My friend once said this. " Why do you need a time-machine anyways? Want to see the middle-ages? Just go to the Middle-East. Wanna see the Stone-Age? Just go to Africa. Want to see our bleak future? Just go to China. "
| Yeah | 10 | |
| Nah | 12 |
sounds like the kind of shit some types of asshole say in the south in order to get a rise and determine in they're in good company.
The Middle-East is medieval? Nah man, 10th century vikings would find them uncivilized and disgusting.
Some places in the middle east havent even come near the technology or glory of the european middle ages. Afghanis were drinkin camel piss while europe was conquering the world and drinkin wine from golden cups
I don't understand why you adopt such a derogatory attitude towards the Middle East
Also what glory did Europe have in the middle ages? Europeans were shitting and pissing in their castles (some of their castles stink to this day)and had no concept of soap or toothbrushes. Kinda hard to picture glory in such an image
While in the late middle ages, the middle east built the ottoman empire. A list of the few things they invented in those 600 years that were later credited to the Oh-so-glorious-gold-cup-wine-sipping europeans: Concurrent legal systems, big data management, massive artillery, military bands, modular furniture, toilets, heavy industrial plants, endowment system, air flight (yes the twin brothers just developed on an already existing idea stolen from Ahmet Celebi), Encyclopedia, rockets, science fiction, dried dairy products, data protection law, vaccines, free psychiatric care, candy bars, cadet systems, cymbal, explosion mining, environmental protection, air current filtration, map of the atlantic, humanitarian intervention, coffee and cafe culture, heavy duty soups, thermos, high heels, kiosks, public transport, etc. etc. etc. I could go on about the scientific discoveries as well (Algebra, surgery, optics, etc.) but you got the point.
Anyways, we can't compare Dubai to Moldova now can we?
