I think I want an Asian man

Nikola Tesla.

He was Eastern European

Here's a question, what is it you're trying to prove before this boils down to insults? Because I'm getting the notion that once again, you've made an outrageous statement out of emotional anguish and once you've been called out on it, you feel the need to defend your position to a ridiculous degree.

Hey, at least you know me and that I like to make outrageous statements

Let's see what lastwish has to say about all this now

[lastwish]

Is there a problem with me trying to promote some good feelings between members? Can you even take the fuccking compliment? I was being sincere- you sound like you would be very hard to throw into emotional instability, something probably rare for girls

No, there is no problem with you trying to promote a good feeling between LF members. I actaully thougt your sweet talking was very romantic.

Since you apparently don’t like to be complimented, I can go the other way and tell you that Asians and Asian culture hasn't produced jack shit in science, math, or decent civilization, and despite the feelings so many Asians have of superiority in those areas you can easily notice the lack of Asian contribution in any fuccking math or science book. Who discovered all those theorems and things you learn about? Ethnic European men, gee what a surprise!

I don't expect nor need people to agree with everything I say. I think people should always voice their own opinion (of course with adequate support). So, don't pretend to agree with me if you don't.

You could have been not a bitch and ignored the compliment, but like most weak people you choose to actually turn it against me. When someone makes a compliment they expose themselves to someone, and if you turn that around and use it against them you are weak

Were you exposing yourself? If you were, then thats very sweet of you.

Were you exposing yourself?

DM would gladly expose himself to all the females on this forum.

lol see, you are a stable girl and what I said was true

[Illusional]

when you look around, overall, how many fat old asians do you see as opposed to the fat old white people??

[bluesummer]

I have no idea what this had anything to do with ^^^

[DoesntMatter]

It isn't easy explaining how an area as small as Europe gave birth to almost all scientific and mathematical advancements, as well as being the birthplace of the worlds greatest civilizations

Ohh, yeah it is.

DM is right about the history of tech & science. However, past is past. It is where we are going that is important.

Newton said it best: If I have seen farther, it is b/c I have stood on the shoulders of giants. Tho, Newton was a pretty kick-ass giant himself, IMO.

Pretty much all cultures now have access to this knowledge, so it will actually be very interesting times ahead. No longer will 'lack of access' for info be a valid argument for why a particular ethnic group does or doesn't excel.

Oh, and on a slightly related note, most of these geniuses came from at least moderate wealth. Its hard to think about abstract thoughts when you are starving, so I agree that a certain amount of practicality is required when choosing a career.

DM, for example, can make a shit-load of $$$ as a doc & then spend his hobby-time working on new chemistry theories. Or writing computer programs, or a book. Lots of very bright ppl do this, you should see our basement projects.

Since when are all "American" people, white?

(D.A)

[Illusional]

Actually...mathmatics originates from Egypt and Babylonian.

And the American curriculum is very eurocentric so its natural students there think that most mathematics and science innovations come from Europe.

[DoesntMatter]

Math didn't originate anywhere, that's as dumb as saying walking had an origin

Math courses can't be eurocentric or otherwise. Unless you take a course in "The History of Math." Important math concepts originated from Europeans. They aren't leaving anything out Asians discovered. It's just the Europeans discovered it all
