A group of nazi's takes over the cripiled world, small sectors of resestance remain across north america and parts of europe... and all of russia is fine.
Dude that isn't funny at all, gain a sense of humour.I am Omega said:Space aliens arrive. We nuke the alliens. Then more aliens arrive.
Rinse-repeat until either
a: the aliens give up
b: we run out of nukes
c: all the fallout from the sky causes the fish to mutate, causing WWIV, MAN VS FISHMAN!

The US is still a larger market then the EU. The US is only challenged by China, but per capita the US is in a much, much stronger position. Then again it all depends on how you want to look at it. The EU has more people if you want to be as simple as that, but they have less purchasing power per person. Then again even in Canada where they have quite a bit less income then a person in the US doing the same job managed to run a spin program to keep people from taking jobs in the US that tried (mostly failed) to tell Canadians that the larger income results in less disposable income. If they can spin that, then I guess you can spin anything.BlackMunz said:First of all the British Empire was neither as glorious and righteous nor as evil as either one of you described it. I mean the BE was pretty hard on any form of riot but they did lay the foundations for world trade.shaneriding said:penicillin, the jet engine, the internet, computers, telephone, electricity, flight, combustion engine, the TB vaccine. Im sure these were all ideas stolen by the oppressive white man. Nearly half the places were used to dump convicts? I'm guessing you mean Australia and then thought that one in god knows how many must mean half? Also i don't think these people INVENTED clean water and education.
These backwater countries have been destroying themselves for thousands of years, long before the crusades etc. If i am correct it was those who came here first,pillaging and destroying before the crusaders drove them back.
Which Commonwealth countries arent doing well? I cant remember the last time a suicide bomber or car bomb blew up in Ontario, Wellington, Sydney, Mumbai, Los Angeles. It seems to me that they live in their "constitutional monarchies" (and which are still democratic, and for all intents and purposes the Queen has no power over them) quite peacefully with their neighbours. Look at Egypt, one of the largest stable democracies in Africa which was a former British colony. South Africa now has peace (don't mention the Boers - that isnt a result of the British, it was Dutch settlers).
These other countries have been destroying themselves for millenia, not just a few hundred years as you put it. Tribes from Africa would come up into Europe and enslave entire villages before taking them back to their own hell holes throughout the Greek and Roman Empires.
Whilst the British Empire wasnt always good, it brought infrastructure, hospitals, roads, schools etc to many parts of the world. It fought back against the Nazis, Napoleon, Bismarks armies. It abolished the slave trade and introduced many parts of the world to the french idea of democracy. Instead of looking at those who died, look if you can at those who have lived because of it. Those who have had chance to go to school etc.
Whilst I can see that we aren't very likely to see eye to eye please don't piss in my bucket and tell me its raining when you say these countries would be better without us. They need countries like GB, France and USA because without someone steering them in the Humane direction they will continue to oppress and fight amongst themselves like they have for as long as they have existed. They are backwards countries who feel that murder is OK, women are a mans possession and that by blaming everything on everyone else they will get by. Sorry Once people like yourself wake up, stop apologising for everything and realise it isn't all flowers and peaceful singing around a fire, the world will move forward.
But more importantly the BE never fought back against Bismarks armies because Bismark never did anything to shift the balance of power in Europe to Britain disatvantage. He fougth three wars: One against Denmark which tried to usurp parts of northern Germany(at this point "Britain was humiliated and left impotent, as it was unwilling to commit ground troops to Denmark and failed to receive support from France" - Harold Temperley), one against Austria over the same region and finally the German unification war against France which was over so quickly that Britian didn't had a chance to react (and we won that one too). After that Bismark tried to construct an order of treaties in Europe to make war amongst the great nations impossible (except with France because at that time Germany and France hated the shit out of each other) and was renown as a mediator in European diplomatic affairs.
OT: I think that if WW3 is going to happen it is because of the nearly inevitable economic downfall of the US. Their debt problem is second only to Japans (Greece earlier this year was in a better position debt wise). The EU is a bigger market and grows at a much higher rate, as does Chinas. Because of that and the already great social tensions in the US some president will start a war to distract from the inner problems which goes horribly wrong thus starting World War 3. I would guess that Europe would emerge victorious due to the fact that we have far less nukes and nearly no first strike capabilities which would make us a lesser priority target for nuclear first strikes and our high level of technology. When the other countrys are done nuking the shit out of each other our survining military forces would be able to win in no time.
because americans blow up their houses and they want vengance. But thats just now.iLikeHippos said:Now that's just being cynical. And quite fair, paranoid...
No, if we focus on education amongst all, there'll be very little wars. Why do you think there are talibans to begin with?
"...We had been fighting for so long no-one could remember the reason why it all started in the first place. All we knew was that there were two sides, The Coalition, and The Alliance. For decades millions died for the same piece of rock again and again. Finally, one side managed to gain the upper hand, The Coalition. In desperation The Alliance launched 5 sleeper ships..."LustFull0ne said:A literal world war................Earth vs Mars........
