And even before he was dead I'm sure he would of killed millions more he thought were 'unfit' to live.

Vlaski, Stalin’s erstwhile confidante, co-conspirator and son-in-law, was purged by his master in 1952. After Stalin died in 1953, he was released from a gulag. Vlasik’s off-the-record photos of Stalin caused a sensation in the early 1960s when an enterprising Soviet journalist spirited some out, selling them to newspapers and magazines worldwide.[/quote]
[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;35917497]What happened? Did someone bomb them?[/QUOTE] Allied carpet bombing. We basically leveled cities with our constant B-17 and B-25 raids, just wildly and randomly dropping bombs on German cities and industrial centers to try and break morale. Very brutal and effective, but the burning of Japanese cities was even worse. Anyone got some pictures of Tokyo?

[QUOTE=Rage.;35919031]True, but who knows, he could of influenced more like him, some even worse. And even before he was dead I'm sure he would of killed millions more he thought were 'unfit' to live.[/QUOTE] Well, that's right. Truth is, we can't know what would be better, but our world right now isn't burning and exploding so it's alright I guess.
Yeah. What's past is past, we can't change history to see what would have happened if things were different. We'll never truly know what would have happened if the Nazis had won.
Unless someone invents a machine that allows us to see what would happen if said things actually happened. A ''what-if machine''.
If certain things were different, the war might had gone in the favour of the germans but I dont think it would have lasted, one nation cant occupy the world in modern times. The reason imperialism worked in the 16/17/18th centuries was because of two things. One, the conquering nation was often hundreds of years ahead in military prowess, and two, there was no knowledge of an imperialistic nation attempting to conquer the world, no media or propaganda. Suddenly, there were foreign soldiers on your doorstep claiming your home etc. The germans and japanese would not have been able to hold on to all of the territory they attempted to claim. An invasion and occupation of the UK would have been difficult, the USA, no chance.

I may be wrong but even if the Nazi's had taken the UK, I really cannot imagine them being able to take the US. The war would probably have just been longer, eventually resulting in the US dropping a Nuke over Germany.

By Germany taking the UK, it basically secured its western border. Air protection is virtually unneeded, most troops could be reshipped to the east to fight the USSR and the German submarine campaign could get closer to damaging the US in the Caribbean and around South America.

The US had the B-36 Peacemaker, which, although it only entered service in the fifties, was actually drawn up in 1941 for the express purpose of nuking Germany, while Germany had several "Amerika Bombers" designed and preparing for mainline production by 1945, including one near-orbital bomber, which was cancelled because of how ground-breaking (no pun intended) its design was.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;35926595]Then it would be completely up to who got the nuke first.[/QUOTE] Strictly speaking, it would probably be up to who could shoot the bomber down faster. While there's no way in hell Germany's nukes (which also existed) could've beaten america's, Germany was designing weapons specifically to take down heavy bombers. They include things like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349"]The Natter[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163"]The Komet[/URL] and the [URL="http://www.luft46.com/missile/x-4.html"]X-4 missile[/URL], along with many others. The komet managed to enter service around about the same time as america's nukes, IIRC. Of course, that's moot if the manhattan project had moved faster than the german anti-bomber projects.
[QUOTE=MasterFen007;35914339]It was an explosion I believe. The reactor had a concrete eyelid-esque lid weighing hundreds of tonnes, the explosion blew it off like it was nothing. Which then exposed radiation in levels of 1300+ rad or so, spreading across most of Europe. If you're interested I recommend watching this documentary from the BBC, really goes into detail about what went on in there: [video=youtube;zyHvDhILYl8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyHvDhILYl8[/video][/QUOTE] Watched all 6 parts. found it very, very, intresting. Told me allot about what exactly happened rahter than just knowing "it was a reactor meltdown"

The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people, and injured around 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack. It still remains as the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history. The attack was carried out by the Iraqi regime under Saddam Hussein. The five-hour attack began early in the evening of March 16, 1988, following a series of indiscriminate conventional (rocket and napalm) attacks, when Iraqi MiG and Mirage aircraft began dropping chemical bombs on Halabja's residential areas. Survivors said the gas at first smelled of sweet apples they said people died in a number of ways, suggesting a combination of toxic chemicals (some of the victims "just dropped dead" while others "died of laughing"; while still others took a few minutes to die, first "burning and blistering" or coughing up green vomit). It is believed that Iraqi forces used multiple chemical agents during the attack, including mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin, tabun and VX some sources have also pointed to the blood agent hydrogen cyanide (most of the wounded taken to hospitals in the Iranian capital Tehran were suffering from mustard gas exposure). On December 23, 2005, a Dutch court sentenced Frans van Anraat, a businessman who bought chemicals on the world market and sold them to Saddam's regime, to 15 years in prison. Neither Saddam Hussein nor his cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid (who commanded Iraqi forces in northern Iraq in that period, which earned him a nickname of "Chemical Ali") were charged by the Iraqi Special Tribunal for crimes against humanity relating to the events at Halabja.[/QUOTE] Source [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_poison_gas_attack]wikipedia[/url]

This page suddenly turned very grotesque
[QUOTE=mini me;35928850]is that..his tounge?[/QUOTE] Might be foam, not his tongue
[QUOTE=Wolfyhound;35929092]Might be foam, not his tongue[/QUOTE]Yeah that looks like foam to me.
apparently the drug cocktail he took tends to mess up the permeability of your lungs allowing blood and fluids to flow in ..resulting in froth on the mouth and blood tinged liquid running from the nose. no medical procedure can stop this huh ..thanks google ..
It's foam. And here's a little bit of background information on it taken from [url]http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/F/Chris%20Farley/chris_farley.htm[/url] [quote]His last day was Wednesday December 17th, 1997. He spent it primarily with a hooker called Heidi. Chris hired hookers regularly. Heidi was hired for Farley by a friend for $2,000. She joined Farley at a party in Lincoln Park (in Chicago) at 11 AM. There were drugs going around. Later that day, Heidi took Farley back to her apartment – where they continued to smoke crack and snort heroin. January 2008 Findadeath pal Pete Hertzberg sends this picture, which is most likely the door they used. Chris claimed he’d been up for 4 days, without sleep. They tried to have sex, but Chris couldn’t. Cut to 11 PM – Chris and Heidi were back at his apartment in the Hancock building. She was getting pissed off because she wanted to get paid, and Chris claimed that the friend was supposed to pay her. They supposedly tried sex again, unsuccessfully, and finally at 3am she decided to take off. Farley was clearly inebriated, and as she was leaving his apartment, he collapsed about 10 feet from the door. Heidi claimed she could hear that he was having difficulty breathing. He said to her, "Don't leave me." Figuring he had finally passed out, she snapped a photograph of him lying there and then left. Chris Farley’s brother John found him the next afternoon. Chris was still lying 10 feet from the door, wearing sweat pants and an open button down shirt. He was supposedly clutching a baseball cap and rosary beads. There was a blood-tinged fluid coming from his nose, and a white, frothy fluid coming from his mouth. John called 911. Chicago Fire Fighters received the call just after 2pm, and Farley was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 33 years old.[/quote]
