Someone still has to pay.  I wonder how much of that revenue Adblock really wipes out overall.

As long as it is "somebody else" who is doing the paying, rather than me, I'm fine :contract:

So for example, Trump said something stupid about Hillary Clinton and her stupid bathroom break and it's huge "news" with 3059 related articles.

:bleeding:

Sometimes I wonder if it would not have been better if the British had won.

You don't need to wonder - it would have been.

May end up with tough gun control laws, universal health care, and a parliamentary system.  The Queen may visit from time to time  :secret:

Well if the Americans had lost, there's no way the French would have relinquished Louisana without a fight. My guess is that we would would have ended up with a Super Canada (Canada plus Eastern USA) with a Super Mexico (Mexico plus Western USA), a Super Alaska (Russian Alaska) and possibly a Florida. All independent of course, but the first two inside the Commonwealth.

By the sound of it Mono, you only had one of those, though at least you did get the occasional Liz visit.  :bowler:

I may not have been completely serious there.

There would be far fewer people in North America.  Not nearly as many people would want to immigrate from Europe to be under Britain's thumb.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
