  1. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    You're mature enough to vote, get married and get killed for your country but you can't go out with your mates and have a pint? Insanity.
  2. The Forge of Weyland

    Holland isn't France... And lets be blunt, the Dutch did little to provide a decent level of air defence pre-war, and were determined to stay neutral. Britain and France will help where they can, but their own countries come first. The danger to France is losing the war, and to Britain it's air...

    Just keep on reading, and you will know :)
  4. Album Covers from an alternate universe

    So no Songs from the Black Hole
  5. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    And plus, I think the Baby Boom generation and the resentment of the youth culture.
  6. In the absence of George Washington who becomes the first US President?

    Well, Madison is proabably ruled out anyway, if (as I suspect) the rules don't allow two members from the same State. Similarly, if Hancock is chosen then Adams probably can't be. When Franklin dies, another Pennsylvanian (Mifflin?) might rplace him. If only one Virginian is allowed, then SC...
  7. Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

    Nazi power struggle mechanics would be pretty interesting to do (though maybe tough to implement). Of course , there is the base-game Oppose Hitler paths which I plan to maintain. Hynkel-imposter seems like a likely lead in to a civil war as well, potentially. I think expanding the...

    You’re right. A lot of restrictions on liberty are grandfathered in and considered a given. Which is one reason I think the seat belt laws are a real possibility for a POD.
  9. Andrew III of Hungary has a son

    Poland and Bohemia? They were, but that was after fall of Premyslids. Under same monarch they'll not be enemies.

    Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Viscount of Boston and Duke of New England Mounties deployed in New England to surpress American nationalist and Republican rebels George Mitchel, the first member of the Provisional New English Mounties Division Mounties set up a machine gun to fight a Republican...
  11. DBWI: 2004-05 NHL season lost

    He’d sure as shit have to learn to fight back, or he’d be dogmeat in less than a season. His goons couldn’t protect him all the time, and the league wouldn’t run off guys who knock his crybaby ass into next week.
  12. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    It depends. If the Germans still had an air defense worth the name, they wouldn't have risked it.

    Andrew III of Hungary has a son

    But in the 14th century they weren't enemies?
  14. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    I guess the standard answer would be residual puritanism? There's also the issue that with each state setting its own age, you have the problem of people in border regions driving over to the next state to drink, and then driving back intoxicated. This has been cited to me as a reason for the...
  15. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Id say honestly Buddhism. It would have little resistance going into south east asia and more paths of survival in india without Islam. I don't think any other religion had the potential to rival Christianity like buddhism in a world where Islam doesn't exist

    Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    True, the last hope for Mary was the Ridolfi plot.
  17. How long and could it take for the Byzantine (Roman) Empire to industrialize?

    Not sure if this counts as a proper opinion, but Harry Turtledove presented a very interesting view of innovation in a surviving ERE, in his Agent of Byzantium series. Basically he depicts that individuals keep innovating at some level- what a pre-printing era society lacks is an effective...
  18. WI: American Panama?

    In what way, specifically? The US was already quite involved, and the Canal was not exactly a low priority concern for the government. I don’t think there’d be much of a border concern - the southern end is protected by the Darien gap and the northern end is at least short. What are commies in...
