Why Arabs Believe In Force Fields (Interesting!)

From a metaphysical/philosophical starting point, this is a rather fascinating area of study, the type of thing men devote entire lives to.

A similar theory pervades computer science circles. The theory being that reality is a computer simulation, and that for that spear fliying through the air to move, somewhere a command to copy from one location to another in memory is constantly running.

While reality isn't a computer simulation, IMO, it does bear some resemblance. This is what quantum physicists study. Schroedinger's cat and all that stuff.

For this reason, Arab countries either have poorly maintained infrastructure and equipment (including military stuff), or import a lot of foreigners, possessing the right attitudes, to maintain everything.

IOW, they don't work and then are honestly surprised when all the roads fall apart.

Wait’ll they see our tractor beam.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

The Germans developed so much new tech that is why everyone was in such a hurry to get all their national intellectual property. Why do you think that we bent over backwards with operation paperclip to get all that knowledge why do you think that Ike made that farewell speech warning us about the industrial military complex? There is so much you don’t know about 2nd world war and what was developed because you have bought the USA legend.

Atom bombs are a different matter. All of them sit there quietly emitting radiation of a particular type that can be readily detected with pretty simple equipment.

If the Germans had come up with the atom bomb we'd have found it.

Maybe we want to use up everybody elses oil first and we’ll be one of the few countries to have any left?

For this reason, Arab countries either have poorly maintained infrastructure and equipment (including military stuff), or import a lot of foreigners, possessing the right attitudes, to maintain everything. That minority of Arabs who do have the right attitude towards maintenance and personal responsibility are considered odd, but useful.

This attitude made it into Latin American culture (que sera, sera) through the Moorish occupation of Spain. I know of one guy who was a mechanic in the Dominican Republic who was always thought strange for keeping the machines in his care in daily maintenance.

“Dumbing down” a populace takes various forms. Mohammed capitalized on an already nihilistic Arab culture and invented a cult that would produce centuries of ignorant useful idiots. Imagine if Soros/Ayers et al and the NEA had gotten started a thousand years ago and there’d been no monks to hand-copy and preserve civilization? We would all be toiling under the leftist version of the cult of mohammedism ourselves.

Great plan, it also sounds like what a friend of ours said they have been doing in Iraq. Securing an area, restoring power and other utilities, getting the hospitals and schools going- encouraging businesses to open, providing jobs and expanding this to other areas as security allowed. Many of the areas we have done this with haven’t had these services since before Sadam took control. He controlled areas that he didn’t think supported him by denying them any services. This is what we are doing in Iraq, as much as possible with some great success stories- the media won’t tell you about it though.

[guitarplayer1953]

Actually they have.

[Cronos]

The Mooz think that India planned and carried out the attackes on itself. All the evidence and proof to the contrary dont’ convince them...

[Cronos]

It is truly a shame that a civilization that once contributed to mathematics and other academia have been forced to live in the dark ages due to a control of knowledge which truly is a form of mental slavery.

That "civilisation" never did anything of that sort. It was Indian-hindu, Greek and Armenian and IRaqi/Assyrian and Egyptian-Coptic Christians and Zoroastrian Iranis who did all of this. All those "Arab numerals" are really developed in India and then passed on to Europe

[Cronos]

It’s not even Korn-study but rote-memorisation of the texts.

[Cronos]

they got a car and it runs on water man

Seriously -- the first automobiles DID run on water, more accurately, on steam.

That is one of the explanations another is this one:

Genetic disorders in the Arab world

Available evidence suggests that congenital and genetic disorders are responsible for a major proportion of infant mortality, morbidity, and handicap in Arab countries. The population of the region is characterised by large family size, high maternal and paternal age, and a high level of inbreeding with consanguinity rates in the range of 25-60%.

[Cronos]

The Arabs only conquered the advanced civilizations like the Assyrians. The Arabs themselves contributed little to science and the conquered areas soon turned away from the pursuit of knowledge leaving what you find today.

Very good point. What happened to the civilisations that got this virus of Izzlamm? Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Byzantium, Aram (Syria), Phoenicia, Berbers (remember +Augustine was from north Africa), etc.

[Cronos]

Read the Hadiths where the Profit says that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Now since the profit said this, good moos say this MUST be true.
