Is the Vatican Above the Law?

[dahermit]

I was in Hong Kong at a Chinese resteraunt that specialised in snakes - the poor beasts where brought out in huge wicker basket and then yanked out so you could choose which one you wanted! I politely allowed my host that job. Anyway, having side stepped that one I was then offered a glass of some odd coloured drink that had a strange object in it and told by my friend that it would give me potency and power - having sipped this concoction I was told that The object within was the snakes penis!!!

I vomited the length of the restraunt and over the doorman......

Please do not denigrate their "civilization". Can you blame them (with the "small equipment" they are endowed with), for being that desperate for Potency and power that they will resort to such "medicine"?

Arabs are not "orientals". And, it was a Dutchman who invented the lens.

LOL.

As far as I can remember, I never once mentioned orientals -- only ASIANS.

Oh, and the science of OPTICS isn't confined to lenses, now, is it?

Is it really too much to expect an ignorant hillbilly to understand something as simple as this????

And, how does that relate to orientals when the relevant science behind modern inventions was developed by the West before they were even aware that there was an orient.

LOL some more.

It was the arabs who brought scientific inquiry from mere speculation to practical application. Obviously, when one talks about 'inventions' and 'innovations', you are talking about the whole business of APPLIED SCIENCE.

Duh?

My apologies, I did not realize that tiger bones came in tablet form now. Modern pharmacology has long since moved beyond herbal medicine, you dolt. insulin, tamiflu, aids medicines are not something you pick off a tree. That is coolie logic. Rhinoceros horn will not cure impotence and certainly not endow you with a larger penis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbal_medicine

Herbalism is a traditional medicinal or folk medicine practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Herbalism is also known as botanical medicine, medical herbalism, herbal medicine, herbology, and phytotherapy. The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts.[1] Pharmacognosy is the study of medicines derived from natural sources.

Traditional use of medicines is recognized as a way to learn about potential future medicines. In 2001, researchers identified 122 compounds used in mainstream medicine which were derived from "ethnomedical" plant sources; 80% of these compounds were used in the same or related manner as the traditional ethnomedical use.[2]

Duh?

Talk, talk, talk, posting voluminous dubious references.

How hard can it be to make a list? Cannot the "superior" oriental mind construct a simple list of inventions? Maybe you have to have one in front of you to copy.

Your inability to produce/construct an original list of inventions relative to the twentieth and twenty-first century is a clear demonstration of two things:
1. There are no such inventions.
2. It requires an inventive mind, not one that can only replicate what already exists.

But, you already know this. That is the reason you have been insulting posters with "duh?", for the last year or so. It is likely an inferiority complex. I suggest acupuncture, and some bear gallbladder, and some nice fish-head soup.

LOL.

I have already given you numerous lists -- whether your preference vacillates from ancient to modern.

You wanted ancient inventions -- I gave you an alphabetized list of ancient chinese inventions.

You wanted modern inventions -- I gave you a list of PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND THEIR ACCOMPANYING APPLICATIONS.

You wanted innovations -- I gave you a list of modern japanese innovations.

What you probably want is a list of PATENTED INVENTIONS. Now, I couldn't argue much about that since, guess what??? -- only a white man could be as arrogant as to claim an idea as exclusively his own without regard for what preceded him.

But then again, that is the entire point of this exercise, isn't it? I'm here to demonstrate the extent of nonsense the mind of an ignorant, hick, redneck is capable of.

Duh?

I pretty much had the same experience with blue cheese. If a white man's moldy ass were meant to be eaten, then surely, it would taste like this.

But then again, blue cheese would be the life of a party compared to what I saw in nat geo. The swiss were feasting on cheese along with the maggots residing therein! The narrator then goes on to explain what makes the cheese delicious (and expensive) -- the maggots eat the cheese and deposit their excrement therein.

They were actually eating maggot sh!t!

If there is one major stumbling block to east-west 'interaction' -- it would be succintly attributed to smell. What I don't get is how one can claim to be modern while smelling outrightly primitive at the same time??? You are so used to your own stench you're immune to it, and asians are too polite to even mention it. We could spend hours on end just figuring out where the hell the smell came from and we would still have no clue.

I have a feeling blue cheese holds the key to it.

I mentioned orientals. I have been mentioning orientals. You, as an oriental continue to want to claim/imply that the accomplishments of Arabs somehow makes your case. Arabs are brown-skinned, inventive, intelligent people. Orientals are slant-eyed, slope headed, small little people with monkey-see, monkey do coolie mentality. It does not surprise me that an oriental would seek to disassociate themselves from their own race and take on the mantel of: Asian. Pitiful.

LOL some more.

Orientals have remained at that stage of pharmacology, continuing to use natural compounds Most of which that do not work. Where as the Occidentals have progressed, separating folk-lore from science. How did moving your furniture around work for you?

Yes, you copied and pasted a whole lot of things. And you try your best to confuse the point. Look up from your computer, look around you. Patents have nothing to do with the point. There is nothing in the room that you are sitting in that was not the invention of Occidentals. You have adopted/kept, nothing that was the concept/invention of the oriental mind. Nothing. That is the point. You live in a world that has looked at what the Occidental has invented,developed and has deemed it better than what the oriental culture has invented. Even you, but you will not admit it.

That does not surprise me. It is obvious to the whole world that Orientals "have no clue".

 

[dahermit]

When I read your posts, it reminds me of WWII and a Japanese prisoner of war camp, where a Japanese guard is standing on a wooden box to enable him to reach high enough to strike an American P.O.W. in the face while shouting: "You Americans inferior!"

Was your father a guard in a P.O.W. camp during WWII? You seem to have that mentality.

