ttbn,

I agree, cultures are not equal.

There is the problem of multiculturalism in societies with very large minorities, assuming many will not want to fit in.

I think we can go alright, but we shall see in coming decades, especially as economic decline/difficulties test us all.

ttbn & Chris Lewis,

I agree. Cultures are not equal. Mine is best.

ttbn, Chris & david f,

Cultures are equal in that that all are directed towards adaptation and survival of the social group.

What I think you are trying to say is that they are different.

david f,
People will always be ignorant about the future. It was like that 250 years ago just as it is today about 250 years in the future.
Anglo Saxons were ignorant due to religious indoctrination just as Leftists are today with self-loathing indoctrination.
Why didn't the Aborigines act with more foresight ? Why, because they had even less foresight let alone any concept of anything outside their existence just as many of those 'migrants' who were sent here against their will !
There are many Aborigines who travel all over the world also paid for by the Govt of the day.

David,

At the end of the day, I am prepared to say it.

The West is the best, forget the rest. And i refer to the British legacy, despite all its wrongdoing.

Challenge is to keep is that way.

Mr. Opinion,

No. I wasn't "trying to say" anything. I said what I meant: all cultures are not equal.

AC,

There's a lot of truth in what you say. The person who started this thread is an 'ethnic', born here I believe, but an offspring of Eastern European parents. I noticed in a post on whether or not the Liberal should become more conservative, she quite irrelevantly stated that that party should take in more 'ethnics'. I would have thought there were plenty of them in all parties, several of them making absolute fools of themselves (caught out) in both Liberal and Labor recently. Fortunately, most 'ethnics' are not such bigoted (or embittered?) extreme thinkers, and are as Australian as any of us, following their families' move to a better life, away from countries that they considered to be inferior to this one.

And in your next post "Multiculturalism is the reason Victoria is locked down and in a total state of disarray", I agree that Victoria's very heavy multiculturalism could well be part of the problem. Non-English speaking for starters, as well as cultures belligerent to law and order and the values of cooperative interaction within a society.
