Au contraire. I'm hoping to visit some of the remains of the British Empire this winter. There are at least 8000 people stuck on rocks in the middle of the sea with nothing much to do other than sexually exploit underage people. That's not to be sniffed at.
How's YOUR empire doing?
You should go to BVI, aren't they you ... what is it? Protectorate? Paradise. Or almost, they don't sell their kids to tourists...
Our Empire is doing just fine, never had one, never will. Why buy a cow when you can get the milk for free?
Got a steady supply of migrant workers to do our dirty work (South Mexico on one side, North Mexico on the other), we got it made

a tower with 4 officers in it, was gunned down by an F16.
Did they get all the officers? Was it like a mini gun, one of those motor driven things with a bunch of barrels that spits a solid stream of death at a rate of over 9000 rounds per second? Or newfangled missiles?
Wow, you're going to Pitcairn?
American here, have no idea what or where everything is, so Googled it. Misread "Pitcairn Islands Tourism | Come Explore.." as "Come Exploit."
