"But it is sort of bland with no exotic food or culture. Bit of a catch 22".

Hamlet,Please stop with the pantheistic ideology, you are sounding like a Zen Buddhist philosopher on medication.
Do you understand the difference between Homogenous and Polygamy? Great, before you invoke some simpleton’s version of Human psychology, read and understand that topic. Ask a woman about Islam, I will leave a Web Address that will answer everything for you, do your self a favour “READ IT” please. http://derafsh-kaviyani.com/english/ : I will throw in a few history lessons as well. Important: Read it. Posted by All-, Sunday, 16 October 2005 4:38:11 AM

Perhaps we can study mathematics “ Homogeneous” later! Monogamy and Polygamy was the intended topic, sorry.
Multiculturalism means lots of different restaurants: The first thing one notice in the library is propaganda of almost Soviet intensity in favour of moral relativism and multiculturalism. It is as if exhortation has become the queen of the sciences. For example, a poster at the entrance featured the slogan, DON’T DISCRIMINATE: HIV DOESN’T. The imprecision of the thought behind this slogan is typical of the empirical and moral evasions of contemporary liberalism, which substitutes a penumbra of good feeling about oneself for the necessity to make hard choices based upon facts and real values. This kind of undisciplined thought, or rather feeling, that mistakes a wish for a fact and leads to foolish policy decisions corrodes the soul of modern man. The library has a corner where people may post their poetry, and the verse is mostly full of oceanic feeling, as if true virtue consisted of uttering the right sentiment. Here is the last stanza of a poem about Nature, which makes a quasi-political point: In nature all colours blend in harmony with each other let’s learn to live like nature we are sister and brother. The utter refusal to reflect deeply upon the reality of nature and human nature, to recognize the difficulty of life, together with the banality of the moral sentiment seems to indicate that the propaganda is working its poison. On the escalator, another poster in favour of the glories of multiculturalism. It showed a West Indian gutting a fish. The accompanying slogan says: MR BARNES’S RED SNAPPER IS A BIG FAVORITE. A further slogan states that our city “is the most culturally mixed . Finally, in bright colours, is the following exhortation: PASS THE MENU. So it’s Jain vegan today, Aztec cannibal tomorrow. Today we speak English, tomorrow Igbo, and the next day Gujarat. Today it’s equality for women; tomorrow it’s time for forced marriages. Life is a menu: I think I’ll start with the freedom of expression soup, to be followed by a nice theocratic salad Posted by All-, Sunday, 16 October 2005 6:37:45 AM

Yes, Mr Hamlet. This topic is indeed about multiculturalism. It deals with the utter stupidity of importing unassimilatable numbers of people from hostile cultures who’s concepts of right and wrong are diametrically opposed to ours, and thinking that this will somehow produce some sort of Utopia instead of creating yet another strife plagued culturally divided cesspit.
Your position is that everybody is exactly the same and that the core values of all cultures are exactly the same. So there can be no big problem to building a multicultural paradise where everybody can get along just fine. So you began this thread by basing your position on a false assumption. You claimed that Muslims are just as opposed to the crime of rape as Western people are. By proving that you are wrong, I am displaying how stupid your assumption was, and that the basis for your entire argument is false. I know that you now realise that you have dropped a very big clanger and that you now wish to distance yourself from your previously stated position. But I have got you pretty much where I want you and I have no intention of letting you get away. You have done no research on Sharia Law so I will help you. Here is an article by a female Muslim Hina Jilani http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/engASA330181999 which might stimulate your ideologically moribund brain into realising that Muslim values, especially towards women and women’s rights, are not exactly in accord with Western principles. We are bringing men into this society who believes that Islam tacitly sanctions rape. They believe that women must obey Islamic dress and behaviour codes or she deserves to get raped. And if she gets raped it is her fault. The utter stupidity of this policy has been demonstrated in the continuing race hate rape attacks by Muslim men on “Aussie sluts.” To bring people with such a backward and medieval mindset into an advanced society, and to think that they will be accepted and fit right in with us, is to embrace an ideology which defies both logic and reality.

Thankfully the muslim rape gangs havent discovered the place yet. Even puppy dogs can move about the place unmolested.
Theres a fair few murris there, and none of them seem to buy cigarettes preferring to beg.
But it is sort of bland with no exotic food or culture. Bit of a catch 22.
