weak

cheer up.
second place isn't bad.

incredibly creative

don't be angry. i think canada won a few medals... in horse dancing or badminton, i think...

First place is better:)

total bullshit.

I wasn't aware there was a country called "European Union." Looks like another intelligent post by DorkJedi.

Not much different then Americans with 10x the population of Canada crowing to Canadians because they got 10x as many medals. :1orglaugh

20 years from now the world will most likely be dominated by the EU and China.. unless something major happens.

25 states in the EU versus 50 in the US

You're welcome

haha now I never can speak that nick normal again

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

GO THE AUSSIES!!!

Australia won more per capita than either US or EU

Way more

They are countries, not states. Surely you aren't really that stupid...are you?

Lets not try to defend Canada.

Wow! We get to claim the medals for everyone in the EU. Rock on.

Aren't they countries, not states???

national anthem of the EU: Beethoven's Ode to Joy
capital: Brussels

oh and if we can do that why can't the UK claim every country in the Commonwealth. So, we get to have Australia's medals too. It just gets better!





dumbass

I'm not. I wish I could give a fuck about the Summer Olympics. :1orglaugh

Its just fun watching people get riled up when it's all so stupid.

EU is the United States of Europe

Canada was an embarrassment :BangBang:

it can't be a national anthem..thanks

But I don't think we had representatives from all 50 states? How many total Olympicans did the US have? How many total Olymians did the EU group have?

Per capita, Canada did better than the US

But anyway it is union!! It is almost like one country!

A state and country are words that can be intermixed depending on the situation. All country's are states but not all states are countries.

But his other point is till stupid.

:Graucho

Wow a continent beat a country. Congrats.

Brazil - Gold: 4 / Silver: 3 / Bronze: 3

I'm proud to be 18th :glugglug

Most olympic sports now have zonal qualifiers---countries can't just send their national teams as in the past.

Did you see what Romano Prodi said? He hoped that the athletes from the EU countries would use both their own flag and the EU flag in Beijing. :mad:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

USA rock!

Even if you included all of North America (Canada, US, and Mexico), they still would not have got more medals than Europe, and on a per capita basis it wouldn't even be in the top 20

Ever heard of North American continent ?

Technically they beat North America too.. another continent!

Us Canucks are sorry for letting the team down.

There are 25 COUNTRIES in the EU... find out how many states in each country and add them up and come back to make an intelligent post.

Per capita medals:

US: 1 medal for every 2.84 million people

Canada: 1 medal for every 2.7 million people

EU: 1 medal for every 1.625 million people

Australia: 1 medal for every 408,000 people

Who cares,as long USA got the gold in basketball it's all good for me.



















oh wait :1orglaugh

Does anyone have any number about the amount of medals for each continent?

You = OWNED.

yeah i heard that but it won't happen. Hell, the Sun's Editor's head would explode first. I mean, the UK won't even enter a team into the footie because it would mean they wouldn't be able to have seperate England, Scotland, and Wales teams in the World Cup. So, can you see it happening across the whole EU?

let's get the statistics of black atheletes over white athletes for states now :-)

No we're not. :winkwink: :1orglaugh

2pac would be ASHAMED of you.

well..not for nothing but not everyone on the continent is in the EU.

this makes your penis larger how?
