The real irony is that some people evidently believe they have objective opinions.Simply an indicator of which culture is more open to new ideas and differing opinions.Why do you think the number of books published defines what is better?"Better" meaning in comparison with other cultures. Islamic Arab culture, for example, is clearly inferior to Western Civilization. How many books are published in predominantly Islamic nations? Any idea about that?When will you define better?
again, if you're discounting those other cultures and ideas then you are not indicative of being open to new ideas and differing opinions... which is where we started this exercise....
and you are still missing the irony
From your own OP. Now youre basically whining about who exploited who.Deflect from what? You haven't presented anything substantive to deflect from.Are you going to deflect on your own thread?But western civilization only oppressed and exploited these other cultures.......isn't that how the narrative goes?It wasnt an exchange. Other cultures contributed to western culture and continue to do so to this day. Its PC to pretend thats not the case.Is that a one way exchange? Obviously there's an interchange of cultures throughout history. Or does that conflict with the PC version? No doubt the PC world believes Western Civilization is merely the result of cultural appropriation.How can you do that when western culture is derived from other cultures?
We would if someone had some evidence. Do you have any credible evidence instead of your opinion?No of course not....we wouldn't want to make comparisons based on evidence.Let me guess. You deemed this an indicator? I wonder what they did before books existed? I guess you dont see the logical fallacy in attempting to define a culture as better using a definition derived from your own culture?Simply an indicator of which culture is more open to new ideas and differing opinions.Why do you think the number of books published defines what is better?"Better" meaning in comparison with other cultures. Islamic Arab culture, for example, is clearly inferior to Western Civilization. How many books are published in predominantly Islamic nations? Any idea about that?When will you define better?
Do our western traditions of open discussion and acceptance of new and different ideas create the conditions for successful societies? Are the virtues and attributes of western culture inherently superior to others?

Islamic culture and society is far superior to western culture. ......
Do our western traditions of open discussion and acceptance of new and different ideas create the conditions for successful societies? Are the virtues and attributes of western culture inherently superior to others?
There's no such thing as "better" or "inherently superior". These are subjective.
One works within one's framework, regardless which framework it is.
Discovery Channel? Maybe BRAVO.......I'm sure your History Channel level of analysis is very compelling.Do our western traditions of open discussion and acceptance of new and different ideas ....
Our 'what'....?Have you ever taken a gander at Western history?
Guess again.
As opposed to your own completely unbiased objective observations.We would if someone had some evidence.

Tell me all about the hallmarks of a free Islamic society. How would you define traditional Islamic openness to accepting foreign cultures?The real irony is that some people evidently believe they have objective opinions.Simply an indicator of which culture is more open to new ideas and differing opinions.Why do you think the number of books published defines what is better?"Better" meaning in comparison with other cultures.

actually, the point is that your judgment is subjective so your judgment that one culture (your own in your opinion...meaning white christian culture) is superior than others.
which is laughable bigotry
I'm not the one claiming I had evidence. You are. If you have it lets see it. I will need non western culture sources.As opposed to your own completely unbiased objective observations.We would if someone had some evidence.

Really? Why is that? Sounds like a racist presumption on your part. And of course if we have to use non western sources that leaves very little of any kind of literature to refer to at all.I'm not the one claiming I had evidence. You are. If you have it lets see it.

I thought you said everyone thinks western culture is superior? You do realize people that practice Islam are part of everybody dont you?Tell me all about the hallmarks of a free Islamic society.

The reason we need to see some non western sources is due to your logical fallacy. You cant say something is better just because you think its better and expect to be taken seriously. So lets see it.Really? Why is that? Sounds like a racist presumption on your part.

Youre being subjective again. You claimed evidence. I want to see it.
