If we speak but don't act, we are PART of the problem, rather than part of the solution :)

Isnt this what this site is about no action and just talk.
most here wouldnt be able to find there way out of a wet paper bag due to all argueing about who should do it and how others have done it but no solution.

I have the solution are you ready yet.
I can and will not i send it out and see what the backlass is.
Government is about doing not rolling over and become as pathetic as some are on this forum.
talk here is really cheap when you have what it takes to stand then you should post but if you just winge and whine like our pollies do as some would be here then p#ss off and let the people get on with the real job of fixing your mess.

'evening to all, and to...BOAZ and Leigh -

I couldn't agree with you more. I don't believe multi-culturalism is working in this country, nor do I believe it will ever work.

As I've mentioned and quoted here before, ad nauseam. In the sixties, the British Tory member for Wolverhampton, Mr Enoch POWELL warned the English Parliament that if they continued their current policy of unabated and unchecked immigration,..."the streets of Britain will run red with blood"...!

There's certainly much empirical evidence to support this statement, sadly. It appears however, that our various governments (of both persuasions), have not heeded, nor learnt the sorry lessons from those experienced in the UK.

At the risk of having my head torn off by the learned left, I'm afraid the evidence speaks for itself. For those who vainly try to adhere to the principles of political correctness, I suspect, on this issue at least, the cause is well and truely lost.

Further, any political party of the future, who attempts to substantially broaden immigration, will pay dearly at the polls.

And should any party seek to introduce legislation of a type, calculated to further regulate, and coerce the population, to accept greater immigration, they'll be destined to spend a few years on opposition benches too.

O Sung Wu,you seem to be of Asian origin.In the light of your origins,how do perceive multi-culturalism to be both a negative for you personally and your broader community?

“And should any party seek to introduce legislation of a type, calculated to further regulate, and coerce the population, to accept greater immigration, they'll be destined to spend a few years on opposition benches too.

They don’t have to introduce legislation, osungwu. They just go ahead and do it without a by-your-leave to voters. Both major parties are big immigrationists , and it is now more evident than ever that it doesn’t really matter – apart from a bit of tweaking between them on trivial matters – which party is in government and which is in opposition.

We must, I think, be careful to differentiate between unnecessary immigration if it is harmful as it is now: non-discriminatory immigration; multiculturalism (the real mistake) and multiracialism

Amen Oh sung... and Tappy...

Periclessssss... aah.. so much work 2b done. The ancient Israeli economy was very capitalist. Those who had the money, had the land, and could expand and increase. There were those who worked for the 'owners of capital'. The point I was seeking to make, is that a capitalist economy with a socialist soul is probably the best approach to managing nations. Now that wasn't hard was it ?

Your point about love the alien.. aah.. it is a good one, but have a REALLY close look at the overall context of the Alien. If he was trying to change the religion to paganism he would have got the short shift in no time. Agreed ?
If he tried to marry an Israelite without embracing Yahweh as God, again.. 'out'.

YES.. we must love the alien, but we don't have to put up with his actions which might compromise our own cultural and social situation.
I'm sure the Israelites made it crystal clear to any alien among them that "these are the rules, comply and ur always welcome".
My rants are directed at 2 main issues.

1/ Government Policy
2/ Extremists.

and the underlying assumption (proven I believe) that "radicals drive agenda's"

Can we try to avoid the overused criticism "You hate all Muslims" for the duration of this thread ?

I think that the word "multicultural" is very generalised and can be given all sorts of meanings, depending on whatever agenda you are trying to promote and your degree of personal paranoia.

To me it is simply an expression of social tolerance, nothing more, nothing less.

To see it as some sort of evil agenda meant to destroy a society is fanciful. If any society is so fragile so as to be threatened by a few token gestures, perhaps it's doomed anyway.

As for Lebanese gangs, surely this is more an incarnation of current American "gansta" culture or typical tribalism at work - not part of a world-wide conspiracy to destroy civilisation as we know it.
