V for Vendetta wouldn't have happened
[QUOTE=dowchet;18256829]would you wear one[/QUOTE] i would wear two xDDD
[QUOTE=dowchet;18256829]would you wear one[/QUOTE] Probably not. By the way, Guy Fawkes was never actually hung. He jumped off the gallows and broke his neck.

[QUOTE=L0LIMB0RED;18256008]This thread would be named "What do you think would've happened if Guy Fawkes [i]didn't[/i] blow up Parliament?"[/QUOTE]These are the kinds of genuinely funny, intelligent replies Facepunch needs more of.
:munch:
England would be 1 building short.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18256847]Probably not. By the way, Guy Fawkes was never actually hung. He jumped off the gallows and broke his neck.[/QUOTE] But he was still tortured.
[QUOTE=smurfy;18205477]ITV did a program a while ago where they created the explosion as accurately as possible with an accurate recreation of the Parliament building and everything. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFytcsA9mU8[/media] Skip to 1:35[/QUOTE] That was actually rather fascinating.

I love how people treat V as a valid historical source.
Nothing. Nothing would have changed, a handful of catholics couldn't have swayed the majority of protestant england. [editline]06:26PM[/editline] [QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18256847]Probably not. By the way, Guy Fawkes was never actually hung. He jumped off the gallows and broke his neck.[/QUOTE] He was in the process of being hung when he did that, the gallows were only about a metre off the ground, if the rope wasn't around his neck, he wouldn't have broke it. [editline]06:30PM[/editline] [QUOTE=AngryAsshole;18208686]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.[/QUOTE] Wrong and wrong, my friend. Catholics were a tiny minority, the protestant-majority england would have elected new officials, the structure would have been restored, and the building, rebuilt.

It's illegal to die in parliament.
We'd be better off
[QUOTE=Augmatic Disport;18271550]We'd be better off[/QUOTE] I really don't get why people keep saying this? Trust me, nothing would have changed. The conspirators would have been tracked down and executed for treason, just as they were.
I saw this show on the history channel that demonstrated that with amount of gunpowder he had the explosion wouldn't be as great as he thought.
[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;18280745]I saw this show on the history channel that demonstrated that with amount of gunpowder he had the explosion wouldn't be as great as he thought.[/QUOTE] It would have been. He had twice the amount of gunpowder needed, giving him a 50% margin for error. It would have blown the entire House of Lords to shit.
Guy Fawkes was a Communist.
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;18280824]It would have been. He had twice the amount of gunpowder needed, giving him a 50% margin for error. It would have blown the entire House of Lords to shit.[/QUOTE] House of Lords. Sounds fucking [B]badass[/B].
