I love the idea! the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA join into one huge UBERENGLAND! We all adopt England way of life and accent and the capital is London! Who is with me!

Will there be biscuits?

George Orwell.

Or are you unaware that you've pretty much described Airstrip One?

You might want to rethink the "heil" and the "Über", though. :p

Well, minus the totalitarian pseudocommunism.

George Orwell.

I did? COOL!


To be honest I have no idea what you just said!

No! Another English superpower? The fabric of the Earth would be torn apart!
In all seriousness, it wouldn't work out. Ireland and Scotland already have their disagreements with England, and Australia is independent for a reason.

I think it's been tried, didn't work out too well as i recall. Except for queen victoria, who came out of the whole thing quite well.

Great book
ever read the handmaid's tale?

I did? COOL!


To be honest I have no idea what you just said!

You make me ashamed to be in the same forum. Go read 1984 by George Orwell.

NOW

:p

Ignoring the frezied reactions of rabid Americans, but how do you plan to get Australia and New Zealand to accept being together and then rejoining the UK? :p

Biscuits.

By the power of Nazi kittie! or mind controlling Drugs!

Biscuits.
Naw, that'll just start the argument up again over what is a biscuit. ;)

By the power of Nazi kittie! or mind controlling Drugs!
Ah! You're going to get the Aussies and the Kiwis drunk... that works!

*I am SO going to get hit by my Australian neighbor for this*

Let us just unite the entire world under me! Mwa-ha-ha! I have biscuits!

I would love your idea, because I endorse English life. However, I still need to know the laws, I'm not to fond of U.K. law I'm afraid.

Liasia']Great book
ever read the handmaid's tale?
Attempted to. The premise was very original and interesting, but I hate Margaret Atwood's writing style.

I couldn't put it down:p
What's so bad about it?

I donno. There isn't one thing I can pin-point as being annoying about her writing style. It's just the whole thing...I do love her short stories though, especially how different they are from normal short stories.

What do you mean by saying we all adopt the english accent? There are many different accents in England. If you mean everyone should be forced to speak with a scouse accent then I'm in.
Although now I think about it you're probably talking about an upper class english accent. Oh well...:(

I think the 'States can stay where they are. Any unified Canada/Britain would inevitably be far too socialist for the US to even consider joining in.

And coulter claims the US is turning into a socialist country. That's not how it looks,dearie.

She claims a lot of things. Does anybody actually listen to her without the intent of laughing at her?

Dunno, i think that about a lot of political figures, but apparently people do. O'riley and Boris Johnson (although that's more out of affection) to name to.

The only way such a large power would exist again, is if there would be another rival power. Without a common enemy, the alliance would collapse due to differing oppinions. So the only way the world would unite to that extent would for aliens to attack and threaten us all. When that happens, I'm sure we could finally get along :P

But seriously, no, it's not going to work out. Uberengland will just be an idea. :(

FOOL! You assume that people aren't threatened to be slaughtered! (again)

How about they all stay separate and just beat down on lesser countries that shall remain nameless.

Well...

maybe we could work something out with the Russians...

Or just claim that (for example) Canada was undergoing a massive military buildup and we needed to band together.

Wait, couldn't be Canda, because we want them to join...

Iceland!

Nah, Canada and Iceland are at war over a tiny little island right now. The main weapon of fighting? Beer bottles.

No joke.

I did? COOL!


To be honest I have no idea what you just said!


George Orwell.... 1984...?

Handy: Even now, he (The Tick) sulks like Achilles in his tent.

*Everyone stares blankly at him.*

Handy: Achilles? The Iliad? It's Homer??? READ A BOOK!!!

Oceania...:)

Except no way am I giving up our Western accent, you brits can go f yerselves if ya think we'll adopt your accent.

You make me ashamed to be in the same forum. Go read 1984 by George Orwell.

NOW

:p
I am! I'm on chapter 6 I think...

I am! I'm on chapter 6 I think...
In the end, Winston kills the Oceanic overlords. You don't expect the novel to have a happy ending, but it does.
*snicker*

George Orwell.

Which, Ireland's neutrality aside, is pretty much just the non-Communist Allied powers from WWII. Let us not forget that Orwell wasn't writing prediction, but a fanciful depiction of the post war period.

If you pay attention to all the foreshadowing before he finds Excalibur the happy ending isn't quite so much of a surprise.

