LuckNES2: The Fatal Balance

OOC: I suppose. The more amusing thought to me is Saddam Hussein cursing at the the sky "Damn you, Moderator, that isn't what I meant!"
 
Only in India. Due to the complete and utter degradation of the Indian race, it was judged necessary to deprive them of their freedom until such time as they had been raised to the level of civilized men. We also find it amusing that the only one of us who references skin colour is you.

Educating savages is indeed our motive. We have never denied that, for a noble motive it is. You proclaim your love of your culture, so surely you understand how we feel about our culture, which is actually something to be proud of.

HAH! The white men are truely ignorant fools. Pray tell how far does your cultural influence streach? How many religons were created in your land? How many great poetic, literary, architectural, religous, and scientific masterpieces do you posess?

Your culture pales in comparisio to the culture of India. India is home to Hinduisim, Buddhisim, Sikhisim, and Jainisim. Four religons that are still in existence today, and who's followers reside across South East Asia, Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea, and Afghanistan. Can you claim the same? How many religons do you claim to have given birth to? Oh thats right...none.

And the reason for this is clear. For the past 5,000 years India has been home to the greatest civillization in the world, whose power and wealth were unrivaled. We had the first universities, the first martial arts, the first medical innoculations, India lead the world in math, science, and medecine.

When the Europeans believed that the sun revolved around the Earth, and Gallieo was persecuted for saying otherwise, the great Indian astronomer Ayabhtaa had alredy discovered such and measured the circumfrence of the earth. Can Britian claim to have done anything as great?

India was also where the numerical concept of the zero was invented. In India there is an iron pillar that never rusts, an achievement unrivalled even with modern technology. India was where the first large scale use of rocket attacks occured. Perhaps you will recall the Anglo-Mysore war, where our forces unleashed mass rocket barrages, upon the British army terrifying them so much that they fled, abonding their artillery in a tank, and losing 2,000 men in the process. Truely was the nature of the British reveled that day.

And now you DARE have the balls to suggest your patehtic culture even macthes ours, or that your achievements are greater than ours? HOW DARE YOU! While your decendents were living in mud huts picking ticks out of their hair we were making unrivalled achievements in arts, science, religon, and medecine! Never has such achievements ever been rivaled and never will such achievements ever be rivalled by the likes of you!

The British are incapable of their own developments, they must steal the wealth, and power that others posess. How do you think you had your precious little industrial rveloution? Where do you think the wealth and raw materials came from? It came from India! The industrial reveloution was built on the back of the Indian people! Without the rubber, the cotton, the gold, diamonds and iron ores of India that you looted from us you would be NOTHING! All the developments and achievements of Britian were stolen from its colonies as a leech drains blood from its host! You sucked the colonies dry to finance your own gain! AND NOW YOU DARE SUGGEST THAT YOU DID IT FOR SOME ALTURISTIC REASON!

NONSENSE! Britian has done nothing since the beginning of its history that is worth of any note. You barbarians fought and looted and raped, and that is how you developed. You call yourselves civillized. WHO IS THE TRULY CIVILLZED?

Is it you who have throughout your entire history waged war, after war against your neigbour, who have endlessly sought to conquer, and kill, and have used the loot of these conquests to build your domain?

Or is it us, who have managed to develope our nation to the height of archietectural, medical, scientific, artistic, and religous achievements without ever so much as posessing a colony?

The answer is clear. Britian is a leech of a nation, a nation of rapists, murders, and thieves, a nation that feeds off those greater than them. And like all leeches Britian must be squashed. Your nation will soon be combined to the dustbin of history.

Now begone you filthy whoresons! We have no more to say to you, we shall settle your fate on the battlefield, and you shall pay dearly for your crimes.
 
Err... Do any of you realise that none of you really have any proper diplomatic channels left, now that you are all at war? And don't you - and your leaders - have anything better to do? Its kinda like Churchill writing Hitler an angry letter in the middle of the Blitz. :p

Lurker's Comment: I protest this statement! China has been home to the greatest civilizations in the world whose power and wealth were unrivaled :p You Indians really should know your betters in Asia without comparing the Europeans ;) I also protest your claim of having the first university, since the first higher education institution was in China, the Shang Hsiang in the 21st century BC. :mischief:
 
OOC: hate being dragged into this, but the official record concerning the actions of the British in Australia and toward the Aboriginal people will be answered shortly, as soon as I get a reply from the lucky.

