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

And so were the ancient civilized folks of Harappa and Mohenjodaro.

Too bad there are way too many ignoramus abound on the planet and the internet.

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 !!

Am I missing something??

Ancient Rome = 2000+ years ago

Current Indian shitters = 2012 AD.

If you people feel like you are at a higher level than those over in them 3rd world countries, then help to elevate them instead of putting a race down.

With the words you speak here you might as well be one of those shitting out in public. In your own eyes, I mean in your own eyes and from the belief you show you stand for here is the same thing.

I guess we're hoping to shame them into taking some action on their own. Why can't they wake up and smell the shit and improve themselves? WHat's stopping them? Their religions?

Two down, one to go...

there is a 75 percent chance that any one who contributes to this thread is white trash by the way.

And both are fucking retarded...

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"..

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

In india, the government and elites dont care about general public at all, it is not their fault that they are serfs.

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..

The Mongoloid and Austronesian haplogroup C split ~36,000
ybp and populated regions of Central Asia, Australia
and Oceania.

Haplogroup DE split to D and E around 42,000
ybp, populates from North Africa to
the west to Korea and Japan to the east.

The family of haplogroup from F through T is largely the
Europeoid (Caucasoid) family.

And he(the origination point) was not necessarily living in Africa. Since he belonged to a haplogroup up-
stream from haplogroups A and B, his haplogroup can be
named “alpha-haplogroup”.

I don't know what is stopping them. Still doesn't give anyone the right to speak so ill of them. They are you, they are me, they are all of us.

Greece had democracy 2000 years ago while USA is still a banana rebublic. So what?
