Tier 1: Ancient Greece

Tier 2: Germany, Ancient Rome

Tier 3: Italy, France, Britain, Holland, their neighbours,
Precommunistic Russia, Ancient China

Nothing contributing at all culturally, and so utterly bullshit: USA,
Israel, Arabia, new Greece, Turkey, Australia, Africa, complete Asia,
complete America, mainly anything outside Europe.

Note to Tier 1: The GOAT is culture is not even discussable. The
Ancient Greeks founded modern society. Homer, Thales, Perikles,
Sophokles, Archimedes, Eratostenes, Pythagoras, Demosthenes, Heraklit,
Sokrates, Platon, Aristoteles, who himself was the teacher of the
Great Alexander III. of Macedon. What names!

Without them we still would live in the Iron Age. A shame that new
Greece is now as crappy as the rest of that region.

BS.
Ancient Greece had no opposition, played in a clown era.
Germany is most problably below Italy.
Culture GOAT are the U.S. of A. Many Nobel Prize for literature
winners. Best orchestras. Best architects. Jazz, Rock, Pop - #1
everywhere. Movies!!

Even those are mostly lies. E.g. airplane was invented by da Vinci in
Italy first, then again by Linderberg in Germany.

Thats why the most talented directors come from Europa or had to go

of fat people, fast food, intolerance, racism, violence and ignorance.

Stupid fucker. India is one of the oldest civilizations out there. Not
to forget that Indians have always been receptive to all religions and
is the second largest democracy after the US and A.
Home to the Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade
routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with
its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history.

The history of India begins with evidence of human activity of Homo
sapiens as long as 75,000 years ago (Tamil Nadu) and hominids (Homo
Erectus) from about 500,000 years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization,
which spread and flourished in the north-western part of the Indian
subcontinent from c. 3300 to 1300 BCE, was the first major
civilization in India. A sophisticated and technologically advanced
urban culture developed in the Mature Harappan period, from 2600 to
1900 BCE. This Bronze Age civilization collapsed at the beginning of
the second millennium BCE and was followed by the Iron Age Vedic
Civilization, which extended over much of the Indo-Gangetic plains and
which witnessed the rise of major polities known as the Mahajanapadas.
In one kingdom, Magadha, Mahavira and Gautama Buddha were born in the
6th or 5th century BCE, who propagated their Shramanic philosophies.

The Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and host of other religions
have been living in peace for more than a thousand years now. A few
isolated incidents don't change the fact that Indians have always
respected other religions and lived in harmony with people of all
kinds. We didn't ever have anything like the KKK, we didn't have
Nazis, mass genocide, dictatorship, forcible conversion to Hinduism,
witch hunts... nothing of that sort. And most of all ever never
FUCKING INVADED any country. Not even those cretin neighbors of ours
like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. With the nukes we could have,
we could blow our barbaric and terrorist neighbors into tiny bits, but
we chose not to. Now compare that to the US, who goes to war with a
new country every decade.

They even cheer when F15's blow school buses off bridges in Belgrade. Or, drop
cluster bombs on old folks homes.

They even stage reality show wars on prime time so people can get their popcorn

I might give you Tier 1 but since that's history then I'm putting the
US in Tier 2 for inventing rock n roll. Sure Greece had all of those
guys whose names you spell with a "k". I'm comfortable with Chuck
Berry, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley. And
Aristotle was a bit of a jerk anyway. Pericles was not only famous for
being in charge of Athens during the Golden Age, he was also largely
responsible for the fall of Athens due to his empire building ways.

But like I said, I'm fine with ancient Greece as #1. Germany and Rome
are as worthwhile and as dubious as the US. Nasty expansionists who
also had some great cultural giants.

especially since I was referring specifically to Greece and the U.S.
and what "tier" they should be on. So it could seem logical that in a
post that specifically references those two plus a very slight mention
of the others on the original poster's "tier 2" that other areas might
not be discussed.

The funny thing about your reply is that your own post shows a
thorough ignorance of the history of Central and South America. As
long as you want to play the "what about...?" game, that is.