I am going to take pity on you. Here is a clue: We invented flush toilets, bidets, showers, bathtubs, commercial soap, deodorant, antiperspirant, cologne. That smell that you are confused by is the oder of clean bodies.

Unless of course, you are confused by the smell Orientals emanate caused by standing up to their knees in human waste-fertilized rice paddies.

Yes, you were talking about orientals -- which only shows exactly up to where the comprehension of ignorant rednecks like you is capable of reaching.

The orientals you stupidly direct your bigotry at, comprise the fastest growing economies in the world today, have surpassed your technology by about ten years (by the reckoning of your scientists) and represent the most serious challenge to your economic and military dominance on the face of the planet.

And, quite frankly, we are happy to allow you to indulge your silly delusions since your arrogance is what fueled our exponential in the first place.

You feel self-important that americans invented the automobile and the tv? We don't give a rat's ass who invented the wheel or the concept of wave motion which made all that possible. The important thing is that the orientals have made it almost impossible for you to make these on your own. We find it positively hilarious that we are beating you in your own game and within the same rules you invented.

Duh?

See above.

You see this as an ethnicity thing but what I am talking about is an intelligence thing.

No wonder you are still clueless!

Duh?

Orientals have remained at that stage of pharmacology, continuing to use natural compounds Most of which that do not work. Where as the Occidentals have progressed, separating folk-lore from science. How did moving your furniture around work for you?

Yes. You continue to pump your bodies with expensive chemicals with fancy names to hide the fact that they are extracts from rats' testicles. You don't feel happy? You pop a pill, which in turn, only makes you feel more unhappy.

That is the general idea of your alleged 'modern' pharmacology. It is no wonder that some of your more intuitive scientist are taking a second look at herbalism.

Duh?

Still can't comprehend simple concepts, can you?

You're long-distance travel wouldn't be possible without the compass -- a chinese invention that presently works on exactly the same principle a thousand years ago.

You merely innovated on the invention of paper and printing blocks the chinese were using when your ancestors were drawing in caves.

You subdue entire continents using gun powder. Only a barbarian would use a totally benign invention for violence.

Your ignorant, bigoted, redneck sort is a viral scourge on this planet. You are disease -- a disease so potent, mere touch renders everyone else fatally afflicted. Even when you take on the mantle of 'civilization', dress up in fancy suits (the materials for which the orientals discovered), the stench you carry like an aura around you is undeniable.

Duh?

 

[numinus]

Quite right! Something that tastes like the moldy ass of a white man is most definitely beyond the experience of the oriental.

Enjoy eating your maggot sh!t! Roll it around your mouth for maximum culinary experience! After all, with all the excrement coming out of your mind, maggot sh!t couldn't possibly be worse.

Duh?

I am going to take pity on you. Here is a clue: We invented flush toilets, bidets, showers, bathtubs, commercial soap, deodorant, antiperspirant, cologne.

What an idiot you are!

The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800 BC in Ancient Babylon.[1] A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.

The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance. Egyptian documents mention that a soap-like substance was used in the preparation of wool for weaving.

Oh, and if you had read the alphabetized list I provided, you'll find that the bristle tooth brush and perfumed toilet paper were used by the chinese long before it occured to the white barbarian to clean his ass.

That smell that you are confused by is the oder of clean bodies.

And that is spelled O-D-O-R, you buffoon!

On a personal note, a friend of mine was forced to drop a college course because her european classmate insists on going to class smelling like a septic tank. How funny is that?

Unless of course, you are confused by the smell Orientals emanate caused by standing up to their knees in human waste-fertilized rice paddies.

Speaking of rice paddies, one of the most impressive engineering-agricultural feats of the chinese is that they carved entire mountains to form rice paddies like steps.

Your barbarian forebears' solution is to slaughter the inhabitants of arable land.

Duh?

When I read your posts, it reminds me of WWII and a Japanese prisoner of war camp, where a Japanese guard is standing on a wooden box to enable him to reach high enough to strike an American P.O.W. in the face while shouting: "You Americans inferior!"

Was your father a guard in a P.O.W. camp during WWII? You seem to have that mentality.

My dead father, if you must know, was a dirt-poor child during ww2. Due to unavoidable circumstances in his childhood experience, he is rabidly pro-american. It was through his own efforts that he got an education in civil engineering -- perhaps surpassing the intellectual accomplishments of the american gi's he polished shoes for as a child.

Duh?

 

[dahermit]

You're long-distance travel wouldn't be possible without the compass -- a chinese invention that presently works on exactly the same principle a thousand years ago.

Lets see...the Chinese made long-distance travel possible by inventing a compass. How did Marco Polo get his compass to enable him to travel to the orient? Did the Chinese mail a compass to him?
While it is true that compasses work in the same principle that did thousands of years ago, it you did not have your head up your behind, you could see that the compass is obsolete, like everything oriental. We have a new white-man's invention called, Global Positioning System (invented by white men of course).

Babylonians and Egyptians are not "orientals". You keep trying to associate yourself(or disassociate yourself from that which is oriental), with creative civilizations.

Speaking of rice paddies, one of the most impressive engineering-agricultural feats of the chinese is that they carved entire mountains to form rice paddies like steps.

Using hand tools, woven baskets. Thousands of coolies doing what they do best...manual labor. Quite different from the huge terraces cut from our Western mountains with huge earth moving equipment.

Wow! Your hatred for the white man speaks volumes about you and your adopted religion; Catholicism.
Is that how Catholics follow the commandments? Or, do they just go through the motions of living a Christ-like life while in the confines of a church and demonstrate the hatred they have for others at other times? What effect on others will your demonstrated hatred have on others who are reading your posts? Are you worthy to call yourself Catholic?

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." ( John 13:34-35)
