Well, one thing's for sure. There wouldn't be any casinos on the Indian reservations. Come to think of it, I doubt there'd be any indians at all!

Colony ?? We have so many Muslims here its not funny, They could cause mayhem at will, People think the reason they don't is once they are here most become too Americanized. Otherwise they would bring life here to a standstill in 4 days. Once they are here and they have access to all kinds of information finally, they figure it all out pretty quick, ( even if others can't ) These people aren't stupid.

I'd probably killed by extremists for not being a muslim while the peaceful majority does nothing about the problem.

Nice way to show how you stereotype Muslims...
They're not all havoc-causing terrorists, you know? They don't have bad intentions. They're humans.

One of the oddest thing I ever saw (especially for an Irishman) was a Muslim wedding reception at a hotel I was staying at in Petra, Jordan. The men were in one room, the women in another, nobody drank a drop and they all went home by 10pm!
well 5 AM comes pretty early in the morning when you have got to get your affairs in order, final briefings about your mission AND pre-detonation religious ceremonies to attend to. Whewwwwwww!!!....makes for a loonnnnnnng day. You will hate yourself if you have to do all of this hung over.

For all of those who resent that Britain would have been part of Germany if not for the U.S., it is true. All of the major allies played an equal part, and Hitler would have succeeded without one of them involved. I analyzed why in another post, but am too lazy to dig it out.

This is purely for ZamoII since he can't let it go...

Who supplied the RAF? British factories? Sure. Mostly. Who supplied those factories? Who? Who was it? Hello? Crack open A HISTORY BOOK WILL YAH?!?!? Yes, the Americans did save your ass. You just can't tolerate an American telling you that. You're lucky that you live in a country where you actually have the freedom to hear that.

Now no one is saying that the RAF didn't play a major role, Lancasters were an enormous help in bombing Germany, but even their numbers were dwarfed by the number of B-17's and B-24's that were used by the Americans. What planes frequently flew in escort with those bombers? P-51's. Those were also American planes. Furthermore, how many RAF bombers were used in bombing Japan? How many? Were those British B-29's? Hello? Anyone home?

What really brought the Axis powers to their knees was bombing. Particularly FIRE-BOMBING. Far more civilian lives were lost from fire-bombing than from the two US Atom Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That is what really broke Germany's morale and eliminated Japan's ability to manufacture - ANYTHING. When you can't stop the unending lines of B-17's (an example) rolling over your skies exterminating your cities at will, what's the point in continuing to fight?

Now with all of that said, did the United States win World War II on their own? No. Could they have? No. The golden question is, could the REST of the Allies have defeated the Axis powers without any help whatsoever from the United States?

No.

Get over it.

Realistically, we probably wouldnt even get passed 1700's technology. IMO, I think that history would have turned a different path. They wouldnt treat everything like the Brits did, they would think differently, and would create more religious stories or something to make the land interesting etc. It would be different. Maybe we could have had a religious war, where the Europeans vs'ed the Middle East.

Really, there is no real way to say what would happen, because there are too many other things to think about, and what would happen with that. It is impossible to tell.

Purely hypothetical but interesting none-the-less.
actually it's a mix between celtic and scandinavian (the former language the danes, norwegians and swedish talked back in the invasion of Britain)
Scandanavian is an area not a language,  The Scandanavian languages are all Germanic

By everyone's own admittance, we can not tell the terrorists from the civilians in this war. They all dress like civilians. In fact, they use this tactic for specifically that reason.  They are sabotaging children, to blow up troops that walk up to help them. Personally, I have no problem suspecting EVERYONE that dresses the part until it is proven that he/she is a good guy and NOT wearing a vest. DO you mind if we allow ourselves the right to err on the side of caution to protect ourselves? It has already been proven that TRUST has been used against us countless times. Stereotype them!!, If it saves lives to hurt their feelings or insult them, tough shit.
