Modern-day western capitalism and individualism offers more freedom of choice, in lifestyle, and of wealth than any other system which has ever been attempted. As I believe in the importance of the individual over all else; The USA, which at least has lower taxes than Canada, the UK, and most likely Australia and Japan as well.
Yeah pretty much lol.Quote:

If oyu look at the Romans and what they achieved.WEll only a few minority in the Empire even knew how things worked. How the aqeduct worked,How to make the proper siege weapons, How to design bridges,heck even how the Collessium was made. ..This knowledge was never shared.Plus back then only about 10 million humans were alive anyway.
i really think romans where the greatest sivilication you dont see much sivilications who had all of europe (except the places wich held no intrest and or money) and a part of africa though there are so much greet sivilications
I don't really think there is a "greatest" civilization. Great yes.. but greatest? nah.
All civs had ups and downs.
Hmm.. I am sure the US keeps plenty secret from it's people. Albeit it is prolly less then what was kept unknowable in the past.. but it ain't gone from our world yet.Quote:

Imperial China, perhaps the oldest and at one point the most technologically advanced civilization on the face of the earth and recently,quantities of evidence have been unearthed which show the Chinese were the first to navigate the globe and much of the unknown world decades before European explorers supposedly " discovered " the Americas,Australia and New Zealand.
I think he more meant how technology works. I mean, yes there are still secrets, but I can go and find a website right now which will tell me the theory behind building a railgun/coilgun capable of punching through a meter of reinforced steel. I already know the theory behind building an atomic bomb, and if I could be bothered I could go learn the math behind it as well.Quote:
