends on what you wanna change. like you can't change if ur gonna die or not cuz ur gonna die eventually n when ur time comes to die, you will die... kinda like yuki said u can try to prevent from dieing but somhow u might die. but some of the future you can change like lets take global warming u can change that except it might juss be hard. hehe

me and a friends opinion on the future is this
If you can see the future, that the future, it can't be changed, whether its global warming or you seeing yourself dying or whatever.
Lets say you see yourself die in a traffic accident. Well, you decide that you just won't go out the next day but maybe a loved one is extremely ill or dying so you get in your car (promising you'll be careful) and go see him or her and die in the process. This is hard to explain without being in person but the fact that we think is true is that "if you saw the future, that is whats gonna happen, its not changeable" but then again, this is such a wide topic, its hard to know

Well, actually, this is a silly topic. There(technically speaking) is no pre-assigned 'future' therefore, if there is no pre-assigned 'future' that decides exactly what will happen, there is no way to change it.

This might be confusing... What if the future was you changing the future? What if you were supposed to change the future? Then that would've been the future from the beginning, and so the future wasn't changed, it was just...yeah.
