By Tom Calma, published 22/8/2007

Reinvigorating multiculturalism is not just an option, it is a necessity for a healthy, functioning democracy.

Frank... nothing personal mate :) just colorful as you say. But re 'evidence' Steven did our work for us.. any comment on it ?

Frank... John Howard's approach is akin to the republicans... they talk about 'border security' while their big agribusiness supporters say "Whoah their George.. 'look' tough, but don't stop our pipeline of cheap exploitable labor"..who then promptly vote DEMOCRAT :) who then talk about 'fair and just wages and conditions' etc..... its a blardy mess mate.

Steve
its good to have 'research' and scholarly opinion, but unfortunately, even though you have laid it out for all to see, 'bigotry' as in.."denial of well established fact through dogmatic rejection" is what you will now see unfolding from the MCnazis who simply don't 'like' the findings of such studies which conflict with their pet views. (and/or their political vested interests)

Hence...I take the other approach "Sledge Hammer and Headline"

You see.. the issue has never been about

-Common sense
-Clear evidence
-Self evident truths...

nope....

its been 'our way or the highway' (supported by the yapping puppies of the Racist anti Australian Ethnic Council of Australia)

But thanx anyway for simply proving that there is more than 'noise' at the root of the well justified 'anti' MC position.

DISCLAIMER
My interest is not in promoting a view which supports a particular party, I'm on the record many times of having an independant vision for Australia no matter who is in power, MC is just plain stupid whichever way you look at it.

Regarding the 17th century type race wars you forecast for the future world, Plerdus. Is not the big one on already with Islamic terrorism on one side and Christian unipolar Americana and us on the other side.

Furthermore, with a collossal US nuclear arsenal to back us up, really no need to ask who's going to win?

But wait a tick, we forget that Putin of Russia looks like he's gone Soviet socialist again, and he's even joined Communist China already in war games, possibly practising for the coming event. Looks like Iran could be interested too in making a threesome.

The never you know, this might be the way to stop wars like you were talking about, never starting.

What's called power balancing, or multi-polar marshalling of major powers to prevent war.

Might be a good thing, Plerdus, for right now, all the arming is on one side, which was never a good thing, anyhow, as Immanuel Kant gave voice in that 17th century you mentioned.

Culturally speaking one can not be multi-cultural. So there is no practice of multi-culture. It's people of diverse cultures practicing their own individual culture. Not practicing multi-culture. Multiculturalism = multi-tribal
Tribes compete.
Tribal competition = strife
Multiculturalism = strife
Cultural/tribal strife keeps the masses off balance and no coherent government becomes necessary. Governing party's are elected by a smaller and smaller minority of the voting public. A healthy government elected by 60% of the electorate becomes bad government elected by 30% of the electorate.
Multiculturalism is the best thing to hit politics since the female vote. Sex split the vote in twain. Culture splits the vote a hundred times.
Call it oligarchy but, more like a plutocracy since the wealthy will make any determination. Any rate it ain't democracy. It's democracy like. The social[ist] engineers have decided that democracy was too much of a burden to place on the citizenry. Multiculturalism sounds like more and democracy requires attention. lets all go out for chinese and experience the boon of multiculturalism. Wheeeeee!

Multi culture,multi tribal,multi ghettoism, we had none of that before, we simply had Australia and Australians and it WORKED.
Now we have ethnic riots,ethnic gangs, ethnic terrorists and enough Political Correctness to gag a continent with.
Be done with this stupidity for all time becuse this so called multiculture that has been a curse on all the Western countries on which it has been forced just does not work.

bushbred,

I did not forecast race wars this century, I forecast religious wars.
The two are very different. In the seventeenth century europe was wracked by religious wars, between catholic and protestant, engaged in by people of the same race.

I think you are right, however, that we are at present in the first one between christian America and militant Islam. Many non-religious people in the west, mostly on the left, are still into the rich-poor thing that has nothing to do with the current war, as evidenced by the attempted terrorist attack by affluent doctors in the UK. I really don't know how the secular left is going to handle this, as it contradicts many of their beliefs.

The trouble is that the old left is way behind the current world situation, what with the never-to-be-developed third world, and the end of cheap oil, which means that the standard of living of everyone will have to be substantially reduced.

Stand by for an explosion in religious enthusiasm as this all happens.

The main cause of these wars will be the problem of resource depletion, and the need to have a little war to see who gets the all the remaining resources and who gets nothing.

The tide has been turning for the last few years now. Before that not a word could be said against MC without being branded a racist. I believe now the truth is coming out. As more and more ordinary people begin to speak their minds about what a failure it has been. I still remember seeing Geoffrey Blamey being harrassed for speaking the truth.
It's nothing more than foreign people coming here exploiting Australia and bringing their backward cultures with them.
For years I've seen pro MC turalists hounding people, brainwashing them, and everyone is too scared to speak up against it. For the last few years I've known that this will end soon, and all I hope is that those who have been so aggressive in their views and dismissive of others will be held accountable for the destruction they have caused.
Most of the Pro MC turalists are of foreign extraction who couldn't care less what happens to Australia. One day in the next 40 years we will be deporting them back to where they belong. Fix your own countries up instead of bludging off Australia.
