CM,

"Every culture needs their own nation"

What a stupid, stupid notion.

Of course, it depends how you define 'culture':

* at a sort of macro-level - all European or Chinese or Japanese or African culture as wholes, - or

* at the other extreme, the hundred cultures of China, thousands of cultures (and languages) across Africa, the thousands across India, the hundred or so just in Vietnam, etc. - or

* something in-between, which would be more sensible, if still a bit difficult to bring about.

So, you think that, with 200 or so now, there aren't enough separate nations across the world already ? You're advocating many times more ?

So how the dream-land Texas secession bid going, to set up its own white nation ? Any threats from real-world Mexico to take it back ?

So I guess Loudmouth doesn't support the principles outlined in the US Declaration Of Independence- I consider it as somewhat of a compromise myself. Government of the people, by the people, for the people... In a sense monarchy sort of fulfills these aims.

Doesn't mean that nations can't be clustered into "super-sets" and "super-super-sets"- for example Texas succession with preferred nation relationships. In many cases perhaps more autonomy and better control across borders would be enough to satisfy the culture.

I'm quite concerned that people feel vulnerable to arbitrary whims of authority that aren't part of their culture.

CM,

So what do you mean by 'the culture' or 'their culture' ?

I was just looking at something about Brazil - do you realise that there are hundreds of Indigenous 'cultures' across Brazil (it's a bigger country than all of Australia) ? And, of course, the long-term German-Brazilian culture, mainly in the south ? And the Afro-Brasilian culture in the north-east ?

Joe

In the world there are the molestered and the molestees- I prefer less molestering. I don't understand Brazil I wouldn't presume to tell them how they should manage their culture and the interactions with other cultures but I believe in the general principle of self determination for any culture. So in the case of the 100's of cultures in Brazil I would like to see them given the choice.

....European or Chinese or Japanese or African culture as wholes ...
loudmouth2,
CM did say "every culture". Also, since when is Islam a race ?

always at the ready to slander the Aboriginal cause.
