Stramash Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Didn't they invent concrete? London? Roads? Gladiators? reinforced concrete too, cement, books, aqueducts and various other useful thangs!! Also took a lot of Greek concepts and perfected them, Some academics argue that if the Roman Empire hadnt collapsed plunging most of Europe into dark ages, that we may have had inventions such as the aeroplane by around 1000 ad :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeGeneve Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well they gave a good example of how an empire can wane when it spends too much on its military forces and over reaches its political power.

menospeakthai Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 go back and read how your post sounds...and sweaties??? thats bloody racist!!! :twisted: OK i am from a town called Newcaslte the is full of Jocks, Sweaties or whatever name i wish to call them they fit in almost unnoticed and it most certainly isnt a racist term unless liberals have now said it is. Why is someone who believes unlimited mass immigration from 3rd world countries into an overcrowed island with a poor infrastructure RACIST? We are FULL. No wonder there is no debate and this society is divided when people like yourself cant come up with a reasonable answer to this straight forward question. Though it must be ol' racist whiteys fault its so divided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 As I said, I originally used the term racist cos of how your post sounded, and sorry but I do feel the term sweaties is racist and I aint no liberal. Do agree that u have to be careful of immigration especially so bloody called 'economic refugees' but u also have to be careful of how you put this argument... :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grezzzy_greer Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ian, actually I don't like the tone of the remarks made about the Scots either, but I am not sure they can be classed as racist - generally I understood racism was generally between races, whereas I thought the English and the Scots are the same race (race, not creed perhaps)? I might be wrong of course, and if so I stand corrected. I agree about the transformation to the Holy Roman Empire though...they have their own country within Italy, and the Vatican does exercise control over the world's Catholics...it may not be as total as it was, but it is certainly still very much inexistence. I am sure that the implication regarding the aeroplane is that having invented various OTHER things (advanced technology) they would THEN have come up with the aeroplane...
