    1%?

    Then why do we keep hearing about them in Germany, the USA, England and other countries, especially in the middle east?

    Or is it just an idol threat that dads use to try to force their daughters to accept a lesser station in life?

    I don't doubt it is a fringe element, but it seems to be accepted by much more than the 1% figure you are quoting.

    Uh, you do realize that the ancient Arabic countries made some of the biggest advances in human history, in Math, science and much much more.

    The Library of Alexandria was in....well...Alexandria......

    Those advances were what helped build modern day society.....

    Let's at least be real here.

    I didnt say whites invented everything, just a majority of inventions are ours. After whites, id say the Arabs contributed a lot. But Egypt is really mixed since they had a lot of Greek and Hindu influence.

    Europe ahead of the world in technology? ROFL. Maybe in the 1600's.

    Ancient Romans more technologically advanced than Africa? ROFL. Yes, swords and shields are much stronger than armor-piercing bullets.

    Caucasian-White/Europeans account for 99.9% of mankind's inventions? ROFL. I think you're thinking of 99.9% of mankind's problems.

    Please leave this thread now before you embarrass yourself more.

    But you do understand that minorities in America, for example, are disproportionately represented in the scientific community today? How do you explain that if is race-based as opposed to something else? I mean we basically pool scientists from the rest of the world, and have been doing so for the most part of the 20th century. Perhaps the West's greatest contribution to mankind is designing a political economic system of governance that fostered innovation and encouraged civil participation beyond anything the non-Western world could come up with. The fact that people from the rest of the world can migrate to the West and succeed is probably more of a credit to the system we set up here than some sort of genetic predisposition to success and failure.

    I dont know I am just throwing this out there. But just curious: where do the Jewish people fall here?

    OK. Russia, China, Japan are all countries that are more technologically advanced than any country in Europe. Has any country in Europe put a man OR EVEN A SATELLITE in space without the help of any other countries? No! Has Russia? Yes. Even China and India have put a satellite in space, and they have a billion people each to worry about.

    Do I really need to prove to you that the Ancient Romans are not more technologically advanced than the Africans? Are Roman chariots supposed to start flying magically and be equipped with missiles that can take down Libyan jet fighters? No, so quit being so disingenuous.

    As for 99.9% of mankind's inventions being created by Whites/Europeans... That's just a stupid figure you pulled out of your ass in an attempt to portray some race in a superior position over others.

    Your arguments are full of fallacies and only help disprove any point you try and make.

    You are a smart man but you are arguing about nothing, we do have smart people of all races, scientists, mathematicians, writers, etc. But Whites are credited with a high majority of inventions. The Western world is the most civilized, most beautiful, most organized place in the world with the best humanitary conditions and that itself is a fact.

    Are you gonna provide any proof for this claim you keep making that "Whites are credited with a high majority of inventions"?

    Otherwise you're just speaking out of your ass.

    You are probably right that honor killings are more accepted in traditional tribal cultures than the rest of the world. But even in most of those countries where honor killings take place they have laws against such practices, right? Just because the numbers are higher there than elsewhere does not mean it is accepted or legalized by their governments. But there is no denying that sexism is more prevalent there, I think that is the root of it all. Sexism and ageism are the foundation of the power structure in most tribal societies. Even in advanced but traditional societies like Japan, society punishes those who openly flout traditional gender roles. The construction of gender is a very powerful thing, entire civilizations have been built on a particular conceptualization of gender and the division of labor that comes with traditional gender roles.

    Russians are white, China and Japan would never be technlogically advanced without white influence, did you know that the first skyscraper in Japan is ONLY 40 years old? Japan and China have a billion people each? lol Japan has 100 million. Like I said the great Asian civilizations have too contributed to the world but the Whites did almost all.

    Libya also is Arab, not African. Great knowledge there buddy. I'll also stand by my claim that 99.9% of inventions are made by whites (because they are). Im also not trying to claim racial dominance, Im specifically putting facts out here.

    Do you realize that without the Arabs people would still be trying to figure out basic geometry and physics?

    I guess reading comprehension is something else you suffer from.

    I did not state Japan has a population of a billion. I stated India and China do. Learn to read. Skyscrapers are a relatively modern invention, and are also highly impractical.

    Libya is a country in Northern Africa. Libyans are considered Africans, not Arabians. Good job.

    Again, it would be wise for you to just leave the thread now instead of showcasing what is obviously grade school intelligence.

    Just because Libya's location is in Africa doesnt make their people Africans moron. I wouldnt call the people of Algeria, Morroco, and Egypt Africans, these people are Arabs and have the same complection and facial features as Arabs. You have no case, almost all inventions are by whites.

    At this stage of human history you are right, but the White race has not always been on top. Human civilization did not start 300 years ago! You are creating an artificial disconnect that does not exist, and in fact ALL that we know says otherwise. The Europeans did not invent Mathematics or Astronomy or the Natural Sciences, civilizations before them did (the Chinese, the Persians, the Greek, the Muslims, the Indians, and others). Then European scientists in the Middle Ages learned those sciences and expanded on the EXISTING body of knowledge. The Europeans did not wake up one day and invent the world, previous civilizations laid the groundwork for them. You are ignoring history, brother. White civilization did not exist in a vacuum.

    I won't argue that 99.9% stat because you would be hard pressed to prove that. WESTERN SECULARISM AND MILITARISM is what dominates the world and has contributed the most to the past century of scientific knowledge, but that is just me. I think strong nationalism and imperial competition were key to achieving the industrial revolution that propelled the West beyond the rest of the world. Military competition and expansionism has had more to do with scientific advancement that most would care to admit. This is true of Europeans as it was true of the Persians, Romans and Muslims before them. I think militarism has been key to scientific achievement, the agitation of war and conflict was necessary for state and empire building and the technological advancement of human civilization.

    So? Are you r****ded? It's no different than calling the people of Brazil South Americans. I am denoting what they are by there geographic location, not with nationality like you are doing.

    You have no case as you have provided no evidence for your asinine claim about 99.9% of mankind's inventions being created by Whites. This means, wait let me bold it for you so you have less trouble comprehending it: This means you are only posting your OPINION with no facts backing up.

    Im talking about races, whites, africans, arabs. Libyans are in the Arab category because I am talking about races get it? or is it gonna take another 15 posts for you to understand what I am writing? Brazilians also have nothing to do with this topic.

    You also dont need facts to give obvious statistics, most inventions are by whites.
