| Marks said: Forgetting about the war side of things, the culture would be much different: - Music would suck, yeah of course many of the greats are British/Canadian such as Beatles, Stones, Queen, Rush, Tragically Hip, etc. but let's be honest most good music is American. - Movies would suck, name me one good [mainstream] movie that hollywood had nothing to do with. Bollywood sucks and Canada/Britain don't really make movies that I'm aware of. - Cars might not be the way they are. Go ahead and say American cars suck these days, but America was unbeatable from like the early 1900s (the Model T) until like the 1970's or even 80's. - TV would be boring as shit. Canada has made some good shows like Kenny Vs Spenny, Corner Gas, Red Green Show, etc. but really 99% of what Canadians are watching is American content. - There would be no American football, no baseball, basketball was invented in Canada but probably wouldn't have caught on w/o America. Basically the only good sports would be Hockey, Rugby, Golf and Tennis because soccer SUCKS. - Video games would suck. America makes some of the best video games there is. Plus there would be no Xbox. We would be stuck playing Final Fantasy and Mario instead of having great games like Fallout, Halo, Call of Duty, Gears, Skyrim, etc. I'll take this opportunity to brag that Mass Effect is made in Canada though! - Canadians would have nowhere to go in the winter. We all go to Florida or California when its cold, and all our old people move to Florida when they hit 65. Without America we'll be stuck here freezing our asses off all year. |
I tried hard to ignore your post, but it's just so...wrong. I could just state how things from other countries are better than the ones made in the US but thats based on my point of view, it's subjective, then I can't assume them as facts.
Then I suggest you could just say that this other hypothetical world wouldn't suit your tastes. For example, I would be delighted if there were no such thing as Hollywood.
OT: This thread is just silly, there are far too many variables, too many scenarios are possible. Now if the OP means something like, what would happen if suddenly the US cease to exist. Ignoring the financial and social chaos, I would feel sorry for some bands, a couple of people from the movie industry, and some economist and writers that we 'would' lost. But, it'd be no biggie, there are far better bands in other parts of the world (I would be devastated if it were the UK or France), same goes for movies, TV, science, plastic art and literature.
