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

THIS is a fact... Undeniable... Inescapable...

Hmmm weird.

That's why I keep posting that post.

Because people here are morons.

Wow.

Installing and maintaining a sewage/water/refuse system is one of the few legitimate activities for a govt.
Would it be cheaper to install plumbing in existing Indian cities, or just start a new city from scratch?
Cultural differences, my ass. Everybody needs plumbing.

If the USA had 1 billion inhabitants, I doubt that more than 40% of the population would have toilets.

In India, with over 1 billion inhabitants, 50% have toilets.

India wins.

Historical Evolution
An examination of literature brings home the fact that we have only fragmentary information on the subject of the toilet as a private secluded place to help human bodies relieve their wastes.
The archaeological excavations confirm existence of sitting types of toilets in Egypt (2100 BC).
In Rome, public bath-cum-toilets were also well developed.
There were holes in the floor and beneath them there was flowing water.
When the Romans traveled they constructed the toilets for their personal use.
The stools were keyhole type so that these could be used for defecation as well as urination.
Excavations in Sri Lanka and Thailand, too, have brought out a contraption in which urine was separated and allowed to flow while the other portion was used at the same time for defecation.
Historical evidence exists that Greeks relieved themselves out of their houses.
It was also popular in those days to emphasize the medicinal values of human waste.
Urine was supposed to have many therapeutic values.
In the Middle Ages, people were known to throw excreta from their houses out of their windows on to the streets below.
Between the period 500 to 1500 AD, it was considered a "dark age" from the point of view of human hygiene.
It was an era of cesspools and human excreta all around.
Rich man's housing and forts in many places around the world had protrusions in which defecation was done and the excrements fell into the open ground or a river below.
In Europe it was an era of chamber pots, cesspools, and close stools.
French poet Claude le Petit described Paris as "Ridiculous Paris" and in the following words:
"My shoes my stockings, my overcoat
My collar, my glove, my hat
Have all been soiled by the same substance
I would mistake myself rubbish."
Public baths were quite famous in early Rome (about 200 BC).

It's said the ancient Greeks and Romans had a higher collective IQ than any peoples alive today.

Indians are lacking...

And yet million upon millions of Americans are rejecting the Saviour of their forefathers - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - for "eastern spirituality" stemming from India. Somehow they've been led to believe that it's the 'height of enlightenment' yet don't bother to go and visit these places to see that Satan has these people living in caste systems of slavery through the ridiculous notion of karma, bisexual to the hilt and worshipping sensuality and pleasure. We are fast rejecting the true God of Heaven and Earth who blesses His people beyond measure for this man-made desire to think of ourselves as "gods".

And we don't WONDER why yoga is trying to be forced on our kids at school as the solution to stress whilst prayer to the True God is ripped from our laws, schools, churches and homes?

They bathe next to floating dead bodies in the river, take a poo in front of everyone yet those eastern spirituality leaders worshipped in our lands today hold the keys to "enlightenment"??????

Wake up people.

As you can see was just going to say that.

The evidence is irrefutable, so why would anyone deny it?

My question is... and I know many countries need to get their house in order before preaching, but just on the banks of the Ganges millions of people live in that filth. Why not just join together and clean this so called holy place up?

Krishna must be doing flips at the state of that crap all over the place.

There is no education on pollution??? I do not believe that for one second. This is a simple sorry state of affairs where money goes to temples and people ignore the fact that someone down stream is dying from cholera, typhoid and a multitude of infestations due to the dead being allowed to rot disrespectfully in the rot of millions before them.

Plain lazy and ignorant, but you cannot just blame the people or culture, this is also ignored largely by the Indian government - whom in turn should have aid vastly reduced until the environmental problem are addressed.

Now is that too radical to suggest without being called out as a racist which I am not?

The collective IQ in America has gone way down in the past 30 years, most likely a reflection of the change in demographics.

Indians are dirty period there is no arguing this, I used to work next to one the smell was more than I could handle. A hobo smells better than an East Indian

they still live in caste system which is the mainstay of the Hindu social order.

Photos of human corpses rotting away without anyone paying attention are pretty shocking. Dogs then eat the corpses.



I think this has more to do with their eating habits, too much spice etc.

That and the shit smell that gravitates with them, kinda like a wandering shit curry smell lol.

That link has some of the sickest pictures of human depravity then I have ever seen in this lifetime.

Who are these people descendants of? Looks like a lot of R1a's..

No, it is from improper breeding habits. DNA = Intelligence or Unintelligent

Hold on now - the mind-destroying secondary education you wish for would have all cultures equal, no doubt.

They are not.

Some cultures are terrible.

My dogs have better breeding in them than 99% of East Indians lol

This is why I would never willingly go to India....

Even the millions of homeless?

