If not for Italians, Brits. would still be shitting in the streets

Half of Brits.' infrastructure and culture and mass literacy

happened only because Romans
(who also borrowed from Greeks who alsborrowed from Iranians)
conquered them.

And none of that would have happened without the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. So, fuck the Italians and give it up for Hurtling Balls of Iron.

If I were forming a rock group, I'd negotiate for the rights to "Hurtling Balls of Iron."

The other half is because their ugly red-headed stepchildren in America
twice defended them from the Germans. I think we erred in doing that...

And also we Brits lost or failed to maintain the plumbing for about 1000 years after the Romans left.

We didn't start improving the roads the Romans had left until the 17th century.

yes indeed.
aa, the Chinese....

My co-nationals tended to look down on them, they are discriminated against over here and they have this self-depreciating social persona.
So I was SHOCKED to realize recently that, instead of thinking like a good minority with an inferiority complex, many of them harbor a Han superiority (towards anyone who's not AngloCeltic or Chinese).
It shows how ignorant many of us were of Chinese imperialistic + scientific history .

I believe it shows how many of us really DON'T GIVE A SHIT about the chinese, the brits, the afghan's, or any other nationality you can name...including our own.

In fact, I don't believe there are 10 fucking people in the entire continent of North America that wouldn't sell out the entire fucking Earth for a handful of rice, a pocket full of gold and a one way ticket to some place--, any place else in the entire Universe.

Every Saturday night in most cities across the UK, the Police arrest or warn people for pissing or shitting in the street.

It doesn't help that most local councils close their public toilets at 6 pm. Mine doesn't but the 24-hour toilets are badly signposted and the other end of the city centre from all the nightclubs etc. They are also pay to enter...

The Romans used to pay people to collect urine...

That's a very sad belief system you have there.

However, I don't think that it is true here.

For example, we tend to spuds...

In Germany, public toilets in shopping centers and autobahn rest stops are pay- to- play and run privately.

Big, spotlessly clean, well-lit, moderately upscale experiences for about a Euro… tap your card and go.

Is that why the service centre restaurants on the autobahn wish you a gute farht as you leave?

And perfected noodles about a thousand years before Italians. I tip.my hat to noodles!

Nice job....can't imagine telling anyone that I'm a urine collector.

I had romantic ideas about the Seine until I encountered the smell of urine and feces there. Even the nightwalkers stay away....they are up.by the Louvre at night.

yeah and I don't care for mushroom like your self either.

Where there's muck, there's brass.

And I agree about the Seine. Venice is worse.

In our town, anyone with any sense uses McDonald's -= open till 1 am, and toilets always clean and free. they are close to the nightclubs.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

I wasn't aware people have stopped shitting in the streets.

Chinese claim to have invented everything. It a joke at this point.

Why didn't they conquer the known world then? They let all these great advancements stagnate apparently.

A country with any sense would never let that garbage peddler proliferate...

I use their toilets but not their products...

If you're looking for a clean toilet in Memphis, TN,
my advice is to avoid the Mickey Dee's...








After one glimpse of their facilities,
I chose another place to eat.

They did. Then became isolationists.
