“Go and say hello to your african neighbours, you will find they are just like you”-steve.

Just like Kenyans legs, and white peoples legs produce different results in a long distance race (Fact! due to differences in lungs, oxygen, genes (24 of 25 best long distance runners from Kenya), so to will Africans, Arabs, Europeans think along different lines (due to the prerequisite’s of their racial groups), they to will produce different results in any given situation (not touching intelligence, just touching on future decisions of this increasingly divisive country), but these results will (without a police state) lead to mass social disruption, upheaval, generally a lot of violence and so forth.

The day the country is 25% Arab, 25% European, 25% Asian, 25% African will be a dangerous time, for which any major decision has an extremely high chance that it will upset 75% of the increasingly frustrated and divisive country. Thoughts?

The one thing I learned is that wherever you live people are the same. They strive to put a roof over their heads, care for their kids and improve their lives.” –Steve madden

That is simply not enough! It is just NOT enough to bind us together (period). Never has been in the past, never will be in the future. In fact using that statement, I can come to the conclusion that I have just as much in common with an African for example, as I do with the mouse in my cubboard, as he too wants “a roof over his head, care for his kids, and improve his life”.
Point, it’s just simply not enough, and the problem is that what you’re seeing now of these gangs, riots etc, is that in 30 years time they will be far worse... (does anyone actually doubt that? How much are your prepared to take?).... With small (but growing), in the open street battles, much like Los angeles.

There is no such thing as multiculturalism in practice. The closest we can come is sharing our cultural heritage. Governance and law must come from some initial culture, hence an England, Russia, Saudi Arabia, or an Australia. There must be some stability at ground level of social behavior. Constantly rewriting law and recreating a form of governance to incorporate each new migrant culture would be the result of practiced multiculturalism. Meaning Sharia must be adopted by a democracy in a truely multicultural world including the culture of being Muslim, and Jewish Rabbinical laws to include the Jews and Aboriginal tribal laws, and Polynesian, Hindu, Chinese, etc. etc.
It's not possible to exist with such fundamental discord with in a society. It actually negates the meaning of "society".
Even children born and raised by parents of different cultures have a dominant culture for everyday life's rule.

I should like to see the research that you have done to justify that brains are different between races. Have you produced a new theory which supercedes DNA? Why can't you accept scientific evidence?

But Australia IS multicultural. Ever since the First Fleet. And we all live by the British legal and parliamentary system as does India, South Africa, Israel, Canada etc. That is no problem.

What some people are trying to do is put the brakes on our multicultural traditions and force everyone into one mould. Usually the one that they were brought up with. That is selfish.

What would be wrong with a mixture of Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Jews living together under English style law? It worked in Cochin in Southern India. They enjoyed the highest standards of living in the sub continent. The Synagogue and the Hindu Temple even share a semi-detached building.

Obviously

Wrong, Kenyan’s are good at running because it is their national sport, they live at altitude and are full time athletes paid by the Army. Has a Kenyan ever won a Marathon gold medal at an Olympics? NO. How many Black Africans have won an Olympic marathon gold medal? (5) How many Europeans or Americans? (16).

So now that your genetic superiority theory is disproved. Next

Do you know the percentage of people born overseas in Australia in 1901 compared to 2005? Guess what it is actually lower now than it was at federation. Do you know where over 70% of these people come from? Great Britain and New Zealand.

The day the country is 25% Arab, 25% European, 25% Asian, 25% African will never happen, not if the statistics of immigration since the abolition of the white Australia policy stay similar (which they will).

If you have mice in your cupboard I suggest rentokill, by no stretch of the imagination are mice people. Maybe they should be banned because they are illegal immigrants who refuse to speak English :)

Gangs, riots etc. are a symptom of social inequity not race, my first sighting of a “riot” was in England no race involved Mods v Rockers 400 of them having a good punch-up because they were different. Triumph and Norton v Vespa and Lambretta.

Nice try but thin on evidence, just more I don’t like them because they are different. They are not different, they are people.
I fear for my country when obviously bright young kids like you know no better, I can’t blame you it is all you have been taught by the vile government we have had in power for the majority of your young life.

I really don’t give a stuff, I will be lucky to live much longer, But you can make things better, don’t let the easy path of racial vilification overtake you.

Rainier,

Why do you consider RSL patrons to be an "ethnic" group?

"puleeze" what? You assume I have no knowledge of your perspective on the world, and am just another Manufactured Consentor. I am very familiar with your adolescent Chomsky/Pilger conception of the world, as well as with what so many in search of foundational meaning and purpose find so appealing about it. Adolescent crap that fulfils the teen spirit I say!

Ever considered that a tacit premise of such anti-Americanism is that the U.S. is assumed to be the only agent of responsibility (i.e. worhty of criticism) on earth? You've been brainwashed, not me.

I suppose you'de vote Al Jazera No 1

Steve,
I had a better post, but decided to answer your “keyans are only good at long distance cause its their national sport” Statement. Do you actually believe that. I have a distinct feeling, if Kenyans immigrated to Australia, their children to, would have a better chance, then white kids, at being good at long distance running.

“East and North Africans who share an evolutionary history have clocked more than 60% of the best times ever run in distance races. Kenyans win 40% of international events.” “The Nandi district in East Africa's Great Rift Valley, with only 500,000 people -- 1/12,000 of Earth's population -- wins an unfathomable 20%, marking the greatest concentration of raw athletic talent in sports history”. SNIP
"Very many in sports physiology would like to believe that it is training, the environment, what you eat that plays the most important role," "But we argue based on the data that it is in your genes whether or not you are talented or whether you will become talented. The extent of the environment can always be discussed but it's less than 20%, 25%." SNIP
Humans are different, a product of the inseparable relationship of genes and environment. Popular thinking, still reactive to the historical misuse of "race science," lags this new bio-cultural model of human nature. Society pays a large price for not discussing this subject openly, if carefully.

I mean Richard Dawkins believes this. Stephen Hawkins backs him up and refers to him in he’s books when he (briefly) moves away from more complicated subjects to the supposedly obvious subject of evolution.

“I can’t blame you it is all you have been taught by the vile government we have had in power for the majority of your young life.”-steve, I don’t listen to them. I make my own opinions and judgements based on my own observations, and if I listen to any one, its Richard dawkins and Stephen Hawkins.

Either your wrong, or your Smarter then Stephen Hawkins, which one?
