As for Foxy not being hateful-

Perhaps Foxy believe's she is a good person- or maybe she wants to be seen to be good- or maybe she has an "agenda".

But I can't think of many things more hateful than to replace white American's in the nation they founded- or replacing British Australian's in Australia- or replacing British people in Britain.

Even the colonialists generally left the culture their land- you could call what they did hateful- but replacing the people is on another level- beyond hate.

What happened in Lithuania in the late 1800's was disappointing- but what are the daughters of Lithuania doing now? Very sad.

I would like the Lithuanian Polish Commonwealth returned to something of it's former glory- so that the many Lithuanian peoples can return to something called home- something would need to be negotiated with the Prussian's as perhaps they deserve some glory too.

Cultural conflict is the history of the world- it hasn't changed- it's just the cultures have changed- Communism is also a culture- some say they are a nihilistic culture- the current cultural conflict is between the people that believe in 1. one world universalist globalism and those that believe in 2. more local forms of government. The Localist's are the underdog's despite what the Globalist's propagandise.

The solution to cultural and ethnic conflict and disagreement is not- the destruction of culture- or forcing cultures together- but managing the interfaces between them. Sometimes cultures need to retreat back to their own territory. Globalism gives cultures no where to go- this could actually create more conflict. But do the powerful care about this- power is power.

Many will die- who dies will depend on what you do

the Daughters of Lithuania doing now?"

I respect your loyalty to your people Foxy. I hope that you can also respect mine to mine. Even if you can't admit it in the contemporary political climate.

I guess we continue to kick the can down the road even as the problems get more difficult.

We are all subject to the inertia of our political surrounds- our family, our workplace, our children, our community. Globalism, Multiculturalism, family, etc lends a new perspective to the concept of nurture or nature

Canem Malum,

I am an Australian (of Lithuanian ancestry).

Our aim should always be to behave with respect
towards others and to encourage this in all people.

Bad Dog,

Those are disgraceful and hateful remarks about a very good man. When Graeme Hugo was my lecturer and tutor, I was a Maoist but I never noticed any inclination on the part of Prof Hugo to promote those ideologies: he was a straight-forward community development advocate and passionate admirer of Asian cultures and people.

You really don't know what you are talking about, in the slightest.

And no, I'm no longer a Maoist, not even a Maoist pie baker; that went some decades ago. Not a single Marxist/Leninist/Maoist blueprint has ever worked, and I don't think one ever will. Such Utopian schemes collapse very quickly in the face of reality, having to grapple with real issues and problems, and invariably degenerate into their fascist opposites, with the secret police taking charge.
