Let me get this straight - The Ancient Romans used copper plumbing, and had flushable toilets..yet Indians in India still shit on the sidewalk?

Am I missing something??

Ancient Rome = 2000+ years ago

Current Indian shitters = 2012 AD.

Indians are fucking stupid, they worship cows and can't figure out why they are starving...

Their culture is worthless. They have 100 nuclear warheads, send spacecrafts to the moon, but they don't bother to install plumbing, instead leaves a huge part of the population to shit in the gutter.

Apparently worshiping cows gives you magic super oxgenating shit

Hollick speaks with DS Bhargava, a retired professor of hydrology, who has spent a lifetime performing experiments up and down Ganges in the plains of India. In most rivers, Bhargava says, organic material usually exhausts a river's available oxygen and starts putrefying. But in the Ganges, an unknown substance, or "X factor" that Indians refer to as a "disinfectant," acts on organic materials and bacteria and kills them. Bhargava says that the Ganges' self-purifying quality leads to oxygen levels 25 times higher than any other river in the world.

The present reaps what the past has sown, and the future is the product of the present. These harsh words you people speak of here, of other Human beings, is 1 billion, to infinity, times worse than those people who do not shit in toilets around the world. The future, for those having so much hatred in their hearts, looks so much more full of hatred. For hatred is all they seek, for hatred is all they will ever know. Hatred is such a dark force, it is much dirtier, horrid, disgusting, blinding, negative. It is driving this world to complete madness.

WHY?

What is the agenda here? Why push so much hatred in this world? Why speak of Humanity in such away?

Advances in Anthropology May 2012
Seven thousand five hundred fifty-six (7556) haplotypes of 46 subclades in 17 major haplogroups were considered in terms of their base (ancestral) haplotypes and timespans to their common ancestors, for the purposes of designing of time-balanced haplogroup tree. It was found that African haplogroup A (originated 132,000 ± 12,000 years before present) is very remote time-wise from all other haplogroups, which have a separate common ancestor, named β-haplogroup, and originated 64,000 ± 6000 ybp. It includes a family of Europeoid (Caucasoid) haplogroups from F through T that originated 58,000 ± 5000 ybp. A downstream common ancestor for haplogroup A and β-haplogroup, coined the α-haplogroup emerged 160,000 ± 12,000 ybp. A territorial origin of haplogroups α- and β-remains unknown; however, the most likely origin for each of them is a vast triangle stretched from Central Europe in the west through the Russian Plain to the east and to Levant to the south.

If you look at dna you will see that europeans came from india. The aryans (a white skin population in a very diverse india) traveled out of india a long time ago and popultied europe. Some say aryans came from elsewhere, but I can only trace them to India. Therefor everyone posting here is Indian. You can find Indians in India with similar dna as modern day europeans, even some blond haired blue eyes peoples. Like it or not I think we are all indian.

Why I'm not surprised that this thread is pinned?

The reason civilizations developed as such, is more a difference in tradition, rather than a technological, or ideological one.

If I understood it, they used lead or something to sweeten it. I watched this documentary on Caligula where they discussed how not only inbreeding, but drinking lead, gave us one of the most brilliant and fucked up civilizations.

It seems without fail, the issue with people here is often the lack of a secondary education, coupled the lack of any post high school reading. Perhaps even pre- high school reading, depending on locale, and cultural background. If anyone, who was so quick to comment regarding the 'development' of civilizations, had simply understood these differences from a historical, or anthropological background; with this I'm speaking of a basic post high course that explains these basic cultural differences, they wouldn't be using phrases such as "backwards society"..

Civilizations hadn't developed according to a universal principle, or a rudimentary rule of thumb. This is why you don't fine working plumbing in some older societies, and you will find it in others as far back as warfare had developed amungst other peoples. To understand something like cultural difference would be to understand the reason for all cultural developments, and that would eliminate the simple and crude question you pose here. Meanwhile, those who are keyboard ready with their childlike reasoning, and remedial understanding of cultural anthropology, will continue to embarrass themselves time and again.

Please pick up a book, or continue your education, and this will eliminate a lot of your cultural biases, and prejudices. The very simple reason behind posing this ridiculous question is a lack of understanding on such a basic level. I'm not trying to offend anyone, or sound snooty or stuck up, and I am sorry if it came off that way. I just see a very real problem in not understanding why some societies developed certain ways of living at different points, or not at all, and why cultures are different across the world. I truly believe not understanding these differences leads to a real bias to other peoples, other cultures, and creates conflict. We should be respecting others for their differences, and not judging them harshly because they don't all 'live like Americans'. The world is a beautiful and diverse place.

why pin another shite thread?? site is going to the dogs fast.

this so called shite nation will one day save america from its own worthless, bull shit selfs. When china comes knocking with russia you lot will need india, lets see you all bad mouth them then.

and americans talking about shit on, your gov shits on you lot every day of the year.

so yes indians shit on the ground BUT americans getting shat ON.

peace out.

romans lived better then we(europeans) did in the middle/dark ages. They were before their time. They even invented a steam engine, primarily designed to lift heavy gates, but they came to a conclusion that using slave labour for lifting gates was cheater and easier, hehe.
