HenryL,

Thanks for the link.
Beautiful!

ALTRAV,

I was merely light-heartedly (tongue-in-cheek)
pointing out to Mr Opinion that prejudice is
an irrational, inflexible attitude towards an
entire category of people (the word literally
means "prejudged.")

The key feature of prejudice is that it is always
rooted in generalisations and so ignores the
differences among individuals.

Therefore someone who's prejudiced against Chinese,
Indigenous Australians, Muslims, Aussies, the Brits,
or any other group will tend to have a negative
attitude toward any individual person of that group
in the belief that all of them share the same
supposed traits.

ttbn,

Do you know that diarrhea is hereditary?

It runs in your genes!

Hey ttbn

"Authorities in Berkley City in the US are changing the names of 'man holes' to maintenance holes; 'man power' with human effort and 'fraternal' with social."

Why am I not surprised?

You've got to look to the bigger picture;
Someone's decreed that:

Immigrants: 'Changing the People' is an attempt to / results in 'Changing the Government'
Semantics: 'Changing words and their usage' is an attempt / results in 'Change the way we think'.

Think I'm wrong? Watch this:
The author discusses it explicitly.

I think I'm going to go with individuals comment.

"My answer to that is; Sociologists/social engineers, inadequately intelligent Academics, incompetent bureaucrats in fact, all those people who hang off the aprons of those who create wealth. After they got their slice of the cake they then complain about the hands that feed them."

- With the only difference between individual's opinion and mine is I don't think it's incompetence;
I think it's an agenda and it's all being done by design.

Anyone done the full 2030 sales brochure yet?
If you want to know where we are headed beyond 2030;
- Then start looking at the 2030 agenda plans -

Ask yourself 'What kind of world are they building?'
- That'd be the perfect place to start.

My general thoughts towards the future is that they seem to be moving towards an open border world with free movement of people, but there will be constant monitoring of all citizens at all times.

Dear Armchair Critic,

My picture of the future is a pretty bleak place. A hot world beset by droughts, floods, famines and plagues. Have you seen the movie 'The Road'? You should catch it if you haven't.

try to be nice are you aware?
Do you understand
See many do not even read your posts, smarter things are said by monkeys
However another of the threads questions [answers appreciated] is can we reverse multiculturalism
And should we try
Right now the right is riding a wave of discontent over refugees and migration, even England leaving the EU is based on that
IF we want to how can we stop,even reverse, multiculturalism?
Or is the shortest [achievable path] making it work
I think often both sides would be better served by making it work
What do others think
not you ttbn do not want you getting a head acre

Belly,

Much of what I wrote in my post this morning wasn't opinion but facts based on economic research and historic understanding. Historically we've never run out of any resource. Economically all resources we currently use are becoming more plentiful not less.

Additionally, we could look at food. Despite what the doomsayers have been saying for the last 200 years we aren't running out of food. In fact, the world currently grows more food per capita now than it did at any time in the past. That is, on average each of the 7 billion people alive today have more available calories than the 1 billion people alive in 1900.

These are facts, Belly, not opinion. I know that you want to ignore those facts and people like Foxy want to believe that the opposite is believed by most others, but those who look at the data know differently.

If you, and others, are even slightly interested in the facts, then read the links I provided. Its research based on real world data, not mere dystopian fantasies.

"recurring droughts, maybe the new reality droughts".

Well droughts have been around forever so this is hardly a change. On the other hand, the IPCC in it last report found that there was "low confidence" that there were any "increases in intensity and/or duration of drought" as well as "low confidence" that any changes in drought was caused by man.

Facts again Belly so I'm sure you'll feel free to ignore them. Opinions are much better than facts to some.