Did China posess 30% of the worlds GDP until 1860? China cannot macth the number of scientific, technological, architetcural, and religous inventions that India produced nor the wealth.

As for the first university thats contraversial actually:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University

It dpeends on the defination of university. If you mean university in as simply educational institution than China is indeed the first, but if mean the actual university India is the first.

Relative to the above definition, there is controversy as to which university is the world's oldest. Takshashila University[1] may be the earliest, historically-documented universities. The original Latin word "universitas", first used in time of renewed interest in Classical Greek and Roman tradition, tried to reflect this feature of the Academy of Plato. If we consider university simply as a higher education institution, then it could be Shang Hsiang, founded before the 21st century BC in China according to legend. Later Taixue and Guozijian serve as the highest level of educational etablishment while academies became very popular as non-governmental etablishments teaching Confucianism and Chinese literature among other things. The choice for the oldest university is usually among Constantinople, Al Karaouine or Al-Azhar universities. Nalanda University, founded in Bihar, India around the 5th century BC conferred academic degree titles to its graduates, while also offering post-graduate courses. Another Indian university whose ruins were only recently excavated was Ratnagiri University in Orissa. Al-Azhar University, founded in Cairo, Egypt in the 10th century, offered a variety of post-graduate degrees, and is often regarded as the first full-fledged university. The University of Constantinople, founded in 849, by the regent Bardas of emperor Michail III, is generally considered the first institution of higher learning with the characteristics we associate today with a university (research and teaching, auto-administration, academic independence, et cetera). The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes the University of Al Karaouine in Fez, Morocco as the oldest university in the world with its founding in 859.

As you can see its not clear.


Also you should know where your cultural influence came from and it came from India.

As a result, the Indus Valley civilization appears to be a possible cradle of civilization, dated conservatively to 7000 BC. Western India may thus be a true source of the civilizing impulse that fed Anatolia in Turkey, with its complex Goddess-worshipping city-states of Çatal Hüyük and Hacilar.

Everywhere, Indian influence prevailed over the Chinese, and for evident reasons: an undoubted cultural superiority owing to much greater philosophic and religious insight. Indian Civilization respected the political autonomy of its colonies and the cultural freedom of all its units, and, on the whole, worked through peaceful penetration. The Chinese, on the other hand, proceeded by conquest, assimilation and absorption into all encompassing Chinese Civilization.

Lurker's Comment: The wealth??? THE WEALTH?!?!?! China was the wealthiest country (;)) in the world before the coming of the Industrial Revolution. I also contest your statement of 30% as China was the leading economy before the I.R :p While the Indus River Valley is home to the earliest civilization so to speak, it was hardly continuous in the same way with China. Yes, I know that's debatable as well.

And I don't see how China's culture came from India silver ;). In addition, the book the Soul of India comes from a PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWPOINT. And have you ever noticed before, silver, that the books you quote at me are all somewhat biased towards India? :p And if India's culture means anything in that sense in the quote, one could look at the history of the two areas and draw conclusions.
 
OCC: Gentlemen do not dog pile the British Empire

Only the English gentlemen. And possibly the Scottish, the Irish and the Welsh ones. USECian and GUAan gentlemen are exempt from that rule, I fear. And Indians, as is widely known, are savages and don't have gentlemen. :p The Japanese have the samurai, but that's not quite the same.

is there any country that isn't at war? cause i wann take it, once its small

Britain will be quite small after this war, and it probably won't be at war immediately AFTER the war.

GAUan! Like the vulcan cannon on the A-10 Lightning II, only it doesn't stand for Ground Attack Unit. I think you could just state "USEC and GAU gentlemen" in that instance too--as I understand it you don't modify acronyms to serve as adjectives, but use them as they are or use some component word (eg: someone from the USA is American--presumably USEC or GAU would be European and American as a result). I could be wrong though.

Well, technically Venezuela isn't at war, though that seems to be more from the fact Spain just hasn't bothered fighting for it than anything else.
