Talk:An Independent in 2000

Why would the US have 51 States? I would have thought it more of 72 states. Buk5 09:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Some U.S. states has been merged with other U.S. states of territories of other countries (such as Canada and Mexico). - Realismadder 12:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I Decided to merge certain states because frankly some like Wyoming and Alaska, have such low populations that it doesn't make sense to micromanage a piece of land with so few people in it when there are three other territories with populations just as low, with politics almost the same, and geography almost identical. So I merged regions that could be merged.--YNot1989 16:44, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

added pres image
Pardon the outside addition but cbuk5 mentioned your althistory and I couldnt resist the urge to dream up a fictional image for your president. Maybe I'm too sleepy (4 o clock here!!) but I hope it's not far into uncanny valley and it works? Feel free to hate it if you don't like it. Cheers, J4p4n 19:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh so your the one who photoshopped President Ford and Ed Harris to make President Edwards. Its nice dude, but like I said on the actual page, I'm already making one of my own. But I'll leave it up until its finished, just for shits and giggles.--YNot1989 03:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Outsourcing
How does Edwards deal with outsourcing, since all the US factories are in China/India/Japan/Singapore? Buk5 09:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Musharraf
Musharraf would be long gone by 2009. 19:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily - it could depend on how the War on Terrorism would be led and conducted. While he was getting increasingly unpopular due to his ambitions for another term as president and his suspension of the constitution, jailing several justices and lawyers of the supreme court etc., he was also getting increasingly unpopular due to his alliance with the United States in the War on Terror (mainly the part of the alliance and the War in Afghanistan). As the War in Afghanistan ended in 2004, he could then have distanced himself from the U.S. to control his increasing unpopularity at home. - Realismadder 20:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Questions
A few q's

1. How would you respond to someone if they say the absence of the religious right means that society will become hedonistic, sex offenders are embraced in society and Abortion rates would go through the roof (not that i share in their beliefs)?

2. Would Noam Chomsky have writers block ATL

3. What legislation does Edwards pass after the 08 election (given that he's a lame duck)

4. What would happen to the Westboro Baptist church aTL?

5. How do you respond to those that say it is ASB?

Just a few questions. Buk5 20:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Answers
A few a's

1. I'd say that they are obviously an idiot, and desperately need to get laid.

2. That was added by somebody else, I just thought I'd leave it since it didn't seem to do any harm.

3. Next to none, he proposes the Second Bill of Rights, but it will be passed under the Obama Administration.

4. Oooh, thanks for reminding me about them, I'm gonna have them be even worse and eventually be declared domestic terrorists.

5. What the hell is ASB?

Peace --YNot1989 03:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

ASB
Alien Space Bats. Buk5 09:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh
lol, I didn't know so many people were Dies the Fire fans. And to those who think it is Alien Space Bats, I say you are half right. I have a timeline on Future Wikia that has the same name that continues this timeline, though it is very rough and has been edited by some slightly crazy people who haven't read this ATL. Anyway my point is that that timeline explains where Edwards came from and how. Good question BTW.--YNot1989 10:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Israel
About Israel, i do not think even the Peace Corps will be able to have a solution becuase Hamas wont be satisfied until every israeli is dead. Do not forget their charter calls for Israel's destruction and thus the only acceptable outcome for each faction is the complete elimination of the other. Buk5 20:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

if they do, it will be the most ASB thing that has ever come onto this wiki. Buk5 22:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
