Europe and asia

In spite of the extremism shown by dsjdsj there is something I should say:

I'm going to have to disagree here. Modern democracy has more to do with the political system of the Germanic "barbarians" than it does with ancient Rome (which was never a democracy) or Greece, although the Greek system later influenced European thinkers in the eighteenth century. Here's a lineal geneology: Germanic Wittenegemot, Ting, etc. - Magna Carta - English Civil War - Anglo-Saxon institutions are transplanted to America- well, it goes on. And I think the Arabs were only interested in the Greco-Roman oevres that were in tune to Islam, and they were not democratic

In between there was a dark period where Europeans believe all this Witchcraft superstition (inquisition in which incriminated died one way or another w/o representation!), which I would not call democratic at all   Also, the medieval way of court was the following.  The prosecutor and defendant both raised their swords for a deathmatch dual.  The winner was considered to have the hand of god thus worthy!  That's not democratic!

And it's also over simplistic. Stop watching the History channel.

This post is not suppose to be here.

Some deep quotes from dsjdsj:

============================

"go to hell you are an cheap asian jerk"

"And I said that because he called my posts bullsh*t."

"If you can't read then don't bother to ask me things. I already pointed out that you called me racist and what I said bullsh*t. This is the second time people talked about this. If you miss it this time then you got problems."

"And the chinese literacy thing, I'm chinese then why can't I read chinese? "

(I then asked him to translate some simple Chinese phrases and he couldn't)

-------------------

Err, I can tell that Europe has some noble elements as the first democratic governemnt (like the german democracy you insist), breakthrough inventions such as caravel, and stuff. 

I just mentioned some cons of Europe. 

Stop being paranoid. I just asked a question!

Well, the elector system is far more democratic than a simple hereditery monarchy is it not?

Who rule the world today?

During the 19th century the whole world was controled by western european countries.

Since the "battle of Lepante" in 1571 where the turkish fleet was wiped out:

1- Western europeans never lost a single war against non-european countries.

2-Every asiatic countries(except for Japan) were once part of an european empire. Not any european territory ever was part of an asiatic empire.

It is not euro-centrism, it's an historical fact.

"Times change, one can rule the world today, but another can rule it tommorrow. And the Mongols did take over some European empires before, pretty good when considering the degree of technology, no cars, planes, telephones, ect... and they can still take over a country a million miles away. And did you ever look at the sino-Dutch war or the attack of the Huns or the Muslim invasion of Spain or the ect?... I think not." 

 I said since 1571.........I said western europeans

 As for the mongol conquest, it was before 1571 and in eastern europe

 regarding the muslim invasion of spain, it was before 1571, muslim aren't asian people( they are middle east people). Arabs never invaded spain, it was moors( from north africa) invited by a christian faction to participate in the spanish civil war between feudal lords and king Roderic.

 Regarding the Huns invasion: it was before 1571, and they were repelled.

"Besides, Europe took over the world in the late 1800ds. That's at the peak of their power. During the middle ages, they're not, while the rest of the wolrd was at the height of their power. And at that time no one had the technology to take over a country a million miles away. At the hight of European power, they did."

  So what,  I'm not making political speech, i just constat history fact and answer the thread question. If you think europe was inferior to asian during middle age, check europeans and middle east primary sources.