George Orwell.... 1984...?



Never read and don't get why so many refer to it.

You're kidding, right? :rolleyes:

English rules? No thanks, they are gone off the deep end with em...

Cool idea. It would be great if it would work.

all the former colonies would have to conform to Englands Glorious Inepititude that made it so great in the first place.

I.e. the Boer War debacle, the Gallapolli debacle oh and not not forget englands football world cup debacle ( At least it had a bit of continuity going for it eh?)

Can you honestly imagine an Empires solidarity consisting of a mutual whinge between the colonies over how every other nation beats the crap out of them on a weekly basis at sports the whole world plays. (.I.e Tennis, Soccer) Ah well it would narrow then the field in terms of Rugby........hmmm.

My point being England had it all (forgive the bad euphenism) and flushed it down the toilet.

anyway thats just my two cents

from a happy Antipodean

(oh by the way Englands quite nice and as far as Lawn Bowls and Hooliganism go England is still up there:p )

You're kidding, right? :rolleyes:



I seriously don't anybody is taking this seriously....

Well...

Iceland!
Wait.If Russia is the enemy, I don't want Canada to join. I vowed that I would never fuck with the Russians.

Wait. I don't want Canada to join anyways. The English are all boring and stuck-up.

Wait. I would join if we made a few changes:
First we change adopting the English culture to the West Coast/BC culture (grow-ops for all!).
We really move the Capital to Bountiful, BC Canada, because,well, they earned it.
After that, we should ban the words/phrases "Jolly O" "Nickers" "Lou" and "Chav"
Next, we make it policy that not voting gets you a free pancake breakfast.
Finally, we systematically kill all the English people.

We Must Fight For Fun!

Kill the Evil English Nazi Overlords!
Ahem.*adjusts tie*

I cannot speak for Australia as a whole but your stormtroopers shall know my neighborhood as the Centre of Hell for the massive casualties they suffered when they came here.

If it gets us closer to a one world government, I am all for it....

I love the idea! the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA join into one huge UBERENGLAND! We all adopt England way of life and accent and the capital is London! Who is with me!

Wow another few centuries of the english yoke...and this time dragged along with Dubya into new Imperial adventures....not fucking likely.

If it gets us closer to a one world government, I am all for it....
But an English World Government????:confused:

If it gets us closer to a one world government, I am all for it....



I was joking, but you....I am afraid....

Since I live in Canada, but am from England, then UBERENGLAND sounds almost like a Utopia; plus I can get my accent back at full strength.

Sounds to me like you need to read the graphic novel (big comic) "Watchmen"

Cricket

Yeah, I'll take a pass on this myself. Best not to pour petrol on the flames.

Although I know is not going to be popular, I propose a non-anglosaxon federation, to allow the rest of the world to had one voice. Then, of course, we can let the anglos enter, but not as a whole but in pieces, not to be to dominant. Capitol city will be in Jerusalem, so both Palestinians and Israelies would stop claiming it.

Is nice, but is even more utopic than Ubërengland, but at least is not becoming the world in a boring version of the five o'clock tea ceremony. Keep your biscuits, hurray for sangria and paella.:cool:

humm.. remove the USA from the mess, have the brits quit the EU....

establish some sort of Imperial Parliment...

Don't let idiots into the afformentioned parliment.

actually give the monarchy the ability to Exercise their powers, not just worthless symbolisem...


it Might work. if nothing else, it can hardly be worse than the USA, EU, or... umm.. *thinks* come to think of it, it would include most of the more stable and less idiotic nations in the world...

certainly the saner English speaking ones [though that doesn't say much.]

The name.... THE NAME

*throws up*

I seriously don't anybody is taking this seriously....

You meant it seriously? :eek:

LOL.

Love that Big Brother!

Um, you're not helping yourself here.

Who watches the Watchmen?

Seriously -- Rorschach rocks.

I say Canada should attack Turkey, for no reason. No one will see it coming until it's too late.
And then, we could change its name to "Chicken".
And then, we could use it to increase income and mine uranium, doing the same shite Iran is doing, and then in the Canadian north, fabricate a nuke or two and take over the world. Except we'd have to use it on America's nukes first. Otherwise we'd get nuke-raped in 3 holes. Plus whatever other holes would be created by nuclear fallout for the split second before we would be vaporized.
