Heh. Or maybe Greek? They founded democracy, after all. And I really do like moussaka.

Hhmm. Interesting. What kind of restaurant serves chicken a la Hannibal Lechter? I have this little list of potential ingredient-persons...

I am one of those who think that in a generation or two China (and perhaps India) may be the hegemonic countries of the world, not the US - God help us!

But it won't happen until well after the Chinese authorities give up on the idea that they can control/censor the flow of information and ideas in an age when information and ideas are the fount of progress and, ultimately, of power.

If the Chinese go through with this, and create two universes, separate and unequal, they will be the losers. There may be over 1 billion Chinese, but you know what? That means there are 5 billion-plus non-Chinese, and if they exclude the rest of us, we can merrily exclude them and go on with what we are doing. Eventually, there will then be a revolution - in China.

Or China will become what the Muslim world is now. In the Middle Ages, the Muslim world was the center of knowledge - which is why we use Arabic numerals, name bright stars to this day with Arabic names, call county law enforcement officials sheriffs - which is a term with Arabic origins - *edited for highly inflammatory nature*. They shut down progress in the name of Authority, an issue discredited in Europe after the Galileo affair.

It is the Chinese that need to look to their problems here, not LL.


Agreed. But it will happen in China much sooner than the other areas you mentioned as China is in the throes of a massive capitalism spasm. It's lovely to see.

And BTW, those numerals came from India. The arabs simply utilized them and passed on the knowledge.

ahh well ignoring the last racist edged post I think its too little too late and yes the fact that ts no user created content is again just a game shipping on the back of secondlife hype.

i think the lindens have developed a good thing here and they are just too far ahead possibly for another clone version to take over.

possible merger or buy out of linden with another tech company ?

ohhh the rumors!



Wait, back up. Racist? How so?

A good article on the current capitalism spurt in China.

I'm imagining the Saudi Arabian version of SL. It would be so simple - all avatars would be bearded males, dressed in white with red checked head dresses. All the landscape would be sand and all one could to do is buy customised white 4x4's and Rolex watches, worship or indulge in a bit of falconry!!! LOL

Incorrect. A Saudi version would be full of adult entertainment bars and eateries full of bacon laden foods. At least that's what I saw them enjoying in Bahrain as they came over the causeway.

Until the pleasure police catch up with cyber life anyway.

I have edited phrases in this thread that claimed specific (and named) cultures or nations are inferior. Where no specific nation or culture was named, I did not edit the text. Strife, thanks for closing this thread. In the future, if you would like to argue another specific culture or nation's inferiority, please do so elsewhere.
