OK people keep saying "What is keeping China from making lots of maths and sciences?"

And nobody really responded to what I said about the fact that genetically they are at a huge disadvantage in my opinion

That, and also the majority of the population is extremely poor

But they have one of the fastest growing economies, DM. If not THE fastest. So the population is poor, but its changing.

Your comment about genetics has no basis in research, if you mean intellectually. You were non-specific & sound racist. Shame on you.

As for the rest, its really a numbers issues. It only takes a small fraction of their population to blow ours out of the water.

Here, if you are going to waste time watching vids, at least watch one that's interesting:

Music aside, that's a great video.

Wow, I am impressed by these statistics. Now I am getting the **** off here and going to read!

Italy.

The food is delicious.

The people are lazy.

And the women are absolutely gorgeous.

why whats wrong with this?

people don't like it when i put multiple ideas in the one thread...so ive been told anyway.

That was me. She was putting way too many unrelated questions in one thread and it was hard to respond to them all at one time. It's much better this way, at least for a person who has somewhat limited time on the forums like me.

Those girls look Swedish.

You dumb bitch.

[Lipp]

I'd pick japanese.

But yeah, these threads are quite tiring as they commonly either don't make sense, are of little interest or are poorly constructed. Quality over quantity, por favor.

[shh!]

You dumb bitch.

Ha! What, are you upset they aren't Estonian? Don't you like Swedes?

I like cultures that can openly bash themselves without any feelings of victimization or resentment. I like how Aussies can openly laugh at themselves and everything that surrounds them.

[starbuck]

I can laugh at American culture, too. But don't you think it's quite different when a culture is self-mocking as opposed to an outsider looking in? Once you've lived among the people for a while, then you earn the right to mock it. Otherwise you're running the risk of stereotyping.

[shh!]

And "for a while" is longer than the length of a vacation.

[starbuck]

You dumb bitch.

And, Booba, this comment seems weird and random. Is there a particular reason you're throwing a tantrum here?

That's not a type of culture I like. I like cultures where you don't earn any rights to mock, you just do it when you feel like it and are happy when others mock yours, I'm happy with two way mocking. I like non-anal cultures that don't look up at themselves too highly.

Probably got to do something with the fact that he lives amidst a horde of alcoholics in one of the most violent countries in the world.
