<0> interesting, we attacked Iraq on March 19th 2003 , but Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia joined NATO in 2002....
<1> you dont have a fetish for butcher knives?
<2> laalaa-, with what?
<3> and the Danes and the Normans ... who else has invaded Britain
<4> the Jutes
<5> thetailor, with everything
<6> bmc, uh, no.
<7> OcDoc the romans
<3> KoBushi: duh ... oh yeah
<3> Hadrian's Wall
<1> apparently you havent seen the movies :P
<7> and they brought quite a hodgepoge with them in thier invasion :)
<3> 1066 and all that
<5> the romans invated 1/3 of the planet basically
<6> i invaded Britain, and I was the only one to make it not via Hastings
<6> I landed at Gatwick
<4> then came the Jamaicans
<3> William the Conquistador
<1> the romans controlled 1/3 of the planet
<2> laalaa-, can you be more specific?
<6> dont forget the Bangladeshis
<1> they didnt just invade it
<5> more specific with what?
<0> and Poland was invited in 1997 by Bill Clinton
<6> Tailor, it's a futile pursuit with that one.
<4> then the Nigerians
<5> sure i can just let me know
<3> Malheur: I invaded through the back door at Oxford
<4> and the AAAA-rabs
<6> OcDoc, nice.
<2> laalaa-, try and make sense.
<6> OcDoc, back door rocks.
<7> ... The Romans didn't invade or control 1/3rd of the planet.. they didn't even have all of modern-day europe
<5> thetailor, with romans or americans?
<1> they controlled from england into parts of asia
<1> at the height of their empire anyways
<5> the romans colonialized 2/3 of America
<2> err, try to make sense, what are you talking about with this 'self centered' nonsense.
<6> American imperialism covers a smaller area than the British ever did. Smaller area, but a larger linguistic group with a larger economy as percentage of worldwide GDP
<7> North America, South America, Australlia and Asia, and the southern portion of Africa, plus the nothern regions of Europe, were all out of Roman control
<1> into north africa
<3> Malheur: my dad brought half of me to study, me mum arrived later via Queen Elizabeth with the other half, they got together in a flat on the High Road and voila
<7> bmc only if yu define turkey as "asia" :P
<3> instant Brit
<6> the American empire is smaller, but deeper; culturally and economically speaking
<6> 6% of the earth, 6% of its population, with 30% GDP
<8> hmmmm Romans in America.... that might explain that strange looking huge ancient stone fort in NY
<5> thetailor, by self centered I mean thinking they're better than everyone else just because they're under the star flag
<1> the american empire has along way to go
<7> Malheur that's because the US benefits from the previous conquests of the Brits, and the linguistic legacy they left
<1> we're less than 300 yrs old
<1> thats an empire in its infancy
<9> the only good thing to result from british tv
<9> is benny hill parodies
<6> KoBushi, i think there's moer too it than that, at least, from what I'm going on in Empire of Wealth
<6> more to
<3> Herzen: don't forget Monty Python and Mr. Bean
<6> the thing is, most under the British EMpire didn't consider themselves British
<2> laalaa-, you have an inferiority complex.
<10> Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is working on a new set
<10> of safety guidelines for next-generation robots
<10> **** ary
<6> but nearly everyone in the American empire considers themselves American
<10> bad paste
<5> thetailor, oh, you're a shrink now?
<6> that, and the American empire is smaller than it was years ago, say, 100 years ago, and that is by choice.
<6> the British Empire had no choice.
<5> The United States are in their early teens right now, that's how I'd put it
<6> i think it is a bare fact of American political philosophy
<5> having all those puperty age problems
<2> laalaa-, you were looking for an answer to a stupid claim, I gave you one.
<6> American English is the dominant world langauge. it is even creeping into Britain itself.
<5> thetailor, i wasnt looking for an answer, i already have it :D
<7> Malheur hurray hollywood! lol
<3> laalaa: there are few "nations" in Europe that are the same culture and boundaries that they were 100 years ago, so we're even
<5> malheur, hahaha :D
<4> isn't laalaa- one of the Teletubbies?
