...that on average Western people are more civilized, especially in social situations. And needless to say, they pride themselves on it, and chastise and make fun of Eastern uncivility all the time.

But, I don't think that any more.

See http://www.brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=242451 for example of Eastern uncivility.

See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8973616/ for example of Western uncivility.

I am confused... someone explain...?

How can people who claim to be the pinnacle of human civilizaion and modernity act like that?

There lies your problem.

People are the same everywhere.

Western people aren't born with extra "etiquette" genes.

Gargs flushed your argument down the toliet with his first post. No one in here has agreed with your claims.

It is funny to see Indians backing each other up... especially since they are one of the most uncivilized people on this planet.

Anyway, no he didn't. I never claimed there was any "etiquette gene" like he said. I was talking about upbringing.

And plenty of people on here and in real life claim American civility and superiority all the damn time.

Quite telling that falkland is now using his hatred of me to be against me, when he has proclaimed superiority of his people on here as compared to Arabs plenty of times. Well, that just shows he is an opportunist and a hypocrite.

Everybody knows Asians and Arabs were civilized when Europeans were living in the Dark Ages.

"Calcutta Fire Marshal: Many Indian Homes Lack Bride Extinguisher CALCUTTA, INDIA—Failure to own or use a bride extinguisher results in millions of rupees of property damage in India annually, Calcutta fire marshal Prasad Chandra said in a press conference Monday. "This tragedy occurs far too often when well-meaning husbands, attempting to collect on a dowry, ignite their brides indoors. The damage is often compounded when a burning bride attempts to escape and spreads the flames to other homes," Chandra said. "If you absolutely must burn your bride, avoid additional destruction with an affordable bride extinguisher. And, if possible, confine the burning to your backyard bride pit." He also recommended that homeowners install and periodically test marital smoke detectors."

Dude

I assume you live in Saudi Arabia right now.

I am pretty sure you know all about civilization...

I mean the cultural police over there friggin' rules...they are really respectful to foreign women.

Not to mention that there is religious freedom...freedom of expression...freedom of speech...freedom to eat in the open during Ramadan.

RIGHT !

8/18/2005 9:12:31 PM

^ And when did I commend Saudis for anything?

I have chastised Arabs and Asians foe their barbarity on here for a long time, and I am not afraid to call a spade a spade [by criticizing my own countrymen], unlike you and your friend in this thread.

Dude, have you been sleeping so far? That's EXACTLY the kind of uncivility that I am decrying here.

ssjamind was right

8/18/2005 9:18:36 PM

you guys are formulaically and predictably repetitive

8/18/2005 9:19:12 PM

Me: Arabs and Asians are uncivilized.

You: Dude, you live in SA right? Do you know how uncivilized people are there?

Me: WTF you idiot, that's what I have been saying for ages.

You: "continuing with the drivel."

8/18/2005 9:21:11 PM

I was thinking of pwning ssjamind

but then I thought he's a fellow Indian.

8/18/2005 9:21:37 PM

no actually you said Indians were the most uncivilized.

I thought I'd remind you of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

x is not that bad

Americans do their dirty deeds in back rooms, and behind people's backs, where other countries are more open and honest about it (our politicians are generally dirtier though). Neither is really more or less civilized than the other.

Let me give you a little history lesson. Ancient Indian civilization known as the Dravidians were the first to implement city planning, flushing toilets, and sanskrit, one of the oldest languanges on earth. Your ignorance precedes you, get a clue and quit posting nonsense you prejudice baffoon.

8/18/2005 9:56:51 PM

you mean "prejudiced", not "prejudice".

anyway, 20 posts up, you will see:

so i think you need to go with esgargs to have your eyes checked.

8/18/2005 10:04:57 PM

dude you lost right at the beginning.

No one even agrees that Westerners are MORE civilized.

Now go stop people from earning interest at banks.

8/18/2005 10:08:01 PM

No I won't, because I don't agree with that.

But, since you defend your country and countrymen all the time,

why don't you go burn your bride if her father refuses more dowry,

or go rape a lower-caste girl,

or go enslave some child labourers,

or go kill some christian missionaries,

etc, etc, etc.

8/18/2005 10:30:51 PM

I would do all that if it wasn't illegal.

None of the things I mentioned are illegal in whatever you are defending

or atleast continuing this drivel for

I mean...an innocent person was killed in the UK...which is western...just because he didn't step out of his own apartment.

I also mean...some random person in the US manslaughtered his own unborn baby and its mom...and US is a civilized western country.

Come back when you can prove to me that Western people are more civilized.

You said that you would do all those activities, if only they were legal. He is trying to imply you have no moral foundation beyond staying out of prison.
