In which John discusses slavery, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, George Washington, and the evil baby orphanage from Venice.
Not sure if that was a good or bad comment about Canada, but i just wanted to say– at what time in history would the orphanage take place? and I don’t know how their parents would react seeing as most probably don’t belong in an “orphan”age.
This video was made up my berfday!
thumbs up for “the Canada model” and its awesome beer!
brilliant
@toastvp2010 I believe Dare meant that the nerdfighters in the future did the best they could do without completely destroying the timeline. Perhaps they did kidnap Hitler and in turn it caused something drastic (and/or negative) to the timeline, but it’s also possible that these time-traveling nerdfighters were able to take people who were just as bad or even maybe *worse* then him. Thus creating the world we live in now.
See what I mean?
1) America still had some pretty good beer before prohabition. we won many awards. 2) George Washington, no genius but he was pretty good at fighting wars. As for who’s a good canidate for the evil baby orphanage if Hitler and Nepolian(I think I spelled that right) are in there we might as well go by crazy people with one… y’know
@toastvp2010 hi I just want to interrupt your argument; yes Hitler was a terrible person and he killed thousands of people, but it was because of the war that womens rights exist. If you take away Hitler then you take away the war, therefore you take away the world we live in today where women in most societies have free will.
@DareYou2Smile Um, then why was HITLER not taken! I get some people, like George Washington, need some thought, but Hitler needs absolutley none. He killed millions of people. If this was the best possible history that future nerdfighters could come up with, then awesome changed its definition in the future.
I think the man who takes the (evil) babies from their mothers should be sent and therefor unable to go back in time to get the evil babies which makes him not evil so he shouldn’t be in the orphanage in the first place. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH paradoxes
@ILoveDrakeAndJosh Oh, I didn’t catch that part! Thank you for clearing that up. It would have also drastically changed the way we think about politics (states’ rights v. federal rights), race relations, and civil rights issues.
@jasminisatreehugger yeah you did miss something XP he’s saying slvery would’ve ended in america earlier because Britain was the nation that initially said “hey slavery sucks, don’t do it anymore” and they basically went and stopped slavery everywhere. If america was their colony and people from Britain kept moving over there, the americans might’ve adopted this mind-set early on and easily went along with the no slave policy. And then the civil war would’ve never happened.
0:25 PASTA~!!
omigosh omigosh Omigosh OMIGOSH!!!!!! If you pause the video at 0:35 you will notice that it is the same spot where they filmed that one bit of Doctor who thats in the trailer for the vampires of venice. Just thought you should know.
it’s all about the butterfly effect
I think this is a really interesting topic to discuss. Although John is correct in saying that delaying the separation from Britain would greatly change the direction of US history, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the transatlantic slave trade (which began with Europeans) would end nor does it mean that international slave labor (for imports/exports etc.) would end either. I think that was a bit of a jump. Or maybe I missed something.
In regards to the question candidacy for the EBO, and the complexity of history, I cannot help but think of the (fictitious?) example of Gellert Grindelwald vs Albus Dumbledore. GG was evil, yes, but if he’d been in the EBO he wouldn’t have met AD, and Ariana wouldn’t have died, which means AD may not have reformed, which means that if GG had been in the EBO, AD might have become a Dark Lord, and thus we would have to go back again and put him in the EBO too and who knows where that’d leave us.
JOHN WANT TO MAKE US ALL BRITISH! NOO—– Wait, then I could watch Doctor Who, YESSSSS
@DareYou2Smile
Or maybe nerdfighters from the future create an evil baby orphanage and the effects are so significant they cause a parallel universe to form? In that scenario, we are stuck in this universe and even if we create an evil baby orphanage, it won’t effect us.
The idea of this orphanage is great, but there is no such thing as an evil baby. The entire concept of the evil baby orphanage is, in fact, based on the belief that there is no such thing as an evil baby, since presumably the goal is to raise the “evil” babies in such a way as to prevent them from becoming evil. I feel like it should be renamed. The obvious name is the potentially evil baby orphanage, but that’s a mouthful, so if anyone else has ideas they would be welcome.
If George Washington was, in fact, prehabilitated at the Evil Baby Orphanage, what’s to stop another George-Washitarian figure to emerge? The Revolutionary War was nbound to happen sooner or later, and George Washington was just there, in a position of power. If not him, it would have been someone else.
The answer to your final questions is: Intent.
More or less.
Evil Baby Orphanage: “Why rehabilitate when you can PREhabilitate!”
If it was somehow revealed that John and Hank were good candidates for the evil baby orphanage and were brought there, would that destroy time, as it would have destroyed the evil baby orphanage they were brought to?
george washington was 6 ft 1 1/2 in. sorry john
