    Wow. That argument totally changes my view.

    So, um, just to be sure we're on the same wavelength, what is your argument?

    The Earth people are not stupid, they just don't seem that sophisticated. Keep in mind that they think they're indestructable like their element. The people of Ba Sing Se in particular are so overconfident that they don't think their city will ever be conquered. Now if you've been training for war like the Fire Nation, you would have an edge over your enemies.

    I have a question, since there seems to be a sexist air to the thread. Why is it that on Tv, Women always win? Cause in real life, I don't see women winning all that often. Not to be sexist against women, but seriously, what's up with this?

    Its to promote equality, and be more PC. But if you think about it women are stronger then men, but really this depends on the person in question.

    Its to make up for all the "crimes" against women in the past, or just to build a idea of a strong independent woman, so the woman lib organization doesn???t make a fuss about it. Some people think of it as reverse sexism, much like reverse racism but don???t let it get to you is all I can say.

    Its because TV people like to make things spectacular, breakflame.

    Oh, and this is rediculous. The reason the FN is so much more advanced is because they have perminite fire! It's like coal al the time. Do you know how advanced civilization suddenly became once we descoverd coal? Huge jump. And firebending is even better then coal! Also, the EK is so disunified, it's rediculous. Thats like asking why Africa isn't as advanced as Europe. It's becuase, even though they have tons of resourses,??the African nations are disunified and wont work together because each wants to be better then the others.

    And you can't say the FN girls are smarter then the FN boys. For girls, we have seen Azula, TL, and Mai. Azula is very smart, and Mai and TL seem average. But for the boys we have seen Iroh, and Zuko. Zuko's not all that smart, but he's not stupid. Iroh is a genious. Then weve seen the FN soldiers, who you can't really count because obviously they are the uneducated people. We have also seen Zhao, who was pretty smart, in my opinion. And the guy in SotFN, who was just overconfident in his machine. I don't really know who you are talking about when you say the grils are smarter.

    I reject the idea that earth is a crapy element, sure the fire nation could purify metals??? make steam engines, industrialize, and for some reason (*cough* Nick forbids it *cough*) NOT develop guns, cannons and rockets (despite having firecrackers), but instead have catapults that shoot flaming bombs. Why earth does not have catapults that throw rocks is beyond me (duh!) but earth has a huge resource at its disposal, even more of it then Canada (Sing the Kilted Yak Nation Anthem NOW!) yes I???m talking about DIRT! Dirt, yes you can eat it, wear it, play with it, squish it between your toes, oh did I mention you can build with it? You can build a little house of dirt enviable to 2 out of 3 pigs, you can build a bridge, a long bridge, you can build a wall, 10m, 100m, no 1km tall and thousand of km long, you can build huge cities out of mountain tops, and why not build trains out of dirt that you move with your mind? You could even build a dirt mail transport system moving mail around in dirt carts up and down incredibly fun slides that no one rides! Why the architectural and logistical abilities of dirt are so amazing I don???t see any reason at all to develop much technology if you hand complete telekinetic control over this stuff.

    I don't think I can. Maybe I should ask someone as wise as you. Hey, Patrick Star...

    Alright, let's be serious for a few minutes. Why would the Fire Nation NOT be more advanced than the other nations?
