So the top Middle Eastern university is number 145 in the world. Yet the Middle East has 100 universities in the top 20% of world universities. Where did you learn statistics? The Bestest Saudi Arabian University of Maths and Goat Herding?
-
You want to impose Western ideas on brown people... Western intervention in Iraq/ Libya/ Afghanistan was counterproductive. Band Aid was a complete waste of time. Maybe white people going to brown countries to help them out isn't actually that productive.... Anyway, is your attitude towards the third world not racist? If Somalians want to cut up their daughters it's up to them. It's racist of you to judge them.
-
I've read that four of the world's top ten universities are British... Not bad for an nation of island monkeys
-
My parents are British. So it's not really surprising that I was born in Britain.... 300 years ago we used to burn witches. Until about 50 years ago we used to send homosexuals to prison. If parents in Somalia want to cut bits off their daughters it's just not our concern. We're not the world's social worker/ policeman. We should stop interfering in other countries. You've got a colonial mindset. You think we should go back to the 19th century and bring civilisation to those barbarians!
-
Yeah, that's right Either present the evidence or don't make claims you can't back up.
-
You connect the shotgun and chainsaw together and you'll be an official inventoror!!
-
I'll sell you this special stihl shotgun for a special price of £25,000!!!!
-
We've tried that before. We went to Asia and Africa etc to share our values. How did that end up? We were asked to leave... The biggest failing the West has is that we stick our nose into other cultures and try and impose our values. We should just let the rest of the world run their countries how they see fit.
-
Is that something you've just made up? Do you have any proof?
-
I'd think it would have went without saying that I was talking about "important" inventions.... We could all go into our garden sheds and invent something. It doesn't mean our inventions are any good... Heres someone that attached a chainsaw to a shotgun. Yeah, you could describe it as an "invention". However it's not much good....
-
It's just a fact that few inventions come from the Middle East.... The fact that you can't state a single world class invention from the Middle East from the last century proves it. Don't get defensive about it, just admit the truth. When people (or societies) lie to themselves they make bad decisions....
-
So nothing in the last thousand years then.... You're making my point for me, so thanks very much I'd imagine most things on your list were developed by many different societies independently...
-
Yeah, that's right. The "powerVR graphics accelerator card" is really a world changing invention When you look at world changing inventions it's amazing how many are British.... From the top of my head some British inventions are: steam engine, locomotive, jet engine, penicillin, TV, electric motor and Internet.... All these inventions have made a huge change to the world. I just can't think of many (any) world class inventions that came from non european people.... See this "Hossian Yassaie", he studied in the UK at Birmingham University and is a British citizen.... It reinforces what I've been saying that there are no decent Middle Eastern universities... It's why the Middle East needs highly skilled europeans (like myself) to work there......
-
Yeah, well done. You can clearly use Google. Perhaps you could name same Middle Eastern inventions from the last century?
-
How many Middle East universities are any good? Honestly, until 50 years ago the main industries in the Middle East were pearl harvesting and goat herding.... Name one invention discovered in the Middle East....
-
There's a good reason for that: WE'VE NOT LEFT YET!!
-
Tbh, the fibs from Bremain seemed a lot worse than from Brexit... I'm still waiting for the emergency budget that George Osborne said we would need...
-
Someone that thinks we should poach third world medical staff for the NHS when the countries the medical staff come from have massive health issues....
-
Praise Be! At last someone else seems to understand the blindingly obvious!
-
What has "free will" got to do with it? Imagine a hospital in Pakistan, there's a talented surgeon that does a lot of skilled operations. He's offered a job in the NHS and he moves to the UK. Q. Has the hospital got worse because the surgeon has moved to the UK? A. Of course it has. It doesn't matter if the surgeon left due to "free will" or he was kidnapped to work in the NHS. The end result is the same.... The hospital in Pakistan has got worse.... The hardcore racists don't like it when it's pointed out that skilled immigration from poor countries is bad for the poor countries...
-
Tbh, I think any firewood merchant that could sell a cheap log store would do well.. The prices of log stores online are extortionate.... If someone could retail a cheap log store it would mean they coul sell more logs in larger volumes in the off season.
-
Of course third world medical staff want to work in the UK. The third world by definition is a "sugar" hole. Who wouldn't want to escape failed countries to live in the UK? However one of the reasons the third world is such a mess is that skilled workers are leaving.... It's really not that hard to see the relationship between organisations like the NHS poaching third world staff and the dismal state of the third world.... But yeah, the racists here don't care if brown people in places like Africa and Asia die because they can't get medical treatment... As long as white Brits get medical treatment on the NHS... I just wish people were more consistent. One minute the colonial powers get criticised for stealing resources from the third world then we steal skilled workers from the third world and its a good thing...
-
I don't speak Zimbabwean.... White Zimbawean farmers have been driven off their farms.... You think if I rocked up on a black Zimbabwean farm they'd want to hear what I had to say?
-
What I'm saying is that we shouldn't be taking skilled workers from the third world. How can anyone think it cool that third world countries train up medical staff at great expense and then we steal them for the NHS? We have the ludicrous situation where we take doctors and nurses from poor countries to work in the NHS. We then have charities that send British doctors and nurses to work in the poor countries where we stole medical staff from.... My MSc was in Water Resources. There was a Zimbawean guy on the course, after the MSc he got a job in the UK. The MSc was directly relevant to agriculture in Zimbabwe, how is it moral to take one of Zimbabwe's most educated workers and let him work in the UK?
-
So on one hand SJWs tell us it was completely wrong for Britain to go to places like India and take their natural resources. However at the same time it's acceptable to go to India and take their skilled workers.... When you think about it, skilled workers are the key resource to any succesful country. I never had you down for being a hardcore racist. You simple don't see the problem of Indians dying because the NHS has went to India and taken their doctors. But you see a massive problem if someone calls a leper a leper.