<6> economic imperialism, led by freedom, spreading culture
<10> the first attempt at a formal version of the first of Asimov's Laws of Robotics: "A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a
<10> human being to come to harm." Japan's ministry guidelines will require...
<6> KoBushi, that's a huge part of it, yeah
<10> were getting xclose :)
<5> dedannan, yeah
<4> 'nuff said
<6> american technological advances
<2> laalaa-, then don't bore us with your stupid questions if you have already answered them.
<6> the cultural imperialism is freaking powerful
<5> "bore us"
<5> who'se "us? you?
<6> britain relied on military might
<5> now you're self centered again
<10> Malheur, lol keep dreeming
<6> but the Dollar is more powerful
<5> yeah, the dollar almighty is falling and falling
<6> Nemes, it's an academic thesis. challenge it, if yo uwant.
<6> laalaa, i dont mean the currency...
<6> i mean economic imperialism.
<3> laalaa: it's fallen before
<4> hmm...Britian's 'military might' was pretty much limited to the Royal Navy...the British Army was relatively small during the 19th century
<6> it's more effective than guns.
<10> lol conservative americans are getting delusional now as to believe that the invbenters of the english language arew now going to change it in favour of a bastardized verison?
<6> DeDannan, this is true.
<10> get real
<10> go check this years version of the oxford english dictionary
<3> laalaa: as the rest of the world's economy catches up to us, there has to be some evening-out
<6> Nemes, i study lingusitics and american history, chump
<6> id like to think i know what im talking about.
<10> so
<10> i study my own **** soemtimes
<6> oh, and OED holds offices in, get this: NEW YORK ****ING CITY.
<5> malheur, i get that but my point being, the US economy is eventually going to fall down to China and Europe
<11> we have pay $260,000 for that search on a farm for jimmy hoffa
<6> more people speak American English than British.
<10> what has that got to do with anythi8ng?
<10> ya sure
<7> Nemes ... the British already use a bastardized version of the original english language :)
<6> it has to do with debasing your retarded challenge to my thesis
<5> you speak the language that comes from the Britishg
<7> Nemes no one uses original english anymore :P
<6> laalaa, American English is a dialect.
<3> laaalaaaaa: no, you're catching up to us
<6> a dialect group, really, comprising several hundred dialects
<5> ocdoc, "you" "us"
<6> more people speak Ebonics than British
<7> Nemes hell, the Appalachian accent in the US is closer to Shakespearian english than anything spoken in the UK today
<5> again i don't define myself as anything or representing any union or anything, i'm just stating facts
<10> Malheur, I am trauning your argument about english people speaking your bastardized american verison of english are more in numbers in england than those that speak the queen english
<3> laaalaaaa: if we stop giving you a break it will stop happening, so be nice
<6> KoBushi, that is a popular misconception. it isnt.
<10> and thats just bull****
<4> Britain's Empire was just as much a commercial empire as anything
<10> we are the standard for the queen english
<10> queens english
<6> Nemes, i didn't say that.
<10> ffs we created it and continue to evolve it
<3> laaaaaalaaaaaaaaaa: if we decide to stop bailing youse guys out from your cowardly mistakes you'll be in a world of hurt
<6> "w"
<6> "we"
<6> the **** are you talking about "we"
<6> languages arent created
<7> DeDannan only in that they bnefitted from the commerce... they didn't really control with commerce
<5> "your cowardly mistakes"?
<6> aside from, say, Klingon and Esperonto and C++
<5> whose?
<5> and what cowardly mistakes?
<10> when a new word is OFFICIALY added to the queens standard english language it gets entered into the oxford english dictionary OFFICIALLY via an ENGLISH monitoring board
<3> heh
<10> so dont talk wet
<6> DeDannan, i dispute that highly. it was a military empire foremost.
<4> KoBushi, sure they did...India was a prime example...
<3> okay ... I have to go earn and american dollar to pay the mortgage ... laterz guyz and dollz
