Dear Foxy,

You have missed the point of my argument. I was talking about the macro-social; not to worry, time will tell if my predictions are right.

We should be examining societies that are peaceful and a happy community. Those societies that are fractious we should be seeing as not functional.

For instance Turkey is a fractious society, though it enforces one world view, it is determined to destroy its neighbours of the same religion. I have a young friend working just 50 meters from the Turkey border serving in a Kurdish Muslim refugee camp. The Turks are supporters of ISIS and their war agenda is take no prisoners, kill the men, kill the women, kill the children. They are both Muslim but one is determined to slaughter the other, they will never agree. Their principles of society are basically evil.

There is only one relatively successful society, and it is not based in race or political ideology, it began with an empire and is now a commonwealth of nations. it is currently being destroyed by racialism, and socialist ideology.

Dear Josephus,

From what you say above it is easy to see you're definitely no sociologist.

you're definitely no sociologist.
Josephus,
Congratulations !

So there you are. Would you call that tribal?
Foxy,
No, that's not tribal. Tribal is when people from a different Tribe/culture move to another area & don't actually mix in the way your kids did. When the newcomers refuse to integrate it becomes tribal ie. not good for the host country !

Individual,

I was born in this country. As were most of my family
members. And Australia is made up of people from
various ancestries and ethnic backgrounds. Australia
was built on immigration, as was England, Canada,
New Zealand, the US, and so on. Yet some of
you act as if I got off the boat yesterday. What's
your background and ancestry? We're all Australians.
Children of immigrants sooner or later blend in. They
always have here. Be they black, white, brown, Chinese,
whatever. They want to fit in. And usually do.

Today, in the modern world, we have high levels of
education, ever developing technology, tourism,
the cinema, and many other influences, that affect
all of us, and we are all constantly developing and
changing. And if there was no immigration, the same
influences would still exist - change is the only
constant in life. You can't compare previous centuries
with the 21st century no matter what your mentality.
