Ok as a replacement for the funny picture posts heres a forum game.

the rules are quite simple. the person poses a question that starts with 'What if...?' and then the person who posts after them answers and makes their own 'What if...?' question.

No complaining about the answer you get and dont be offensive with this.

I'll start: What if you had to choose between PC or a Console system to play games on for the rest of your life?

Hmm... that is true about the Washington trailer. They probably had to do that 'cuz of Star Wars... good eye.

Than Linkin Park wouldn't have a drum set.

What if McCain won the '08 election? (happy things, yay!)

Then I'm pretty sure he'd be in the exact same mess. (funny story I found out Obama won through Comedy Central while I was watching election coverage with my family. About 15 minutes before we found out, when they wouldve been calling the election for him, I told them to go to a real news network and they didnt so the guy who hosts 'The Daily Show 'told us Obama won.)

What if you still used the much better fish avatar?

If McCain won the 2008 election, then we wouldn't have a president that sits on his butt doing nothing. Also, we wouldn't have a president who has snubbed our allies and has been sociable to long time hostiles. Also, we wouldn't have a stimulus package which some executives have used to redecorate their office because they view it as free money...

 

 

What if parakeets took over the world?

The "better" fish Avatar? I take offense to that!

Anyway, this'll be one of my last posts for tonight, Full Metal Alchemis will be on soon, so yeah.

I probably wouldn't have as much Karma, since I got 1 for the Linkin Park avatar, and 1 for this one (I think)

If parakeets took over the world, I'd grab a shotgun.

What if.... you were a member of the opposite gender?

Would that make me gay then because I'd still like girls?

Due to my advanced TIE fighter training, I'll smooht my way into their fighter program, defect and end up blown up at some major battle against the Empire.  Sucks to be atomic dust but hey, I'll have fun living the dream.

What if you run across a actual intelligent talking dog.

You do realize that hemp, coke, and all other various drugs that are illegal today were legal back then? All of the founding fathers were competely baked during the Revolution.

Then... we bring back the barter system.

What if nobody noticed you for a week?

If SoaSE: Never existed? Well, for one, I'd be a 4-star Gold General in World In Conflict, and for two, I don't think I'd be posting here right now.

What if Georgia joined N.A.T.O right before Russia invaded?

It might be... you can never truly believe what your eyes tell you...

What if the Soviet Union had went to war with N.A.T.O. in 1989? (That is, the Soviet Union as in the Warsaw pact, China, various factions in the Middle East and Africa, against Western Europe, America, Canada, India, Japan, and Autralia?) Please take into account the Economic and Miltary sizes of both factions at the time.

Then we'd have far less "musicians" with no talent but still somehow manage to scrounge a fanbase and rake in cash; in other words, the pop music scene wouldn't be so bleak.

(VERY weird question coming up; bear with me here.)

What if you were somehow transported to the world of your favorite cartoon as a kid, and had the chance to join the villans and take over their chain of command?

NATO would win (assuming both sides were rational enough not to launch nukes. then everyone loses). though in 1989 the Cold War was basically over. the USSR was collapsing by then. thats actually a good point. i amend my answer: the world would end in nuclear holocaust because the USSR would be pushed into desparate actions (read: launching nukes).

what if NATO and the USSR went to war in 1982, assuming both sides were rational enough to not launch?

(oh, i do love Tom Clancy)

edit: goddamn, beat to it again! last time you answered my question, not the previous poster's though. i like homsar's better though, so go ahead and answer him

EonCommander: It's called the Star Wars project, AKA missile defense. But, to answer a variation of my own question: the U.S. would win. the USSR had a formidable Navy, yes. However, their main branch of Armed Forces was dedicated to Ground Battles. Given this, we could effectively Embargo the country to death, epecially if our Combined forces joined up with Western Europe. If other alliances besedes NATO and the Warsaw pact got involved, that's totally different.

Question 2: We'd have more retards in power... like Obama.

My Question:

What if... you were in the Movie The Hunt for Red October? Who would you be?

Then I'd buy out all the governments of the Earth and rule it through puppet leaders and my secret police: the VGB.

What if the Revolutionary War had failed?
