Is this the type of behavior one should expect from a loyal subject of the British Empire??

You need to establish why any of them would deviate from reality. That's the "why" you need to account for

That's what the discussion is for and you haven't contributed to the "what if" scenario at all. All you've done is whinge that the what if scenario isn't what actually happened. Well duh! It's a what if scenario.

The bad teeth comment was simply to illustrate that we could have stopped shipping you supplies for any reason we chose. By far the majority of Americans didn't want to send our boys to fight in another of Europe's bs wars.

If you can't participate in the what if scenario then maybe you should leave the thread eh? What if scenarios aren't for everyone and that's fine but there is no need to come into a thread like this and crap all over it like a pigeon.

And you missed my point entirely. You can't have a "what if" hinging on alternate decisions of people without establishing a credible reason for these people to behave differently.

If you just want to entertain "what if's" without human interactions, you'd better stick to scenarios such as "what if the asteroid didn't impact Earth 65 million years ago?" or "what if Earth didn't have a moon?"

You're continued attempts to hijack this thread are childish in the extreme. Either participate in the what if scenario or don't.

I'm not hijacking you're thread at all. I'm only explaining why your "thought experiment" suffers from a severe lack of logic.

Your accusations of my hijacking it only tell me that you are not actually interested in having a reasonable discussion and are either looking to push your biased perspective or are just trolling.

In either case, I'm out. Enjoy the circle-jerk with your ice cream buddies.

What if people had actually participated in the what if discussion instead of acting all offended that it wasn't about actual history?

This thread had the potential to be a good time but then the pigeons flew in and crapped everywhere.

Agreed.

So I'll start another, similar one, and we'll see what happens there.

It isn't possible to have an interesting discussion while the ICOM-troll faction is allowed to operate their forum exploit. Notwithstanding orders to surpress trolling activities while attention is on them - proves nothing.
