Iran enters the Mediterranean

But since you know, we're throwing out actual facts as a basis by which they're judged (since those are trivial data points) how can you even make a comparison between them and say, China, or Korea, or Sweden?

You can't compare them to the Chinese and Koreans, they were just poor benighted yellow fools who didn't have civilization under the Great White English-Speaking Hope gave it to them

Skin color has something to do with this?

I don't think it does.

Language? Very little. I also didn't know the French, who I also addressed, where English speaking. I thought they were French speaking, silly me.

Thanks for insinuating that I am racist Anglophile. I'm going to attribute this to some problem within yourself rather than with what I said.


I attribute the maturation of Christianity in the West to its advance well more than any other factor.

No thanks, don't feel like devoting the time.

I've noticed you don't like devoting time. If you feel learning about history is too much effort, you shouldn't feel the need to present your opinions on it.

Well, you still haven't clarified whether or not you accept the human rights abuses of Hitler or Stalin as necessary from the last thread, so it's not an unfair insinuation.

More like the rejection of Christianity in favour of secularism.

Um, the west is overwhelmingly Christian, to this day... so, how do you figure?

 

[civver_764]

Christian in tradition, not in practice.

 

[Patroklos]

No, also in practice, even today.

 

[Takhisis]

But it's not the same Christianity as it was a couple centuries ago.

 

[General Pilates]

No, also in practice, even today.

With such religious bastions as France

This thread was much more fun when it was about why Britain sucks.

 

[Takhisis]

INGERLAND sucks, the rest of the island is fine.

You get a pass for Peter Capaldi. But the Welsh still suck, though. Maybe even more than the Sassenach do.

 

[ParkCungHee]

More threads should focus on complaining about perfidious Albion.
It deserves it's own board, in my opinion.

 

[caketastydelish]

Lol... people are talking about Britain on this thread even though the OP was talking about Iranian warships.

Agreed. We didn't even really get to talk about the Home Rule Crisis and how GB pushed for the war!
