There is no evidence to suggest that China had any scientific evaluation of chemistry other than trial and error until such practices were introduced to them. Gunpowder was not invented but discovered by chance and improved through trial and error and most of these improvements and the development of the first firearms were made in the middle east.
They didn't invent woodblocks and thus weren't the first to print using woodblocks. Printing with woodblocks is not the same as printing with a printing press. http://touregypt.net/featurestories/fabrics.htm
The chinese did invent a way of using wood pulp to make paper, but this is just 1 material in a long line of materials which were discovered could be used to make paper. The first material was papyrus, thus only the ancient Egyptians can claim the title "invented paper". http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=papyrus&meta=
China is a rich ancient culture and has nothing to be ashamed of so I can see the allure to people who have no achievements of their own to claim the achievements of "their" culture. As depressing as it might be to see people stoop to this level of delusion to appease their anxieties, there is nothing more ridiculous than having to lie about your culture to aggrandize yourself more. There are no further depths of self pity.

Liberal media goes around putting every culture on a shiny gold pedestal EXCEPT our own
If whites appreciated their history and culture as much as the Asians do, it would become clear that ours is one much richer, sophisticated, and with the most variety. There is a reason white man rules the world.

Indeed. 97% of the most significant figures in science between 800 BC and 1950 AD were Westerners.
The trend continues today, although it's inevitable the East will catch up (to a certain extent) as they become more wealthy and educated. (Something they could not do without the West discovering the technological and economic knowledge, and investing in Asia). Since 2000, the UK has won 12 nobel prizes. Japan, with roughly equal GDP and living standards and twice the population has won just 4. This is despite Japan having a mean IQ about 4-5 points higher. Jews are the only group with an IQ higher than whites who actually "achieve" in proportions you would expect from their scores.
Achievement at the highest level is a difficult thing to explain, but from the emperical data whites and Jews are more prone to great achievements than Asians.

Every manifestation of human culture, every product of art, science and technical skill, which we see before our eyes to-day, is almost exclusively the product of the Aryan creative power. This very fact fully justifies the conclusion that it was the Aryan alone who founded a superior type of humanity; therefore he represents the architype of what we understand by the term: MAN. He is the Prometheus of mankind, from whose shining brow the divine spark of genius has at all times flashed forth, always kindling anew that fire which, in the form of knowledge, illuminated the dark night by drawing aside the veil of mystery and thus showing man how to rise and become master over all the other beings on the earth. Should he be forced to disappear, a profound darkness will descend on the earth; within a few thousand years human culture will vanish and the world will become a desert.

You cannot claim to be the pariah of cognitive thought and logic otherwise you would have requested and explanation when you posted >>15 instead of a mentally feeble sarcastic remark.
The fact that you are aware of cognitive thought and logic further reinforces my point. Everyone at one point realises they must replace comforting subjective emotional beliefs with anxiety inducing objective beliefs, some face up to these feelings cold turkey, others find healthy defense mechanisms to dealing with them which do not result in a logical fallacy and some develop unhealthy defense mechanisms that defy logic. Each unhealthy defense mechanism manifests itself in a unique way which can be spotted.
By claiming "that's how you think", which is a text book and innocent phrase that can be applied to any situation, you reacted violently in your mind, you could not even think of disproving this since it would entail thinking about the amount of proof that this is how you think. Instead you reached for the logic flag in the hope you can fool yourself into believing that you are incapable of being wrong.
If I am wrong you will do some personal research into all of these and your next post will not show the bizarre behaviour you have expressed in this thread so far.

Chinese inventions are stolen from Indian manuscripts (GUNPOWDER, medicine recipes, metallurgy, shipbuilding, mathematics, early astronomy, and even board games).
Chinks just try to cover it up by saying they only went to acquire "Buddhist texts"
Truth is going to come out sooner or later. India has been by FAR the world's wealthiest civilization since the Maurya dynasty up until the British empire. India will rise above China in population AND economy by the end of the century.

