RE: Lighter Skin = Better?
Gingers are the ultimate in civilisation.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

RE: Lighter Skin = Better?
If life was a game of civilization I think the league table would look pretty much like

1 Great Britain
2 America
3 Rome
4 China

Taking into account past achievements such as conquests and empire size and technological advances.

At the bottom would probably be

Native americans
Native Australians
Africa


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

What a stunningly ethnocentric and modern centric view?

In 5000 year span of human civilization, what is a mere century and change of preminance by pip squeaks such as Britain or America?

The pyramids of Ancient Egypt marked the center of world power, culture and civilization for 2000 years before anything like any comparable power arose.

China was supreme in power, wealth, and technological advancement for 1000 years

Rome bestrode the known world like a colossus for 700 years

Next to these of what account is the US, whose dominance has lasted but 100 years and seem set to last not more much than maybe two decades; or Britain whose supremacy can charitably be said to last only 150 years, provided one overlooks the fact that during much of this 150 years, she wasn't actually supreme by any significant margin over her peers, she just played a balance of power game with others?

No. Native American culture may have come to an untimely end, but who is to say ours won't? But while it lasted, Native Americans of central and South America exhibited a cultural continuity that at least matched those of the ancient Egyptians, who remain to this day the undisputed champion of longetivity of civilizational preeminance in the old world.

Shouldn't Persia be at the top?

Not necessarily at the top, but certainly higher than America or Britain.

Yes! I've been looking for the complete online free version of this for ages. Everytime I looked I kept finding condensed partial versions.

NOW ITS MINE! ALL MINE!

Glad I could help Big Grin

BTW if you guys on this forum have a book discussion thread, this would be a terrific tome to chat about.

Why does Africa always get lumped into one monolith? There are thousands of cultures and have been hundreds (if not thousands) of civilizations throughout Africa's history. Let's not forget, Egypt is in Africa and Great Zimbabwe, if you're going by architectural standards.

Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" or go on relishing all the ways in which you and yours just obviously seem to be superior to everyone else. You might also try cultivating more reflectiveness generally.

I was going to try to resist being dragged into the derail. Really.

I can totally spank you better than Xenu.

But maybe not better than Rhythmn.

Resistance is only acceptable as a reason for more discipline.
