This link, from this country, 2011 takes INTESTINAL FORTITUDE TO READ.
It takes true blindness to ignore.
It SHOUTS wake up.
Forget the Multi Cultures.
See the only one, openly calling for?
SEPARATISM IN MY COUNTRY.

Lexi,
I have never advocated that the education program should be stopped, but it should be reinforced by strong law enforcement with harsh penalties. By any standard it is serious child abuse.

It is interesting to note that ALL immigrants are informed about our society when applying for a visa, in 30 different languages. This includes that FGM is against the law. But what happens is that they are told by their relos here that they can continue FGM because no one worrys about it being against the law. That must change. Hopefully the upcoming prosecutions will be a start.

Also I have never advocated that post FGM services be curtailed. FGM victims need good medical services.

Dear Banjo,

I think the message from the medical professionals
who deal with FGM is clear. Harsher law penalties
are not going to work however education and culturally
appropriate methods may eventually change things.
But it won't happen overnight. "You have to work with
them, listen to them. You have to know where they are
coming from in order to help them."
"Ordering people against the practice won't work. If we
try to dictate and pontificate about this and not
provide culturally appropriate care we shall further
disenfranchise these women." Reaching them and
untangling these outdated cultural traditions and
religious misconceptions is the way to go."

So we need to spend money on "education" about unacceptable cultural practices (in 30 different languages).

Wouldn't it be easier to just limit immigration to societies that don't have these cultural practices?
Oh no, we must let everyone in, *then* try to change them.

We wouldn't even need to do this if we hadn't "dismantled" the old policy of Europeans-only.
Ever heard of these problems with Swedes? Irish? Spanish? Russians?

They also, Belly, are increasingly non-religious populations.
No so the "coloured" world. Filled with superstitions, freaky beliefs, disgusting customs.
But they're so "enriching"!

Dear Belly,

I will admit to giving a brief moments thought to how on earth you managed to take from what I had written and come out with “Csteele you have thrown that rock, faceless poster att me once too often.”

But I've been giving you some thought my dear fellow and I think I may have worked you out.

You work incredibly hard to prolong threads you have started and one of your methods is to twist other's posts to keep the banter going. I think at least half, if not most of it, is for show. You fancy yourself as a puppet master – no wait, that is probably overstating things, it is probably more instinctual but it drives you none the less.

I recall an exchange you had on the Islamic Riot thread and have gone back to it.

Forrest Gumpp in a post written to Poirot; “Oh, and BTW, only seven more posts after this one will see this topic become the all-time most-posted-to topic in the General Discussion area of the Forum. Can we do it? Yes we can!”

You wrote a reply;
“Unfortunately any Friday, prayer day, could see the thread charge past that.
Some are in to 3.000 posts, very crude mostly, no way to sell a thought.
I find our efforts not worth concern compared to what I saw elsware.”

While a little dismissive nothing of note there but you followed it later with;

“I also have never before seen so much uninformed and one sided debate , my threads may not bring big numbers but I intend to try to get a bit away from politics for a while.”

I remember thinking it a little odd as I had looked at the numbers after FG's post and seen you had more than a few threads in the top ten of News and Current Affairs, in fact you now have half of them.

I now assume the success of rehctub's thread was eating you up and thus the derogatory remarks.

You see I think ultimately you are an 'attention whore' and a jealous one at that. What we think of as 'senior moments' from you are actually quite calculated and once one gets ones head around that a lot of things fall into place. For instance when you wrote here of an author “No right wing Fascist wrote this” but your link clearly showed that was exactly what he was, you did so explicitly to get a response.

And you also pick the push button topics. Sex scandals, refugees, climate change, Muslim immigration, religion and animal rights. You have a fine eye for what works.

Now I'm not condemning you since this really is a discussion forum and you have provoked a lot of it, and if it is how you get your jollies then who are we to complain. Of course I am happy to still play but perhaps with a little less enthusiasm as before and I will be taking your episodes of high dudgeon with more than a little grain of salt.

But hats off to you mate. You have hooked me more than once.
