HEY !!! Barry !!!
When my ancestors arrived here from Holland in 1623 the United States was aready a “developing country”
and the Holland they left back in Europe had one of the most successful economic and business systems in the world...
Meanwhile since 700 AD Moslem countries have yet to start to develop...
Why is that I wonder ???
Add Africa to the question of why are they stuck in reverse. When I was working there and the natives would proclaim that they were disadvantaged and discriminated against I would ask them: They say Africa is the place where man began is that right? They would answer, Oh yes, of course, Africa is the proven cradle of civilization and every man in the world traces his genes to Africa. I would then ask, Since you have had more time to develop and improve why is it that Africa is so far behind ALL the rest of the world? Failure is in their genes.
