Wrong person; I'm not black.

Titties was the first. Good times, good times.

I am now imaging you as a weeaboo.

and what has the middle east contributed with the last 200 years? umm nothing

Because Western imperialism coupled with increased hate amongst its sub-religion ruined the area. Without the Muslims, science might not have become as advanced as it has.

According to that graph, the height of Roman Scientific Advancement was when Rome was Christian. The argument is flawed as illiterate, pagan warlords from the north (Franks, Visigoths) began extending their lands south as the Roman Empire weakened until it finally imploded. IIRC, the Germanic tribes sought to rid Christianity (or they didn't really care about it), until whats-his-face of the Franks converted to Christianity to gain more control over his people and to inspire more moral out of his troops. Anyhow, long story short, Christianity did not create the dark ages (directly), it was the new uneducated overlords of Europe and also the destruction of the status quo/Pax Romana that was in Europe for almost 500 years. Christianity did, however, cause the dark ages to be extended as it put this mindset in people: God > survival > everything else. Also, much of Renaissance science can be attributed to scientists feeling it would help them better understand how God works, that is minus the humanists.

As far as I am concerned, we have the biggest balls there is, yes maybe to big, after all it's our big balls that makes us feel we have to save the world from itself, but yet forget there are homeless, broken down schools and so on right here. What pisses me off, we send a $600,000 missile to blow up a $5,000 building, then pay $1,000,000 to rebuild the damn 5 grand building, um yea, that makes lots of sense.

Perhaps so, but America is only saving the world from America. Genius way to build an Empire, if you ask me.
