Title: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Kratas on September 19, 2007, 02:44:56 PM
how do you think this will happen at the moment erosion is beating away at the coasts
illegal immigrants are overtaking the cities(thank god i live in the countryside)
and drugs are a problem too but not much
also obesity but that is staying level and decreasing in some areas
so wadaya think

Id say erosion isnt a big issue, it may annoy coastal towns but wont kill britain

Illegal immigration wont ever kill off a country, but could hurt the economy bad if they let it get bad

Id say England falls when it gets in antoher war with France

FRANCE going to WAR! Hehehe! Never heard of such a thing! Even if they tried to fight it would be a whoopin'.

If France is going to fight against GB they will lose. but if they ask help from Germany then they could win. I say a natural disaster will come and destroy GB.

Coastal erosion wont destroy Britain, but sea level rises could flood vast areas of the South (which is also most densely populated).

War with France or other European countries is highly unlikely, and even if that did occur.. Britain managed to defeat Hitler's war machine, im sure we could weather another military storm, especially since they would be most reluctant to use nuclear weapons (they are right next door after all).

Illegal immigrants are more likely to benefit Britain than destroy it.. The majority come here for a better life, and are hardworking, which improves the economy.  The only area of conflict would be cultural and religious differences, which can be overcome in a modern society

Drug usage is a big problem, as is the gang culture in the big cities, but they are too minor to bring about the destruction of Britain.

One situation which could cause the fall of Britain is the independence of Scotland.  Splitting like this would weaken the isles hugely.

Hardworking immigrant? that's a wonder I would like to see. immigrants that come in Finland are social bums. And now there are some whackjob idiots how want to start a muslim party on Finland and and ban alcohol. so what good have they brought.

Most immigrants that come to the US are hard working

Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Kratas on September 20, 2007, 03:11:39 PM
the thing nobody would go to war with the UK because the americans would be on the battlefront before a shot would be fired because teh uk and us are strong allies.And both countries have access to nukes and the SAS are one hell of a commando team so theyd be a problem for the military.I also think Cuba would come to britain's aid as they are good allies australia and nz would probably help too
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Scarecrow63 on September 20, 2007, 03:18:19 PM
I doubt Cuba would, i dont think they have much of an ability to give much help
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Kratas on September 20, 2007, 03:19:19 PM
they could give us funds or send us food if other places couldnt get it in

And while we're talking about aid and allies, dont forget Canada (although Arbiter would probably disagree :P ).

It is unlikely that in the modern age, Britain could fall from a military invasion..
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Scarecrow63 on September 20, 2007, 05:35:05 PM
I doubt in the modern age any truly industrialized country could get taken without big time help from the UN, unless it turns into a nuke fest
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain

Id rather have no help at all.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain

Well every country can be defeated if there is enough countries to try. let's say all of Europe vs GB. I don't think GB would be able to defend itself agaisnt that force. but that scenario is VERY unlikely.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: s-t-n on September 21, 2007, 04:36:59 AM
whats more likely is that GB/EU/Russia will go to war with America. it'll start as them telling America to get the bases out of our countries, then relations will go extremely south, and eventually war will be declared...dunno whether GB or America would fall so Ive put it in both...

If "Magna Britannia" were to ever fall, it would be an internal issue. Such as, ignoring the will of the Welsh and Scottish people. Or their own...
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain

Quite possible, i think if Scotland gets the independence some people in their parliament want, it could be the beginning of the end of Great Britain..

Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: s-t-n on September 21, 2007, 06:21:54 PM
yup...same s-t-n...and ive never said anything against russia, as was (so i believe) settled in the pms...but if you really want to, you can always try and beat me in pm's again...i enjoy a laugh :P

but back on topic, if the EU (including britain) and russia went to war with america, would that bring about the fall of GB or US? i vote U.S. wud lose.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Scarecrow63 on September 21, 2007, 07:29:33 PM
Both would lose, everyone would get nuked
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Meyer on September 22, 2007, 02:44:51 AM
I agree with Scarecrow63. both sides would lose. question is: which side loses the least.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Darth Elmo on September 22, 2007, 03:28:47 AM
Britain would never side with the EU, especially against the US. Maybe an Irish invasion would bring them on their knees though ;)... LOL
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Scarecrow63 on September 22, 2007, 01:14:10 PM
Well, since both sides would be entirely annihilated, the EU would lose more simply because Europe has more to lose
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Meyer on September 22, 2007, 02:46:27 PM
or does it? I personally think that usa has more to lose. I mean their status at this moment is that almost every country bows to them but after nuclear war against europe, would anyone bow to them anymore? Who knows.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Scarecrow63 on September 22, 2007, 05:13:32 PM
No one would bow to anyoner cause theyd all be dead

