Following that logic we'd all be running around illiterate if we had to wait for Northern Europeans to invent writing. Something tells me you are not going to embrace the idea that your ancestors are just free riding off the great accomplishments of the Iraqis and Egyptians.
- CamperBob2 11y agoYou're right, there's a lot to be said for growing one's own culture by appropriating elements of other cultures that work. "Free riding" on Western culture is exactly what the Hawaiians should be doing in this instance. Instead they've chosen to shove a potato up the exhaust pipe, and nobody gets to ride. It's pretty ironic of you to cite Muslim and Egyptian cultures in defense of your own point. What have they done for us in the last 500 years? How long are they going to "free ride," as you put it?
