The Russian empire was far from stable, the fact that the Russian revolutions were inevitable shows as much (especially when looking at the long term causes of the three key revolutions of the early 20th century).

It created much worse empires, the 3rd Reich, the Soviet Union and the Japanese empire. The German Empire in 1914, was far less oppressive than Britain, France or Belgium to both it's people and it's colonies. Before the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, he wanted to remake Austria-Hungary into a federated state all with their own rights as opposed to the oppressive system that preceded it. The Ottoman empire was doomed long before the war. The Russian Empire was pretty awful but atleast it was stable, if it hadn't collapsed then the terrible instablility caused by the Russian Civil war would have never occured.[/QUOTE]
When you bring up alternative history you can't predict what could happen. For all we know Fascism could have appeared in France or something.
I really don't buy a lot of alleged nazi crime stories, like those human skin lampshades or hair filled mattresses

Breaking Bad is a crime drama, it's a drama based around a man committing crime.
The conception of "social" videogames that the gaming community currently has is the most backwards thing I've ever seen
It seems that the closer a game is placed to the casual end of the Realism-Spectrum, the more it adorns the title "Social," but how many of your memorable moments when interacting with other players actually came from games like [I]Farmville[/I] or [I]The Sims Social?[/I]
BF2: Project Reality is as far removed from a casual or "social-networking game" as possible, yet I've had more fun interacting with other players in that game than in any other (it's a game with a comparatively tiny community but I'm sure you can compare it to other niche games that have lots of depth and strongly encourage social interaction). What makes network-based (whatever that means) browser games "social," but not MMORPGs with full-fledged worlds that have a strong human element in their trade systems, or RTSes and FPSes that have highly competitive communities?
Sopranos > The Wire > Breaking Bad
Seriously watch them if you haven't
This post will get a lot of flak, but I'd like to think that the real reason why we aren't seeing anything about GTAV on PC is because nobody's paying Rockstar to port it.

I think the same as well. World War 1 solved no problems, and neither did World War 2.

The Russian Revolution was hardly inevitable at all.
[QUOTE=Skyward;42849424]Bioshock: Infinite is not as bad as people make it out to be. At all. Calling it bad is just silly.
Perfect? No. Bad? Certainly not.
I feel like it's gonna be another Bioshock 2. People treat it like garbage on release, but later down the line they realize its not as bad as they thought it was.[/QUOTE]
It's the other way around. When it first came out people were swept up by the hype and thought it was the best thing ever. Giving it a 9 or 10 is an absolute joke. Even 8 is a generous rating.
Now people are starting to realize that the game is just average.
To me the combat was fine, the only problem was the bullet spongy enemies and arena-centric level design.
The guns and vigors was fun to use.

I'm sure Russian society was very happy with an autocrat who refused reform and sat comfortably in his palace whilst they starved.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;42847064]I think many atheists on facepunch are pretty intolerant of religious people.
A lot of atheists IRL are that way too, kind of sad.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this. What bothers me the most is that the most aggressive critics of religion tend to demonstrate only a superficial knowledge of Christianity and almost no knowledge of Islam and Judaism. It also frustrates me when people talk about "religion" when the points they're debating are specifically Christian. As a practicing Jew, I don't appreciate my beliefs being generalized like that.

I'm saying that the Bolsheviks winning was hardly inevitable. Even then, Lenin sat in his palace and refused reform whilst the peasantry starved.

It happens to me all the time in Paradox's strategy games.

So you misunderstood my original point? Which was that the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 were inevitable.
Facepunch, or at least the SH section, is extremely biased and misinformed in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Italy was originally a member of the Central Powers which was originally a defensive alliance, they abandoned it at the outset of WW1. Secondly Belgium was just the public justification, in private Lloyd George wanted to intervene to preserve his majority in the House of Commons and the Atlantic sea ports, neither of which are good reasons, Belgium had little to do with it.

The Russian revolutions were a direct result of war. The 1905 concession was only made because of the failure in the Russo-Japanese war, and the Russian Revolution was only because of WW1. War destabilised Russia to the point of revolution. The ever increasing democracy after 1905 would have eventually led to a much more stable Russia if it hadn't been for WW1.

I didn't predict what could have happened, all I'm saying is that it's hard to predict a future that would have been worse than what we got. It's very unlikely that a Fascist France would have been nearly as bad as a Fascist Germany. France had a seriously declining birth rate in the early 20th century and lacked the manpower to fight an prolonged offensive war, something along the lines of the Holocaust wouldn't have occurred either, the reason it occurred in Germany was because of the centuries of Antisemitism and nationalist fever which France didn't have to anywhere near the same extent.

They could have been avoided quite easily if the last two Emperors weren't extreme reactionary.

They were only reactionary because the Emperor that proceeded them was assassinated by revolutionaries despite being very progressive for a Tsar.
