IC. This is becoming behs brai behs now. Try to pick individual points and discuss them to have an exchange of ideas.
Just shooting down the other person and repeating main na maanoo will obviously not help.
Here is point by point rebuttal to what you just said.
^Again a very simp;listic approach to a complex problem, .
Complex problem? --- obviously Yes!
Simplistic approach? --- off course if we argue on mere words, it will look simpler. However if there is a genuine desire to learn, then there is knowledge to be had.
.....Its been a couple of hundred years that west became dominant, they did not do so by copying the dominant civilzation ones before them, neither did the ones before them.
This is a valid point to be discussed via historical perspective.
The problem with such arguments is simple. If one cannot analyze the things in 2009 and accept the facts, then how could you go back 100's or 1000's years to learn anything?
The last 15 years have unfolded in front of our eyes. We have personally observed how China, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan has copied from the West, and the West has copied from the Far Eastern countries.
Although Far Easterners have obviously copied more.
If our eyes are so closed about our present, what the heck we are going to learn from the past.

---- Muslims copied Romans and Greeks. If not then what the heck were they doing in the Byzantine libraries?
---- Europeans copied Ottomans and berbers.
If anyone denies this simple fact, perhaps he/she needs to pickup few good books.
