So you are unaware of the goings on in the year 1776?

How about you define empire? I'm sure Leopold II left lots of decorative plaques for you to learn about it on.

What? Do you think becoming independent makes you an empire? Jeez, I would say stay in school and learn some fundamentals, but then again you're in the US. This is pointless

Jeez I asked for a definition of empire. I'm sure that a resident of the most horrific colonial power in all history knows what it means. So tell me.

Edit: lol it just struck me how funny it is for a Belgian to say the USA's hegemony will be forgotten, most living humans couldn't even find you guys on a map.

a resident of the most horrific colonial power in all history That pales in to insignificance compared to the US. You get those numbers every decade when youfeel the need to liberate another defenseless country from their resources.
