Modern China is one of the most boring and unpleasant countries in the world, I don't care about its contemporary economic growing. I will never learn Chinese. Ancient China was by far more appealing

What a coincidence! I think likewise, except that it's the other way round. Europe has become the most boring and unpleasant place in the world. With its aging population and the new generation that is spoiled, lazy, incompetent but arrogant, Europe is definitely degrading. Ancient Europe had its glorious time, but look at Europe now. To make things worse, most Europeans still live in the ancient past, thinking that they're still the lucky ones blessed with superiority. This is simply pathetic.

Europe (France, Italy, Spain, England) is still the best place to live in! Why do so many migrants want to join it??? Lots of Chinese and Indians too
Asian   Mon Aug 31, 2009 12:38 pm GMT
Migrating to a European country never once crossed my mind, so I didn't know that. Are there really so many Asians migrating to those countries? I mean... are those countries really willing to accept them? That's extremely hard to believe. If that's the case, those countries probably have an ulterior motive for letting them in. They probably have the intention of exploiting them, especially since their own citizens are aging and their new generations are so spoiled, lazy and incompetent but arrogant.

We can speak a lot about the European superiority.

Well, it is true in a wide sense:

1. Greece, Roma, Spain, France, England and nowadays the United States were/are the most powerful countries on Earth. No one from Asia NEVER (not considering very old empires like Sumeria or something like that).

From the wars between Greece and Persia (you can see the film 300) a lot of years ago, always won EUROPE.

2. Even China that is a communist country (European idea) and Japan (very European in a lot of things) are partially Westerner.

3. Languages. Until nowadays, the most important World languages are English, French, German, Spanish, Russian.

Only Chinese, Japanese and Arabic are partially important. Chinese and Japanese have a very difficult alphabet. Perhaps, these languages will be important if they addopt the Latin European alphabet.

4. Economy. If we consider the GDP of the Americas, European Union, Russia, Australia and NZ, we can see the power of "Europe" in a wide sense.

Blah blah blah - It's the same old story about the importance and superiority of the Western language, culture and wealth, repeated over and over again!

Why don’t you try to make an effort and look at the whole picture from a totally different angle. How has the Western world become so filthy rich and powerful? They achieved that mainly through exploitation of other races and they would resort to all sorts of measures, including killing to achieve what they were after.

Wherever the Europeans set foot on, they brought wars and massacres and committed horrible sins in the name of God. The Westerners are probably the only race that has made other humans slaves as well as started wars on large scales. God (who knows what he is thinking) entrusted the power of science to them and see what they have been doing with it, they have been using it as a tool of exploitation to fulfil their insatiable desires. We have yet to see the serious consequences and disasters they have brought and will continue to bring to this planet and its humanity.

Our world has never had to confront such an imminent and destructive threat brought about through the misuse of science and technology on such a massive scale. And yet the Westerners are still boasting arrogantly about their wealth and superiority, being ignorant of the atrocities they have been commiting against the planet and the whole humanity.

European had answered your question even before you asked it:
European: "...and Japan (very European in a lot of things) are partially Westerner."

Japan and China had been great buddies before the Europeans came and messed things up. They were devils. They brought wars, killing and tragedies along with them wherever they went.

Before 1945 Japan had little to nothing Western. Japan was a feudal country ruled by an Emperor who whas the quintaessenence of Oriental despotism.If Japan and China are not trash countries nowadays it's due to the products (made with Western techniques) they sell to the Western World.

“If East is East and West is West
Where will Japan come to rest?”

Japan started to adopt Western institutions after the feudal system was abolished as a result of the Boshin War in 1868. A western legal system and a quasi-parliamentary constitutional government were modeled on the constitutions of Germany, France and the United States.

I guess Japan had a lot to do with the Western world even before 1945.

What about Chinese invasion of Tibet and Uighurstan? What about Mongolian invasion of China and Europe? What about African tribal massacres which occur every day? What about Iran-Iraq war? What about India-Pakistan war? What about Aztec savagery and human sacrifices? What about Shari'a law and Islamic barbarianism?
The Europeans learned about slavery from the Africans.

The Mongolians didn't mean any harm, really, when they were building their pyramids of skulls. They were just expressing themselves artistically. And that wall in China was just a place to show off flower pots. And of course when he bothers to count all the wars that actually happened INSIDE China over the last three millenia (some quite genocidal - Huang Chao Rebellion, the Manchu conquest, and many others), a reasonable man can do only one thing: blame the West for it all.

The world is full of nationalistic morons. Get used to it. These creatures exist in all countries.
