Not utterly demolish. The germans switched troops to the east in late 1914 and crushed the main russian army, then pushed onwards into Poland and Russia (Belarus). The Russian Government fell and in the chaos the germans set up allied regimes in Bearus, the Baltics, the Ukraine, while the...

As some of you may have noticed, one of my ideas for the next production will be a story set in a world where Germany defeated the allies in WW1 and went on to be the dominant power in Europe. France has been serverly weakened - think vichy, but more like post-Franco-Prussian War - while...

Yes, and if it was just germany, you would be right. The problem is more complex than that. Chris

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Justification is immaterial here. I might not steal from you if it was MY life at stake, because I have my pride and my idea of how I should behave. If it was my son or daughter's life at stake, I wouldn't hesitate. I might come up with elaborate...

Sorry, I didn't understand "Y halo thar is-ought-fallacy." I'm not disagreeing that it's a bad thing. It's just the way it is. Chris

I could have been a little clearer:o 'self-interest' is generally manifested as 'me first'; an extreme form of that is selfishness. There are people who are self-interested who will do things they think will benifit them in ways other than dollars (i.e. me supporting new writers on the...

If that were possible, I would even agree with you. As it's not... Chris

I'm just a cynic, but a lot of forign aid seems to be just pouring money into a bottemless pit. Chris

Yes, it is. You see, at heart, everyone is self-interested, if not selfish. Me and Mine first; I will put the interests of my family, children (should I ever have any), and so on ahead of YOUR interests. That's human nature. The people who don't put themselves first tend to lose out...

Look at it this way... Would YOU be prepared to give up all your money to support ME? Would you be prepared to do it knowing - or suspecting - that I would just waste the money, intentinally or otherwise? That, at bottem, is the issue at hand. Now, I have not yet read Caliphate, so I...

It was on Allison Brooks website, IIRC. Since she left us, I don't know what happened to most of her stuff. Chris

Cambridge has a very important role in the Multiverse War. Chris

I need something that is semi-recognisable... Chris

You're not helping Cool. Can you do one for Cambridge? Chris

I've read it. Frankly, I could have done it better. There are lots of good ideas here, but many of them are ill-used. The guy seems to be writing a children's book half the time, then he'll jump into young adult mode, and then... It's not a bad read, but there are plenty of holes. Chris

Excellent. What about places in the US? What might a muslim version of Christopher Columbus be called? Chris

Let us imagine a world where islam spread over most of western europe in 800-1100ADish. (NOT 2019!) What might places be called; america, europe, cambridge, etc, etc? (And no Al-Bion jokes please.) Chris
