[Game Of Thrones] What if Joffrey was nice?

What if Joffrey wasn't an evil psychopath? What if he was a kind, friendly kid? 

How would this have changed things?

If Joffrey were nice, the world would actually be a much much much better place. But by insisting on the glorified tradition of putting children and morons on the Throne, the world has created it's own destruction.

Remember that Joffrey's Misogyny and Anger that originally lead to Ned Stark's execution. This even started the War of the Five Kings, where the North rebelled from the Crown on the basis of this action. 

Everything that followed that War as a result, therefore, is rested on the anger and incompetence of a Teenage Incest-Bastard. This includes the destruction of House Stark, Bolton, the flaying of Theon Greyjoy, etc. In fact, almost every character has an explicit reason to hate and revenge against this particular dude. 

The Lesson of Joffrey the Illborn, is the power of one rash action to completely and irrevocably destroy everything.
