Read the message above. Don't let your anger and autist genes get the worst out of you. This whole desert negro profile is just a joke to rile up mentally limited people just as yourself and to style myself like an anti-christ in this very place. Costa Rica is far more of a jungle, banana country than Egypt or Somalia are anyway.
The "kind" (retarded American racialist bullshit euphemism, btw) you're assigning to me still ranks far higher than the nation you hail from. Without a single doubt Algeria ranks far higher than Costa Rica. A more reasonable sentiment would be to state the bottom rungs of all groups should be erased, this however, lamentably (or not) would inevitably mean wiping out yours since you're still, without a doubt, in the bottom rung, regardless of minor numerical differences.

That's not true at all. No one in the right mind would choose to live in Somalia or even Egypt over Costa Rica. You can make a poll in another thread if you disagree. You won't like the results.
In any case, I'm sure your consistently poor grammar and inability to perform basic arithmetic were also part of your grand scheme to pull the wool over the eyes of us racists by making us believe you were a retarded nigger, and not because you actually are the intellectual equivalent of a retarded nigger.

LOL. Affirmative Action Negro:
Has Tyson done any real science? He seems to be a media celebrity, but when I look in the Smithsonian/NASA ADS, I can find no record of scholarly work in science, except for popular books and social commentary. Is he in fact a practicing astrophysicist?
See his personal homepage for publications. --Andrew Delong 03:51, 15 December 2006
Not since graduate school (he did not successfully progress towards a degree at UT/Austin, and convinced Columbia to give him a second try). Aside from the obligatory papers describing his dissertation, he's got a paper on how to take dome flats, a bizarre paper speculating about an asteroid hitting Uranus, and courtesy mentions *very* late in the author lists of a few big projects in which it is unclear what, if anything, of substance he contributed. No first author papers of any real significance whatsoever. Nor is there any evidence that he has been awarded any telescope time on significant instruments as PI since grad school, despite the incredibly inflated claims in his published CVs. He cozied up to Bush and pushed Bush's version of man to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond, and now gets appointed to just about every high level political advisory board. To an actual astronomer, this is almost beyond inconceivable. It's just bizarre. To answer Delong's question, no: he is not a practicing astrophysicist. - Don Barry, Ph.D. Dept. of Astronomy, Cornell University, December 3, 2008
Even Tyson admits that his dissertation committee at UT Austin was correct to give up on him at the time. When he was at Columbia, he had a coterie of graduate assistants who did all the difficult number crunching for him. His actual scientific contributions since then have been meager.

China rising isn't the sign of change or upheaval, but more like how China is resuming the natural order of things. In imperial times, the Chinese thought of themselves as the center of the world this is why China is called Zhongguo because their conception was that the world centered around China. The emperor wasn't just the emperor of China, but the ruler of the entire world.
The only westerner who was completely accurate in his observations about China was the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, who actually understood the Chinese and their concept of themselves and the world around them.

China has an ancient civilization which is now undergoing a very rapid process of change. The traditional civilization of China had developed in almost complete independence of Europe, and had merits and demerits quite different from those of the West. It would be futile to attempt to strike a balance; whether our present culture is better or worse, on the whole, than that which seventeenth-century missionaries found in the Celestial Empire is a question as to which no prudent person would venture to pronounce. But it is easy to point to certain respects in which we are better than old China, and to other respects in which we are worse. If intercourse between Western nations and China is to be fruitful, we must cease to regard ourselves as missionaries of a superior civilization, or, worse still, as men who have a right to exploit, oppress, and swindle the Chinese because they are an "inferior" race. I do not see any reason to believe that the Chinese are inferior to ourselves; and I think most Europeans, who have any intimate knowledge of China, would take the same view.I know that many people in other Asian countries want to see China collapse and permanently divided. In Asia, China is surrounded by legions of haters on all sides. I know that China's neighbors are trying to throw rocks and point sticks at it, trying to provoke China into a war. Anti-China sentiment is very strong in Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, America, Myanmar, Taiwan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Many people in these countries want China to collapse, rot, decay, fall down, whatever, you name it. Yes, even other supposedly ethnic Chinese, specially those living in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and HK, whom we know as hypocrites of worst kind."The natural Chinese attitude is one of tolerance and friendliness, showing courtesy and expecting it in return. If the Chinese chose, they could be the most powerful nation in the world. But they only desire freedom, not domination. It is not improbable that other nations may compel them to fight for their freedom, and if so, they may lose their virtues and acquire a taste for empire. But at present, though they have been an imperial race for 2,000 years, their love of empire is extraordinarily slight."

Also, until the Golden '60s economic miracle "made in Japan" used to stand for "of inferior" quality. China could end up the same. Start with cheap knockoff products and eventually improve.
Doc of 1955: "No wonder this circuit failed; it says 'Made in Japan'."
Marty McFly of 1985: "All the best stuff is made in Japan."
