What's new

The lunatics have taken over

That is OFFENSIVE! My ancestors didn't slave day and night to come with a numbering system just so that you colonialist Westerners can STEAL it! Stick to your XMVIIwhatever numbering system please.

1907 was a bad year, economically-speaking, in the US. A run on the banks. . . .Some copper cartel wanted to drive metal prices down so they could buy up their major competitor. man, how some things never change. . .
 
I think it's just cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion has been around for thousands of years. Yoga isn't owned by anyone. It can't be stolen. It's not owned. Doesn't even matter if it changes in the hands of an adopting culture. That happens naturally too. Not to mention we're one world more then ever before.

I think anyone should be able to patent a culture, and collect royalties on anyone who wants to use it. But you should have a lawyer-tight definition of it, with diagrams, on file in the patent office, or some mega-cartel with scads of lawyerly help will just steal it anyway. . . . uhhhmmm. . . . yah, they'll steal it anyway no matter what, if there's a buck in it.
 
Appropriation can be pretty offensive at times-- the worst examples I can think of are ones pertaining to indigenous art, textiles, fashion, and just garments in general.

Arraybean numborz.

Thanks to the Arabs though we don't feel like committing suicide whenever we use arithmetic and don't have to use Roman numbers.

That's not true, guy!

You're serious? Let's see one of these examples. Whatever they are, I have a feeling that they're nothing like participating in a free morning yoga class. Getting offended by that seems obscenely stupid to me.
