    What facts do you want. England has a good case, No one denies it. Many people posted about it.

    Mixing it up with Rickky calling me Hitler supported because of American revolution comment. That is stupid. 

    Or do you want me to make up a sci fi story about if that happened differently then that would have happened so. No thank you I stick to facts not sci-fi.

    Apparently calling a person wrong is the same thing as calling them Hitler GG.

    You accused me of saying if I didn't like the outcome American revolution I suppoter the German victory in WW2. See page 1. Then we got to the alternative history mastering. If US revolution would have failed then Britons would have retaliated then world would remain stupid then comes Germany and wins the WW2. Or however you planned out the timey-wimey stuff how two events are tied together across 170 years.

    I noticed that's not a retort to the actual argument.

    I'm ignorant because I don't agree with your sci-fi? 

    If American revolution would have been a failure

    - British Empire would turn on everyone with a diploma in colonies

    - Hitler would have ruled the world

    - UPN would have rolled us in the last war

    And you call me ignorant for saying lets not make up fairytales with out no realistic historical support. 

    So, who were the leaders of the American Revolution? Alexander Hamilton, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson, John Stevens, Aaron Burr, Benjamin Rush.

    All major figures of the American Revolution, all with varying contributions to modern law, science and ethics, not to mention a little thing called the Cough Constitution Cough. Even if the British empire didn't catch and execute them for treason, without the backing of a new nation and the environment of the burgeoning United States they would have been in no position to make any of the important advances that they heralded. That's not even talking about the potential effect of there never being a USA to have the Civil War, helping to abolish slavery and force equality, or the number of advancements made in the USA that might have been made impossible under the continuing rule of the British empire.

    For throwing in Hitler.

    For mentioning UPN.

    So all in all yes, I will call you ignorant.

    Is there a link inbetween Star Wars Empire and British empire for you or what? Evil British are coming with their hate against progress. Next episode is Return of Trump and New Hope. 

    I know I said something unpatriotic for the yanks, but geez you don't need to get your panties twisted now. Stretching 1 event from 1770s to influence just 1 event in 1940s is over extending yourself a bit isn't it. In meanwhile you ignore 170 years of history that all would have been totally different in a way no one knows. You're saying British would have killed all the inventors, I say aliens would have landed. Neither can be proven and both are stupid. 

    So, in a treasonous act of rebellion, you would not execute the traitors. SUUUUUUUUUUUUURE

    Again like Rickky you're making an assumption that if America lost their war of independence, US would be replaced by a big black hole and every other detail in history would play out exactly the same for 200 years until the point in history you chose to view. 

    And still the fact remains we have our modern day superpower - the U.S. - because of the French and their support.

    Actually that wasn't the assumption, what I was telling you is that with the growing power of the British Empire they would have stayed an Empire longer and then there wouldn't be the technological achievements today, because all the inventors were against the British, if the revolution had lost they would have been put to death. Seeing as how they were traitors. So yes, a lot of the technology that was started back then would have definitely been put back. So alyster with all of your assumptions, you can just sit the fuck down for five minutes.

    Does not compute. British colonies in the Americas would have probably had some similar effect as the U.S. providing resources and manpower. Alternative history's causality is a bitch. We have no real bases to say that different result in an event "A" would have caused a different result in event "B" 200 years later, because we wouldn't even know if event "B" would happen. 

    Does compute. Who could say that who was an inventor could really invent under imperial rule?

    I didn't get a chance to watch it during the movie being in the cinema, but dam people weren't lying when they said it was a good movie. It felt like the older (1 - 2) Mad Max's which I enjoyed. The music was pretty good in it too. 

     

    Anyone else seen it?

    Yeah, new Mad Max was pretty good.
