falxori 0 #29 January 31, 2005 Quote1. Repost yeap Quote2. Its Racist a little bit, yes. i dont like this post at all. i dont think jews or any other have better genes. maybe its because the jewish culture is very book oriented or maybe they've spent most of their lives as an oppressed minority that has to prove itself more. i dont know, as i said i don't like these statistics. Quote3. It's incorrect, number of Jews is much larger really? there are 12-14M jews in the world depending on whether you're counting people with mixed parents. Quoteand I'm sick of you pro israel knobs. did someone say "racist" ? and i dont remember this post said anything about Israel. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

jazzjumper 0 #30 February 2, 2005 So out of over 1 billion Muslims world wide, the educated, middle class Muslims that have access to Nobel prize opportunities are severely outnumbered by 12 million Jews? That in itself should embarrass the Muslim community. The answer begs a philosophical discussion, one that could probably lead to wonderful exchanges with the brain power out here. Someone mentioned that the muslim (islamic) community somehow stopped progressing and giving to modern culture and philosophy at some recent point in history. I'd take that a step further and suggest this occurred in multiple phases, most during the last 5 centuries with tremendous advances in industry and modern science. The past 100 years (oil producing) have lead to entire nations that don't have to work (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar to name a few.) These nations support their citizens outright, with oil and gas money earned from the sale of natural resources to western cultures. They hire third country nationals to run the country in almost every way. With that in mind, innovation is not a product of a person who is satisfied with their socio-economic status in life. Invention is the product of unreasonable men and women who dare to dream of doing better. Many of the extreme Islamic schools of though go directly against that type of progress. Whether it be through religious intolerance, fanaticism, or envy, the result is the same...entire nations where the majority of the citizen populace is content with the status quo. If you spoil one of your kids, and teach another to work hard and earn for his/herself, which one would you expect to give the most back to society? No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
