Germanic vs Latin Culture, Which Has Contributed More Too Humanity?

[Ardell]

America was founded by the British but Southern European immigrants have contributed a lot to America.

For example the first Blackberry was invented by a Greek Canadian named Mike Laziridis.

100,002 voters for Germanic. Amazing.

Ehh.. we both are pretty good. This type of pissing contest doesn't help anything or anyone. It's not like anyone's ideas are going to be changed about anything because of reading this, its just going to piss people off. Plus I am pretty sure the UK dwarfs both Latin and Germanic culture for scientific/cultural input over the last 200 years just because they were the dominant power post Napoleonic Era into the Modern era. Over the last 70 years the United States has dwarfed everyone else as the dominant scientific/cultural driving force. It has more to do with geopolitical power and less to do with inherent intelligence. Just my two cents.

It is extremely difficult to quantify scientific contribution. You are going to miss plenty, and they are build on eachother. Without the Latin/Hellenic classics there would have been no Italian Renaissance. Without a Renaissance there would have been no French Enlightenment and German Reformation. Without French Enlightenment and German Reformation there would have been no French and American Revolution, without a French and American Revolution there would be no British Trade Monopoly and Industrial Revolution, without British Trade Monopoly and Industrial Revolution there would be no Socialism, World Wars, Russian Revolution, Chinese Cultural Revolution and Modern Era. Think about all the inventions that accompanied these advances.

Very well said.

Italy, Greece and French are very strong, but I vote for Germanic (no matter if the British people are more Celts). The Iberian colonization (Southern Europe) was terrible near the English colonization in U.S / NZ / Australia.

I agree with you, but the UK counts for the Germanics. Germanic language after all, even if it is Scotland that has an extraordinary number of contributions, they're celtogermanic.

What the fuck is going on with that poll?

The bias Moderator, McCool, hijacked the Poll and gave it 100,001 votes because he knew Latin Culture would win, even if some people may be voting for Germanic, I don't think it even counts so you can't really see how many votes Germanic has except McCools 1 vote putting 100,001, this is rigged.

Nobody takes this kind of inquiry seriously.

In more recent times Gremanc but that after a very big span of Latin contibutions.

Depends where in Scotland but most of Scotland is more Celtic, I don't consider English to be a Germanic language, it only is because the Grammar and core Vocabulary is Germanic but only 26% of it actually comes from Germanic languages.

Composition of English

58% Romance derived (Latin,French)
26% Germanic
6% Greek
10% Other (Probably from Southern Europe)



English should be reclassified as a Germanic-Latin language or a Anglo-Latin language, a hybrid language.

Spanish colonization was far better than English. Spanish colonies were richer and more developed in every field (architecture, infraestucture, culture, science, economy..). Alexander von Humboldt compared the Spanish province of New Spain (nowadays Mexico and some states of southern USA) to Germany in 1811:

-"The Amerindian peasant is poor but free. Their situation is much better than the peasants of northern Europe, particularly Russians and Germans. The number of slaves is virtually zero. "

- "It should be known in Europe! Mexican miners are the best paid in the world, they receive six to seven times bigger salary than a German miner. "

- "New Spain has a distinct advantage over the United States: the number of slaves, both Africans and mixed race, is almost nonexistant. The number of African slaves in the United States passes a million, which is the sixth of its population. "

-"No city in America, not even in the United States, can display so big and solid scientific institutions as the City of Mexico. The capital and other cities in Mexico, have scientific establishments which can be compared with those in Europe."
