Pirates have boarded, cap'n!

And I get called a "racist"...

is no racist is stating facts

I am not particularly upset, but some people might not like the phrase "jumping bean Mexicans".

The forums are very sensitive to anything smacking of "racism", I would be careful what one says in regards to that, lest you be taken less seriously than you would hope.

Although I, for one, have no problem with (hopefully) drunken posts celebrating the greatness that is Mike Phelps.

lol drunk lol ha

As a Brit living in South Korea I must say I'm very proud of both countries ... shame about the football though it does make work harder :/

all hail america!!!!!

Woohoo! Congrats Epke!

o say can you seeeee yes u can its america fool!!!

Buddy, I hope you realize that your drunken posts are making America look worse than that asshole Mitt Romney. Chill out. Do you not have anyone to celebrate these things with, other than the uncaring Warlight forums?

wait you have a problem with mitt romney would you rather socialist obama got another term and america falls apart just like europe where ppl die cuz the doctors turn them away and theres such high inflation people wait in bread lines because thats obamas america not mine

hellbender, people everywhere wait in lines....
people in developed countries in Europe do not get turned away from hospitals....

OBAMA!!!!! AMERICA!!!!!! i thought we were supposed to be talking about the olympics

These right-wing batshit crazy religious conservatives do indeed like telling everyone how batshit crazy they are. Let's stay on topic! Last I saw, China was still leading the medal count. Not much time to get back into it, really, I think China will take the medals race...

The United States now leads by 4 medals overall, China has 2 more gold medals...It depends on what you're going for.

I think both are important, but if you look at rankings, they give the lead to whomever has the most golds. For example, if two countries have the same medal count, the one with the most golds will win.

Just hoping that track and field and basketball will be enough to give us the edge, but it is a very very close race.

well america will obviously win Basketball and we get first and second in womens volleyball, not sure if that has happened yet, and now that ping pong is over the chinese wont get anymore medals (that was a joke please dont take offense) but it will be close

i think the points system should be 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze

it would be a lot fairer, and you wouldnt see countries with over 20 medals down the leaderboards because they dont have any golds
