How did you do that?

I voted Romans as I think they have been a very important civ in history.

Several most important concepts of the Western Civilization, such as human rights, representative democracy, industrialization, and capitalism, had nothing to do with Romans.
Exactly. The Romans influenced a lot of other races, but they themselves didn't really stay around to do that much.

>1500 years,nah that isn't that long
And the Chinese? >4000 years... And for half of that 1500 years, the Romans were a small republic in the Italian peninsula. For at least 3500 years, the Chinese were a major world power.

Quote:
And the Romans assimilated all those they conquered,they were able to expand like they did because they absorbed knowledge like a sponge and adapt it to their needs.
For about 1500 years. Then they disappeared under the barbarians and ended up like the Babylonians - assimilated BY the surrounding ethnic groups. The Chinese kept assimilating surrounding groups for 4000+ years, not once losing its ethnic identity.

Quote:
Wouldn't it be unfair to compare the ENTIRE Western civilization to China?
Of course. We are arguing ROMANS vs CHINESE, not THE WEST vs CHINESE.
