After all that jumping up and down, when we look at the real world. I cannot offhand think of a single Chinese top executive of one of the reputed international firms. Of course, as compensation, I can think of any number of Chinese hero-entrepreneurs cowering under the blankets due to the...

Sadly, this is the reality. All that has been said about Chinese achievements of dramatic increases in their university or research institution ranking is correct. It is vitiated by the unnatural system of government that they have, and the inherent defect in their economy, their politics and...

Indeed. At that time, it was impossible - actually, beyond impossible, it was irrelevant - to seek out the ethnicity of the entire creative matrix. It was one of the unique moments in human cultural history. However, I beg to remind you that it was not the only one.

Personally, I am well aware of these distortions; bits of trivia floated across my mind as I watched this, for instance, the possible connection of English common law with Sharia, that started when the Plantagenets sent clerics to study judicial systems in de Hauteville Sicily (an island that...

Good point. Well said. I have no business, as an outsider, talking about Pakistan's problems and the probable or even possible solutions. Restricting myself to the affairs of my own country has been my guiding principle from the outset, some 14 long years ago. Of course that does not include...

Good point. Well said.

I've always been fond of you and your direct honest talk, little brother, and this post is a golden example. Bless you. What many of us are arguing, Muslim as well as Hindu, is that this is just not big enough to take up so much time from so many people. Nothing more. So we go by your...

THIS is profound! Perhaps the most profound that we may expect.

It's the purest fun available on line. Bash on. :rofl::rofl::rofl: Pacifist is a bad thing. Even if it gets a country rich, and the reverse gets a country bankrupt (hint, hint!). Historically a chest of gold - er, how do you think a culturally backward country gets rich to sit on chests of...

As their gimcrack country collapses, they get more and more belligerent.

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as every important strategic analyst knows. Now that we have been put in our place, relax and watch the rant (these are not audible but merely visible rants). I'll get the popcorn if you like.

He's a cricket player? Ah, so. That explains the envy and spite. I don't keep up with cricket these days, now that it has become so totally a fixed racket run by Dons from Dubai and Clifton. Please include me out, as far as those vicious remarks by our certified turd with a supposed sense...

...but...but...but Titanium Tony wants to fight (and win - very important, MUST be mentioned) a war.

:rofl: Here we go. Titanium brains in action again. :taz: Main battle tanks to be deployed by the Encircling Army

Wrote a horrible post. Will re-write and re-post later. Sorry.

He already has 44 negatives, therefore impervious to anything external. It would take a hand-grenade to shut him up.

Genuinely interesting. Thanks. You are forgiven.

THANKS. MILLIONS. :mad:

A biochemist with an attitude, oozing Islamophobia at every pore, with a belligerent attitude towards history that he has not written during the previous half-hour, and you expect sensible comments on economics from him? Good luck.

Why are you spending time with this juvenile idiot? It will turn out that he is a teenager with an internet connection, taking out his frustrations with life in Germany by bragging his backside off about vapourware. 44 negative ratings! What's wrong with you? @Foinikas @Philosopher