Post by: s-t-n on September 24, 2007, 02:21:10 PM
unfortunatly, for there to be no nukes EVERY piece of nuke, all the research and anyone smart enough to come up with another nuke would have to be chucked in a 2000 degree C furnace and melted into steel/research/people ingots to be dropped to the bottom of the mid atlantic ridge...

Thats ridiculous, without nukes wars would happen a hell of alot more often and more civilians would die, so far since the nuke came about there haven't been any major civilian deaths since the bombing of Japan

How about in the following situation:

Which would you do?

Rome doesn't count, that was way too long ago, modern day civilization is way too different

And the British empire fell, not Britain, theres a difference

Im just thinkin that in todays world major countries are very stable and not going anywhere fast,  the interdependence of todays countries would make it so that if something severe enough eas going on that one was falling, everyone else probably would too

so you're saying they are pointless and don't do anything. and you complain about that. but still you see no need for a change. so what are you trying to say. You just want to complain about thing?

development of the conversation
the only annoying thing is taxes but it is unnecessary to complain about such a small thing

and important. I thing taxes are good. they help the whole country. and without taxes there is no army, free health-care and public transportation etc.

well the salary of an member of an Parliament is very high. I don't remember exact figures but much more than average salary. And all they have to do is to get their asses in the Parliament house once a year! and we have 200 of those. so they basically get paid for doing nothing.

because of those outrageous salaries and the fact that MPs don't get anything done, I prefer dictatorship.
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: vadereclipse on October 23, 2007, 02:07:04 PM
dictatorship is pointless
people's interests arent accounted for
and it always leads to corruption
mugabe, etc
all corrupt

who says that dictatorship leads corrupiton and war? It only happens when dictators are fools. A good leader can be dictator without corruption, war and massmurders.

listening to you anyone would think you were a dictator
Title: Re: fall of Great Britain
Post by: Meyer on October 24, 2007, 01:31:50 PM
I'm not, yet. but if one man or woman decides everything it means that something will be done. now there are, in Finland for example, 200 MPs who just debate and don't get anything done. because only thing they agree is that they should get a raise. And of course that one leader can have and should have assistants. but the ultimate decision would be his/hers.

well said scarecrow
and meyer, the onkly good dictator (from a to his people view, not in reasons of hum,anity adnd characteristics) was genghis Khan, who was known to be a rapist and has a gene pool of over 10 million poeople
but he brought together all the tribes of mongolia
needless to say, that cant happn in modern times.

yep. because every country is already united. at least the succesful ones. and there are many good dictators. ever heard of Augustus or Caesar? And Hitler was loved by almost everyone before september 1st 1939. And the term dictator itself is good.

hmm...
hitler-fascist xenophobic genocide starter-BAD
mussolini-pretty much the same and corupt-BAD
Mugabe-corrupt-BAD
as for the ancient ones, they are not really verypossible these days to be loved
and hitler was loved by everyone before 1939? you need to study nazi germany
november 8, 1937-kristallnacht(night of the broken glass) assisted by the people of germany, riots took place and hundreds of jews were murdered, synagogues were burnt down, and businesses were ransacked
i can safely say not all germans loved hitler before 1939.

I said almost. If you want everybody to love and like someone you have to wait a long time. of course there is always some who say that he is bad and bla bla bla. And many people were happy about Kristallnacht. And it was because of usa, gb and france that Hitler got to power so blame yourself. you could say gb almost brought it's own destruction. And FYI, Hitler wasn't the started of genocide. It was Himmler who organized and was in charge of it. And why didn't nobody say anything about that Kristallnacht when it happened? every other country accepted it.
