Interesting theory some Koreans have. Countries with cold winters tend to have higher standards of living. But, warmer countries are less developed. |
Its not a Korean theory. The only countries with warm climates have an anglo-saxon (European) cultural base. Hot weather makes people lazy. This is why except for a few cases, most countries near the equator are dirt poor. Singapore and Australia are the only ones that come to mind as the exceptions. |
Hot weather makes people lazy? Where is your proof that poor countries with warm climates are only poor because the people are lazy?
Please explain how the Romans, Mayans, Greeks, Egyptians, Incas, Portuguese, Spaniards, Kampuchians, Persians etc were able to start empires, or build amazing architecture, or invent things, or conquer other countries etc if the weather made them lazy.
Also, the onus is on you to prove that Africans are lazy because of the weather, too. |
Easy, for most of those countries, SWEET SWEET COCA LEAF.
I'm a huge believer that the Incan pyramids were built by people who were consuming huge amounts Coca leaf, Egyptian pyramids-maybe another plant that is now used to make illegal drugs. |
