What, why?
We'd be supermutants.
We'd have less witty and hilarious jokes like this thread is trying to prove.
big boom
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;18205262]If you're in the UK, you know all this stuff(hopefully) but I'll tell what happened with Guy Fawkes for those who don't know, didn't read V for Vendetta, or is downright stupid(please tell me if I screwed some history up, I'm American). Guy Fawkes was a Catholic(when Britain was having a techincal war between the Church of England and the Catholics) who was going to blast Parliment to rubble via a store of Gunpowder underneath the buildings when the Protestents were meeting. Killing off these targets would have spawned an uprising and give an advantage to the Catholics.
[b]He was ratted out and hung.[/b]
Nevertheless, what do you think would've happened if the building was blown up? And try to keep religious debates to a minimum and, for the same reason, keep your religion to yourself.[/QUOTE]
He was burned, which is why we burn a 'guy'.
Also, not much would have changed. People attempted to kill monarchs/high ranking politicians all the time back then.
We would be ruled by a catholic instead of protestant monarchy. Nothing would have really changed, except the rebuilt parliament would probably look a lot different to what it did back then.

No he wasn't.
He was tortured to get his confession then he was hung, drawn and quartered and his body parts were scattered around England.
The burning of his effigy is supposed to mean something.
And I disagree, alot would have changed, he was going to kill the King and all the lords of the land. The political structure and leadership of England would have dissapeared overnight. England would of ended up looking like the wasteland from Fallout 3.
IMO this act of terrorism would have sparked a literal civil war between protestants and catholics. With catholics being hunted down like animals and burnt alive.
Oh and we would have been better off.
Well, what the hell do you think? No goverment + civil unrest = RIOT RIOT RIOT RIOT RIOT

And the stain is gone!
What
I'm sorry for being a dick but the correct term is "hanged"
There would've been some kind of explosion.
Probably.
This thread would be named "What do you think would've happened if Guy Fawkes [i]didn't[/i] blow up Parliament?"
For one, it might not make any impact to our history. Britain would still be Britain. What Guy Fawkes was trying to do would probably be called Terrorism today
