Good reply. I live in a very white place and I love it too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

But the thing is that civilisation works best when everyone understands certain ideals. Caucasian civilisation and culture has had a thousand years of experience including the Renaissance and Enlightenment - not to mention the Romans 2000 years ago. Other cultures are literally fresh out the jungle, and they act like it too.

I doubt we're going to agree on this but I'd rather multi-cultural than mono-cultural any day.

More importantly, can God's own leg-spinner get 100 wickets this year?

You do realize for most of it's existence, Western Europe wasn't the most civilized or technologically advanced civilization in the world by a long shot.

Um, Sumeria, Phoenecians, China, Egypt, etc., etc., etc. don't count as experience in civilization?

Could you elaborate a little here? What you've said doesn't really mean a lot...Which cultures would you describe as "literally fresh out the jungle", what does "fresh" count as? 100 years of civilization? 1000?
