Abyss-mal?

Why do you consider RSL patrons NOT to be an "ethnic" group?

They do have an ethnicity don’t they?

And if they do wouldn’t you consider this ethnicity to be unaccountable to how we sociologically define all ethic interactions? Why do you argue for this ethnicity to be deemed invisible?

What an odd premise this is!

You scribbled: “You assume I have no knowledge of your perspective on the world”
.
I wouldn’t assume you knew anything actually.

• Apparently I only read Leftist propaganda – LOL!

I’ve read everything from Hitler’s Mien Kampf to Phantom comics. Do you really think you are what you read? How shallow of you -, really, you need to get out more. There’s big wide world of ideas waiting patiently to save you from your own ideological prison. Go on, give it a go. I won’t laugh at you! Promise.

And finally - correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe the Democrats have recently regained some respectability for America’s flailing world reputation.

Me anti-American? No way.

I just loathe fascism anywhere anytime, especially when it purports to be ‘democratic’.

Just to demonstrate to you that I do appreciate your comments here’s a lovely quote from comrade Noam himself -

“If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all”

Peace brother!

Logic,

I wasn’t disagreeing with the concept of there being no difference between human brains at the DNA level what I was disputing, was that this argument of sameness is always used to defend multiculturalism. I was explaining that the brain is hardwired to be tribal therefore it is antimulticultural.
Take tribalism out of the equation by having lots of intermarriage between the ethnic groups(intergration) and you lesson the danger of territorial warfare.

I believe that at the DNA level man is the same species the world over and no race is superior to another. But then I don’t believe wars are about superiority. I believe that mankind is involved in a race for genetic survival and so we go out of our way to ensure the survival of those who have the closest genetic links to us.

I think my post was probably a bit confusing as to what I meant , comes of not being able to think straight when I sit up too late at night , sorry.

you need a good smack Obviously - you are young, it seems, full of piss and vinegar - you will have to wait until tomorrow night but - ...maybe by then you might have grownup a bit - your early humble intro- ooooh I am only young and new here "- belied the under current of hatred and arrogance so typical of your kind"- you'll keep

What a load of crapola! People who disagree with multiculturalism are not evil people, they just hold a different opinion. However, such is the view of the blind set of ignorant fools such as this author. You only have to see read the language to see that this mug would sell out his own family. Shameful, very shameful.

Multiculturalism is a farce because it does not encourage people get along with each other but segregates them. I have been in stores in Cabramatta to witness non-Asians refused service. If that happened the other way, mugs like this author would be up in arms.

Assimilation is not the way either. The key in intergration where people can keep who they are but have to integrate and follow societies written and unwritten laws of the nation they move to.

Being multiculturalism is to accept all of one's culture including honour killings, female circumcision and more. We pick and choose what we want. We take the food, watch the dances and say..."How pretty", yet we say no to everything else. If you want to keep all your own way, stay where you are. You move to any other nation, integrate and become one with the community.

I will try again. WE ARE ALREADY MULTICULTURAL.

"You move to any other nation, integrate and become one with the community."

By this reasoning the First Fleeters and the rest of us should have all adopted the Aboriginal culture!

When the First Fleeters decided to stick to their own culture(s) which of the several new introductions should they have followed?

And should the Aborigines have changed their culture to that of the invaders or stayed with their own? And which invader culture, the Protestants, the Irish Catholics the Jews (or the convicts)?

When the Chinese arrived which of the many existing cultures should they have followed? And which should later immigrant groups follow?

If one culture is to be imposed on all the rest, which one and why?

That the majority of 'cultural groups' have contributed significantly to the social fabric of this nation more than they have damaged it.

But this fact goes relatively untold in this never ending witch-hunt for isolated incidents to paint non-white groups with the same brush.

I sometimes wonder if its cultural envy because there really isn't a cohesive and tangible white Australian culture, just symbols and trinkets and national days. Real Cultures are something much more substantive that this.

It’s embarrassing for me to read such uneducated and uncultured views coming from so called 'true blue Aussies' reminiscing and lamenting a national cultural renaissance that was - and will never be.

Racist sentimentality for a largely imagined white Australian culture is nothing more than a culture of racism dressed up in the charades of nationalist iconography. What’s so hard to understand about this? I see and hear it all the time. Oi oi oi
