Britain > Scandinavia

[gixajo]

Britain > Scandinavia :



Britain invented Capitalism with Adam Smith and the most powerful nation on earth -- the USA -- speaks English and practices Capitalism ! So does Britain, obviously.


Most geniuses have come from Britain and the modern world was ushered in by the industrial revolution started by the geniuses James Watt :






Any questions ?

Great figures mentioned where?

Oh! Charles Murray!!!...co-author of The Bell curve...yeah, of course, I remember that book.

Statistics and scientific racism, a fantastic mix to create half truths to reafirm people who need feel superior to others.

Do you need this type on arguments to reafirm yourself James?

Both socities contributed to human progression. Alfred Nible is a famous Scando scientist. So was Niel bohr. But the most important revolution, the industrial revolution, originated in Britain. As did much of world's political and economic institutions.

To me Scandinavia means: Bergman (both) Edvard Grieg Sibelius Bohr Andersen and Brigitte Nielsen....

Isaac Newton alone contributed more to the world than Scandinavia throughout all of its history.

About the only time I've heard anyone talk about how much they love or "worship" Scandinavians in America or Europe is when it comes to leftists for their political/economic systems.

I did not say Europeans worship Scandinavians I just mean they are respected by Europeans for having blonde hair and blue eyes but maybe that is mostly a German and working class and middle class British thing. Anyway, I don't dislike scandinavians it just seems on athro boards there is an underlying blonde hair and blue eye worship undercurrent going on maybe more so in the past than present and it reeks of nazism IMHO.

And all the bases of everything that they created come from Greece and Rome

Isn't it Siesta time Pedro ? Spain could have conquered the world until the said "nope ! time for a siesta !" And while you were sleeping the Anglos took over !






The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 has long been held as one of England's greatest military achievements. The successful defence of the kingdom against invasion on such an unprecedented scale boosted the prestige of England's Queen Elizabeth, Since then it has been nothing but downhill for the Spanish globally compared to the more sucessfull Anglos.

Britain is a bit bigger country isn't it? Small countries producing people like Carl Linnaeus and Niels Bohr is quite an accomplishment, no?