Kind of black and white view on it.
In terms of the small things, we create ideas, and others copy them or don't participate and that is it working on a small scale. A new idea doesn't have to be a fantastical invention.
I would bet that many people in this thread invented plenty of tiny processes or ideologies / statements / concepts / ANYTHING that can be new.
Being from a heritage of creativity does mean something.

Modern greeks are swarthy communists, nothing like the glorious ancient Greeks.

The Greeks of whom Homer wrote were a blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan people. Read the Iliad if you doubt this, paying close attention to the descriptions of the characters. The Greeks were driven north and west when the Turks colonized Greece after the fall of Byzantium.
Their replacements are of 98% pure Anatolian sandnigger stock, hairy, swarthy, hairy, bandy-legged, inbred, superstitious IQ-70 Turd World peasants who happen to speak a degenerate and bastardized form of Greek, written with Greek letters, sprinkled with Turkish loanwords. The blood of Leonidas does not flow in their veins. They call themselves Greeks, but it is false. If a cat has kittens in an oven, we may call them biscuits, but that does not make it so.

>>83 I'm greek but I can't say i dissagree - even though your comment is full of racist generalizations. Greeks also do think they have invented everything. That's why I put up comment >>80 . I'm probably more annoyed by you when I hear greeks preptend they are the originators of everything. Especialy since I live here and I have to face their stupidity every day. One thing though - greeks seem to be very bright outside greece. I can't explain it but there are many examples from most countries.
The funny thing with this thread is that it is absolutely normal for any peoples with 1000+yo long history to have made important inventions and innovations. It's just a matter of longer 'measuremet'. It's like saying: 'Nation A that is 500yo invented 5 great things while nation B that is 2000 years old invented 20 great things, so nation B is brighter because it invented more things. This is totaly false because it is too oversimplified. It doesn't even take under consideration the historical set and settings.
Anyway. In my opinion, any time you talk about a nation you are oversimpifying and the only way you can be driven to a correct conclusion by thinking like this is by pure luck.

How did these ape-like beasts manage to drive out the superior aryan Greeks?
Perhaps I can shed light on this subject OP. This might sound strange, but please, read through without skipping.
It is impossible to know who truly created anything.
It may have been a silly hypothesis given by an amateur to which a master turned into a theory. To who gets the credit? Such a question is rhetorical since they both have parts in the situation. This should illuminate the idea that knowing exactly who made an idea possible is completely up to chance or, in my example, not useful, knowable, or logically applicable. Now, this uncertainty should be enough to cause any intelligent individual to disregard the type of question entirely.
Now, this situation is applicable in just the very instant the possibility arises in every situation I can conceive. This doesn't even consider the obfustication further down the road when perhaps credit is stolen, as is rumored with Einstein, or that someone's work wasn't really so original, as is the case with Dr. King. It also doesn't consider the effects of what happens to information over hundreds of years. Disaster often causes this....
So you see...
History is a fickle thing. To say the Chinese did or didn't do something is entirely pointless as the question of who invented what is impossible to consider logically. What is important is whats happening now.
Ahem. SO, bitches....
China's not actually a dumb place. But it's got dumbarses running it. FREE TIBET WITH YOUR BRAINS. STEAL THE DOCUMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND SAVE THE WORLD IF YOU CAN.
Come on, doesn't that sound just a tad appealing? hahahahahahahaha gotta love my fuckin' crazyness, bitches XDDDDDDD Irrationality to the motherfucking extreme leads you to some fucking awesome places - wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :D
If any of you hate the corporations like Cargill, Perdue (if you speak french, this name is ironic) and the destruction that others like them are wreaking upon the earth and humanity in the name of profit, then I invite 4chan to expose them.

What happened in the past determines our decisions now. Also OP made it clear he is only bothered by where technology came from, just people who feel the need to pretend their culture invented everything.
History is the only source of facts from which to draw conclusions about economics, social science and political science, history also provides information important for various philosophical schools of thought such as the philosophy of science as well as branches of science involved in the development of new technology and practices for industry, by looking at how technology developed in the past we can analyze our current R&D strategies and avoid the same mistakes, by recording how craftsmen in the past solved problems with the most basic technology we have a larger library of ideas with which to fill the brains of our engineers and make them more innovative.
