    Why would you need to invent anything more if it works?   Oh that's right, it doesn't.

    No wonder Chairman Mao took over.

    Ever tried it? Don’t hate. 

    Among countless other examples, the Chinese were writing prose, printing text and making paper, glue, beer and gunpowder centuries before anyone else. They built the only structure on earth visible from space. 

    It’s unfortunate you are marginalizing 5000 years of incomparable culture you misunderstand.

    The Chinese never invented the airplane because two Wongs don't make a Wright.

    If you use a 'spork',  that is the lowest level of utensil.

    The prophet Abraham was born in a city with indoor plumbing and flush toilets, and the technology was already five hundred years old.

    Makes you wonder what happened to make the world go back to using a hole in the floor.

    Apparently it worked well enough for them so they stuck with it.
