In my opinion, European culture is far more interested and "cultured" than African culture.

Herodotus referred to Egyptians, Nubians and Ethiopians as Aethiopian, "dark skinned" so as far as the Greeks were concerned Egyotians were as "black" as Nubians.

Its important to note though that the Greeks did not divide the world on racial lines, only by continent.

The existence of unicorns probably has more source material supporting their existence than this.

Think about it. Did Thomas Edison invent Electricity? No it already existed as energy, he just constructed a way to harness it to be useful to humanity. And even going up to Jet Fuel, it already in essence existed as a chemical, we just didn't know how to synthesize the formula for a while.

I never claimed Thomas Edison invented electricity?

Not only that, but they regarded pretty much ANYONE who wasn't Greek a "barbarian" and inferior and inherently meant to be slaves.

I want to see the evidence stating the Egyptians were white. Source?

I'd prefer not to see BESB's arsehole please.

Ever since i can remember, i have never wanted to smoke, i think its disgusting and deadly, in fact 3 out of 4 of my grandparents smoked, and only one lived to meet their grandkids. But the main reason i dont smoke is because of the risk of cancer. But it turns out not smoking all these years was a waste of time, because this post gave me cancer anyway.

Yes, it has North Korea. And at least we know North Korea exists. *nods*

This whole post is stupid. What's even worse is the fucking poll.

Troll OP is fail OP

If someone would like to make a thread for discussing the origins of various cultures and cultural diffusion, please do so but without the racism and trollishness evident in the OP here.

As was pointed out early on, troll-naming, the act of posting purely for the purpose of calling someone else a troll, is an actionable offense in these parts. Some Mods are more lenient than others regarding but do not mistake lack of action for non-enforcement of the rule.

And for whoever claimed to have stolen things from Kiengir, the Land of the Civilized Lords, don't worry, I know who you are. *smiles chillingly*
