  1. AHC: Keep Music Good

    It's pretty cliche to say, but there's still plenty of good music out there, you just have to search for it. Not many people were listening to The Velvet Underground, Love, The Stooges, etc. in the 60's, punk was mostly under the radar (at least in the U.S.) in the 70's, I shouldn't even have to...

  2. Star Wars scripts just found

    And who do you propose? If they're putting a lot of effort into the movie being big, then Luke won't be an unknown... if not Reeves, I could see another big name star like Bloom or DiCaprio playing the lead. Jack Nicholson as Yoda is priceless but realistic. :D

  3. Time for the Semiannual Sealion Smackdown!

    These: vs. These: Nuff said.

  4. President James E. Carter, 1977-1985.

    OK, I tried to reply in depth to your post over in Gore thread, but your one here is just... well, it's an attempt to completely miss the point of the thread (which you dismiss in 2 sentences) in order to wank over how SuperReagan would bomb Iran back to the Stone Age if they dared to keep...

  5. Al Gore becomes President in 2000

    So you're a democrat, yet you've voted twice for Bush? And you evidently seem to think he's doing a good job? Not saying its impossible, but that kind of personal contradiction does seem rather odd. Seems to be a definition of all polticians and not just Gore, who at least isn't as big a...

  6. Al Gore becomes President in 2000

    The problem seems to be that, as a conservative, you see plausible as "Gore is no better than Bush". Much in the same way that we leftists would see it as "Gore can only be better than Bush". Nothing wrong with that, but politics are involved in this discussion whether we want them to be or not...

  7. President James E. Carter, 1977-1985.

    Grimm, this is a TL where Jimmy Carter stays in the White House longer. I doubt there's much you'll like... :p

  8. Al Gore becomes President in 2000

    Hmm, so Ken Lay and co. manage to con a few more billion before they get caught (which will happen eventually) then? Yeah, I'd agree here. And another thing is that in OTL, only the two WTC planes came out of Logan, Flight 77 came out of Newark and Flight 93 came out of Dulles. Plus the...

  9. Star Wars scripts just found

    Hmm, who would get to play Han? I doubt anyone could make him as great a character as Ford did in OTL (incidentally, Ford will probably never break into acting)... and who's old and distinguished enough to play Obi-Wan? Hell, who would the director be? If the studio thinks it'll be a big hit...

  10. Black Jack's 20s

    US "Pre-Crash"? I guess if there's a Dem in office when the NYSE goes bottoms up there won't be any FDR coming to the office with the New Deal. Perhaps Hoover runs again and wins?

  11. Al Gore becomes President in 2000

    That's inevitable, seeing as the thread's about the opposing party winning a recent and somewhat disputed election. Those who lost in OTL will naturally try to make the resultant TL seem better than OTL, while those who got their way in OTL will argue that it will be worse than OTL. Keeping a...

  12. Al Gore becomes President in 2000

    OK, I guess I'll agree that there's a better than 50% chance that Gore loses... but who'll take over? And I think the main issue in 2004 wouldn't be the GOP shouting that they're better on security... maybe they try to make a stand on moral issues like in OTL? Well, the economy going into a...

  13. A Most Unfortunate (Tale of Flanders V2.0)

    Good as the original was, Nek. :) But since I don't think you got to this point in that one, what happens if Henry decides he wants a divorce? It would definitely make the TL a slight more interesting if Henry and Catherine's luck with getting a boy is the same. No doubt he would have a...

  14. DBWI: Atomic weapons used during the Second World War

    But why would the Axis powers last longer anyway? Germany was screwed at this point and Hitler getting knocked off a month after D-Day didn't help things. And Japan probably would've only lasted till June whether we went straight at Formosa or not. You'd need some major changes for either...

  15. Balkanization of North America

    Actually there probably will be around 13 nations from what would've been the US... seeing as the 13 original states will only account for around six or so. I could see Virginia and New York both going on their own, but you could see confederations in New England, the middle colonies, and the...

  16. The Other Central Powers

    Turkey's probably the most likely. Austria's firmly in the German sphere and Bulgaria going to need German help to survive the vengeful swarm of Balkan nations it took land from in WWI.

  17. The Collaborative Central Powers TL?

    Just because such a thing wouldn't seem to make sense now doesn't that "the world doesn't work that way".

  18. The Collaborative Central Powers TL?

    And it hasn't happened in OTL anyway? If coming to better terms with Germany means that Britain has to give up two allies that are going to lose no matter what, then why not? France is going to be in the German orbit anyway- they've lost 2 wars with Germany over the course of 50 years, the...

  19. The Collaborative Central Powers TL?

    Depends how bad Britain loses. Germany is going to be quite a bit more focused on its new conquests in Europe, after all. As for Turkey, who knows, but they'll be getting stuff in the Caucasus, Persia, and possibly the Balkans in the peace already. What if the Allies are of no use? France is...

  20. The Collaborative Central Powers TL?

    Not if most of the Empire is either lost or in revolt, as some seem to want. In such a case Britain itself may not be immune to revolution. It won't be. This Britain, whether it loses parts of the Empire or not, isn't going to be joining Germany in a war against Russia and France. Assuming...