I don't think their culture either cares or knows about sanitation... I have seen some Indian people working at restaurants and they would use dirty food that fell the floor without a second thought, especially if they recently immigrated from India.

To us Westerners that is repulsive but to them it's nothing.

There are some pretty shitty, polluted, fucked-up places in America, too, but FUCKING CORPSES IN THE FUCKING STREETS? WHAT THE FUCK? India makes me want to vomit. Ugh.

Go the holy river you see dead body's floating in it. It be the perfect place for a serial killer.

Yet again you're comparing and contrasting against a biased cultural standpoint. You cannot judge a culture by its inverse lack of technological advancement. To do so, would be to withdraw all differences between countries like India, and the all godly (soon to fall) American empire. You draw opinions based on some ideological sense of accomplishment through materialism. To put it bluntly: you do not understand culture, or more rationally; you are uncultured. I'm not saying this as an insult. I do not feel it your fault that you are so numb to other cultures, it's part of the bubble that America provides. In this bubble however, it's easy to forget that your opinions may be offensive, ignorant, or just plain grossly wrong. "Terrible", is a subjective term that couldn't encompass a culture in any fashion,whether it be the oldest of civilizations or newest such as America. And to hold all Americans accountable for these awfully imature world views, is wrong of the rest of you. We are a young peoples, give us time to root out the elements that do not fit, such as ra general lack of formal education, and a steadfast cultural ignorance. I forgive you all for your immensely uneducated opinions ..

Ahem.

The scheme was launched on Monday in 34 villages in Jhunjhunu district.

Four to five people will "shout, beat drums or blow a whistle" if they see anyone urinating or defecating in the open, an official told the BBC.

Repeat offenders may even be asked to pay a fine, he said.

Nearly half of India's 1.2 billion people have no toilet at home and they defecate in the open.

very well said.

and they had central heating..

they actually had advanced house heating system that heated the floor..and obviously the house ..etc..

they stored their wine wrong though imo...messed up the brain chemistry a bit later on..

Quoting: wildhoney

Yeah, didn't they store their wine in lead or something similar?

But hey, easy mistake to make, at least they didn't drink the water they shit in, like those punjabs

**One Of The Things That Caused The Downfall ... Of The "Roman Empire" ... Was That They Drank Their Beverages In Heavy Lead Steins/Drinking Containers !!

**The Lead Would "Leach Out" Into The Beverages ... Due To The Interaction With "Natural Chemicals" In The Drink (Acids/Alkalines) & Be Absorbed Into The Body !! ... The Persons Drinking Therefore Would Have "Lead Poisoning" ... Which Effects The Brain/Mind ... Causing Mental Retardation ... Weaking Of The Muscles/Joins ... Organ Failures !!

**As To Those Of India ... You Need To Understand ... That These People Are The Descendants Of Surviors ... Of The Ancient Wars Of Long Ago !!

**There Were Cities & Technology Then ... Which Greatly Surpassed Those Of "Romans" Of Their Time !! ... With Flying Machines (Vimanas) ... With Advanced Waste Disposal ... Body & Otherwise ... With Knowledge Beyond Ones Imaginations !! ... Alas ... All This Was Destroyed In The Wars !! ... Atomics Of Various Design ... Of Various Elements & "Half Life" (Some In The Billions Of Years ... Which Is An Estimate !!) ... These Were Used Against Ones Neighbors !!

**There Are Reports That Entire Armies ... Of Their War Elephants ... These Were Put Afire ... Put Aflame ... Of People Diving Into Waters ... To Excape The Extreme Heat & Radiation ... To Futility !! ... People & Creatures Burnt/Ashed Alive !! ... Water Supplies Dried Up ... Food Sources Destroyed ... Land Made Highly Radioactive !!

**Of Survivors ... Only Those Who Were Able To Get Away ... Before The Bombings ... Before The Light, Blast & Heat Was Laid Upon The Lands !!

**It Is These Survivors ... Who Excaped To Other Lands ... Who Came Back To Their Native Lands ... Those Who Developed A Somewhat Of An Immuniity To The Radiations & Other Destructive Weapons Used ... It Is Their Descendants ... That Acquired An Immunity ... That You See Today ... In Poverty Like Conditions !! ... Their Once Highly Advanced Culture Destroyed ... By Ones Who Sought Ultimate Autority ... Ultimate Control/Power ... Of Which The Lessons Learned ... Of Their Arrogance ... Were The Most Horrible Of All !!

Farewell For Now !!

No. This is a stupid comparison. How would America get that extra 700 billion people? Would they fall out of the sky? Or are you proposing a 1-billion-population USA that had developed organically? In that case, check with us in 150 years and then talk about differences in toilet usage.

That is why we inovate and They just copy. If it waant for we d all still believe in Books and live like animale...
