Well, what an astute contribution to the discussion at hand. I'm sure that telling Nazis to stfu is always effective methodology for you and seems to shut them right up. (eyeroll)

Default eh.

You don't have to, I just couldn't find such a treatment from the same source for comparison, thus my scenting of the Hebrew conspiracy.
Did it smell like latkes? Cause I love those.



Particularly with apple sauce.

True. Were the soldiers and missionaries more humane?
Only in terms of scale. And of course, we know about their bad behavior because of their reports of it.

Quote:
possibly. Depends on your sensibilities.
So, there is no overarching frame of reference upon which most of humanity can agree (i.e., that cutting up the dead and examining their entrails is barbaric, along with eating the dead, and mutilating women)?

Default hear, hear. Best post of the day!

IMO, it comes down to technology, economy and military. Those criteria are sufficiently objective IMo. It has changed throughout history. Right now, America leads everyone else.
I agree. Of course, by these standards, the germanic tribes and Rome would have been neck and neck. The germanic tribes would have won economically and militarily, Rome would have won technologically. When the two worlds collided and the Roman empire was destroyed, the Germanic tribe suffered as much as anyone else. The technology was lost for several hundred years.

I agree. But I freely admit that this is a subjective judgement. Whichever culture is superior in the above 3 criteria is almost always the one that gets to define the moral standard.
Agreed. Which is why, in spite of my liberal tendencies, I remain a hawk. I have no intention of allowing our country to relinquish it's pre-eminence anytime in the near future, and particularly to the Islamo fascists.

Quote:
Why?

I am confident their ideology is inferior to mine. Therefore I am not afraid of what they have to say.
INDEED. I don't believe in censoring Nazis. I believe in mocking them, publicly.

Quote:
Your irrationality is typical of many Europeans IMO...and a perfect example of why Europe will always be playing catch-up to America.
Europe (and I am excluding the British Isles from this) has ever needed to find a scapegoat for their own ineptitude.

Catz

shows how much you understand about Britain,

about the USA being techinally superior, I enjoyed taking the high speed train from Boston to miami, I mean no other country has such a well developed transport system

as to an earlier post why europe will always play cath up to America, I guess he's refering to social reform which beats up on the poor, we're way behind you on that one

Default Technological superiority

[quote="EiregoSod";p="55530"] ...about the USA being techinally superior...."

One of the world's greatest inventors, a Serb, is never mentioned because he made a comment to his secretary about not trusting Jews. BTW, he was awarded the patent on radio which Marconi stole from him 12 years after he died.

Tesla is one of the greatest physicists of all time, the unit of magnetism is called after him

all those patents involve many things that are taken for granted, notably electricty generation
