There is no "mess up" that can't be fixed baring a break in RIPEMD-160, SHA-256 and/or ECDSA. If that happens LiteCoin provides no protection because it uses the exact same primitives. The fact that it uses a different algorithm in mining will provide no protection from a cryptographic break.
That last mess up that fork had nothing to do with encryption. Ltc did not have that code and could not break in that way.
I never said it did but like "last time" any issue can be fixed baring a catastrophic break and if that happens since Litecoin is merely a shallow copy it will be equally destroyed. Of course pointing out that Litecoin is so under developed that it was using an antiquated db system as an advantage is somewhat hilarious.

For 24 hours you could not use btc but i was able to use crypto coins with ltc.
Which amounted to absolutely nothing. What merchant did you spend those LTC at? Quote
Having a backup is just smart.
Agreed but Litecoin isn't that backup. It is too similar, it provides no novel solutions to Bitcoin issues or weaknesses. If Bitcoin dies Litecoin is probably already circling the drain.
