Conquering and immigration aren't the same.

in the context of my original post, it is.  most immigration to the USA was the result of military conquest (korea,china,vietnam, mexico, dominican republic, cuba)  while your immigrant citizens are from pakistan and india and jamaica.


thats beside the point,. are you going to argue that american pop culture hasnt conquered the world?

I'm not going to argue on the pop culture point.

But you didn't really conquer any of those countries.

thats not true in the least.  it doesnt even matter what you define as conquered?  OK, I concede china and korea.  but vietnam and latin america?  very much conquered.

In the examples you named we governed India and Jamaica with British people installed as the government. And created Pakistan with the breakup of British rule in "India".

I saw a documentary about an Iraqi rower training for Beijing, on Tigris he had to be careful not to hit all the bodies floating in it...

are you at all familiar with the military actions of the united states against ANY country in latin america?  I dont think you are because if yu were you wouldnt be arguing this point.

So you wouldnt consider invasion of Iraq as a military conquest?

Yes Iraq was a military conquest. But it wasn't solely America. And it's hardly a "colony".

China have a more complete team than the US, but prob drugged up their athletes up to the eyeballs.

so GBR takes the best all round olympic team

I think you're using the word conquest wrong.

Who would have thought the slavery thing would have worked out so well - in terms of sports at least?

And to think Americans used to pay for money for them expecting to get work out of them.
My god thats funny.

Anyway, Britain 14 Golds, Australia 1. I'd support both sides if the Aus press didn't try to turn every single event where Britain and Aus are competing into some kind of grudge/hate match.

i wish would look at medals per capita and/or medals per GDP
comparing the medal totals from countries 100+ millions to countries 10 million is pretty ludicrous.
