Furries always been catching strays.

Well, I'm pretty sure Zeus is canonically a furry

Dude has transformed himself into an animal to get some multiple times, and at least once transformed a woman into an animal, though I can't remember if he still had sex with her after that.


Zeus was out there smashing in a swan suit. The original wild boy.

The technological exchanges at that point are hard to disentangle, with the weft and warp of the silk road and of the Arabia India ship route to add in.

But the pace of change, and even the acceleration of change over the last .. well.. you can choose a date.. but somewhere between 350 and 250 years ago is in a different scale.

I think you're trying to overthink things

I'm saying the Islamic golden age and the advancements it brought technologically predated the rise of Christianity (or rather, Europe) and was incredibly impactful, just overlooked often due to the Euro/Ameri-centric teaching of history.

"Incredibly impactful" is the point. My contention is that the technological changes over the last 250 or whatever years are much greater, and the acceleration is greater, than anything that happened between 750 and 1250.

Of course, people did smart things in that period in Islamic ruled places, again, a lot of it by Persians. But so did the Greeks in their time, and many stages of civilisation in China and India (without getting to be exhaustive).

But I don't think this conversation is going anywhere, so feel free to have the last word.


and lets not forget the Nubian and other groups in Africa.

You can definitely argue that, as someone who enjoys the luxury of modern technology, I'm not inclined to argue that point too much

I was just saying Islam did it first, and really, the biggest technological developments have happened as Christianity's power has waned and atheism has become more common. I think the Internet has been the most impactful invention of modern society, and that was rather agnostic in the religion aspect. The printing press was full on a Christian thing, and arguably the most impactful invention in centuries and until the Internet.

Green arrow has been MIA for awhile now. Must be resting off a fresh kill.

Or it could be that these Muslim countries now are mostly backwards as hell where terrorist attacks happen constantly and their women look like walking garbage bags.

Whatever innovation they came up with thousands of years ago went out the window apparently lol.

But this has been an enlightening discussion. Carry on.

Well that's pretty racist.


Well isn’t he MAGA? Lol
