    No, back before all this, "God is Dead" bullshit, and before we had rediculous political correctness, and when a Man was a Man, and there was a Land of Opertunity, and the World was massivly optomistic, and new, great nations were being formed(Germany), and Western culture was being spread across the world, and Free Trade and Globalization ruled the world, and when people would gladly lay down their lives for their country, and when there were new, exciting technical frontiers that would lead the World to a better place.

    A World War I, a Great Depression, a World War II, and a Cold War later, we're here.

    Japan and the Ottomon Empire.

    Done, although the Ottomon Empire was pretty bad.

    Would you honestly say those chunks of rock are better than every last piece of European art?

    That would be like making a pile of dirt against a suffle and saying it was just as good because judging is opinionated.

    Laying down your life for your country isn't good. I bet you buy into all that bullshit about war and dying in combat being honorable.

    Sure, if there was a little difference you would be right, like East Asian art vs. European art. But this is a HUGE difference.

    Seeing as how the concept of honor is innately linked to mortal combat it's not an unreasonable thought...

    And women couldn't vote, and colored people were second class citizens, and robber barons justified poverty with Social Darwinism, and it was illegal to teach evolution in the class room, ect....
    Good times.

    What art you think depends on the person Native American art is more about the Earth and is done in more simple ways.

    That you would love your country so much that you would volunteer to go die for it because you want it preserved is by no means a bad thing.

    Can you read? There's no difference at all besides the fact that they didn't have museums to stick it in. All cultures will inevitably have their own artworks. It isn't a fucking goddamn commodity. You can't say because they lacked the same mediums of expression as other cultures, that theirs are inferior on an artistic level. Frankly, that's purely idiotic.

    Dying for something you believe in, maybe. Not nationalistic bullshit.

    Women were on their way to equality, and after we all stopped killing eachother they got it.
    Racism was by no means as wide spread as it seems. It was worst in America, and even then only in the South. Britian and France were like the New England on the subject.

    Fascism was boiling up through the cracks, America had a economic boom then crapped out, poverty was incredibly high, India was a Britain's playpen, the Middle East was that spot of sand you had to rape and pillage on the way to Asia, nationalism was growing at a alarming rate, and imperialism was ruining the lives of millions of natives.

    Not good times. Great times.

    Britain and France weren't so bad eh? LOL. Take a look at Algeria and South Africa under colonial rule. Remember kids, learn your fucking history before you post bullshit.

    They by no means lacked the potential to become just as culturally advanced as the Europeans. But they weren't. They didn't have much of anything like that to speak of. And I would point out that as soon as they got the European culture and all that good stuff around, they started making beuatiful pieces just like the Europeans had been. Some were actually a lot better realy.

    Can you not believe in your country?

    When your an ocean away from home and surrounded by a bunch of people who want to kill you in your sleep, you kind of forget morals.

    Vice-versa for everyone else too. For instance WWII Japan in Indo-China/China/Korea/Manchuko/the Philipeans/everywhere else too.

    Besides, these were the worst examples. And after the inital problems things shaped up too.
