They actually could have in Vienna in 1913. It's pretty amazing that all 5 lived within about 2 square miles of each other.

I probably should have said cafe, instead of bar, seeing that it's a big focus of the article. 1913 Vienna seems like it would be an immediate contender for first place to visit, and wipe out some evil people, if time travel were to happen.

it was quite a conversation we had during a philosphy class one day. this was somewhat brought up. we were talking about right and wrong and a guy was arguing that taking the life of someone is ALWAYS wrong and that we all knew that...it was ingrained in us through evolutions blha blhabhlabhabhablh.. the professor said, is killing children always wrong? the guy was like of course! he said what if someone had walked into a school in 1918 (listed some school in europe) and killed 4 or 5 children. was that evil and wrong? of course. what if those children he had killed were hitler and (went on to name a few others )? the guy was just like well. uhhhh.

Perhaps this wasn't taught in my history classes, but what was evil about Sigmund Freud? Yes I know he was opposed to religion, but I don't see how that makes one "evil"

It would have been OK to have the mustache.
