This Is An Interesting Question
#34
RE: This Is An Interesting Question
Quote:Strongest super-power ever?
By what metric ? . Land , Economics ,Advancement over x period of time, Global influence,

Quote:Huge innovator, changing the face of the world with internet, home computers
All of which was built on pervious civilizations . Like the scientific knowledge of the European powers . Oh and the internet was a British invention . And the first model personnel computer was developed in Germany.


Quote:One of the first countries to rebel against European imperial powers?
To bad a third world country like Cuba beat you to it. And rebellion is not the sign of a great nation. the power to solve problem without killing thousands of people is preferable. And considering the rebellion was not even a popular one....

Quote:Even slavery was a sign of greatness.  One culture was so far advanced in technology that it was essentially able to rape all the others, world wide, at will.  Great.
No the ability to enslave other is not a sign of greatness .It's sign of savagery .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
