Re: If you don't think multiculturalism is working, look at your street corner

Sorry.....libralist lefty claptrap...
OH YES we, as in white, "average" person is supposed to to become "tolerant" and "multicultural". we are supposed to accept a noise like a scalded cat at crazy times of the morning as the local mosque call forth the "faithful". WE are expected to "respect" our "multicultural" neighbours sensitivity, whilst they ignore ours (the ENFORCED feeding of halal meat to those who dont want it being ONE example). We are "encouraged" to conform to "new standards "of so called decency of dress, if it affects our "sensitive " neighbours...whilst THEY continue to wear the disguise and concealment of the bukah and so on. WE are not allowed to protest about their "festivities" whilst THEY are allowed to disrupt christmas unchallenged (not that I personally give a flying f**k but lets have some reciprocity here).
try finding a pork butcher in these "multicultural" areas....or even a pork sausage.....
The whole concept of "multiculturalism is a myth...it works ONE WAY only. WE are supposed to "integrate" THEY dont want to/wont
THEY expect "special consideration" which only flows one way...the idea of ANY "concession " to multiculturalism results ONLY in a diminishing of OUR "usual way" of doing things
and STILL no-one has shown ANY benefit to be gained from "multiculturalism" any at all that could not be/would not have been aquired in some other way.
This has NOTHING to do with "bogey man" (oh a new invented icon for the liberalist lefty) mentality....why should I see them as "bogey men" BUT neither should I have to make THE SLIGHTEST concession to any ones "sensitivity" beyond what is normal and decent in MY society.....Halal meat should be CLEARLY labeled as such so I can have MY choice...not someone elses... If I want to eat of the pig then I damn well should be able to...without "comment" from those "others" and without having to travel undue distance to get my breakfast bacon.....and so on......
The bogey man (if there is one) is the liberalist lefty and his/her "multiculturalism" I dont want it...its simple...you live here ...you either isolate yourself and live in "enclaves" (which is by and by almost the prevailing situation) or you accept MY cultural norms and suck it up....You dont have to live BY my cultural norms, but you can damn well live WITH them...or find somewhere else more congenial to your "belief"

Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
Actually has to be the worst post I have ever read based upon association fallacies and prejudice.
If Multiculturalism does not work then clearly those who perceive this do not understand America. It had the biggest influx of immigrants you will ever see anywhere especially in the 19th and 20th century and whilst is was difficult at first as many were treated exactly as Victor holds such poor prejudice views of people, these were overcome with a unity and a belonging together. One where people could identify with being American but also very proud of their ethnic roots.
So what has really Victor shown here but scorn and hate towards people collectively and who is these people he is speaking of?
Muslims.
He claims we are being forced fed meat that is no different from being killed like others, except both methods cut the throat except we electrocute the animal as if in anyway this is more humane, when there is nothing to suggest either. Of course not only that halal meat is supplied to many outlets including many football stadiums and this is well stated it is, yet countless footie fans and many other people daily eat this meat without any thought or conviction. The reality is sad claims of whether electrocution is a better method or humane, is just a smoke screen to attack a group, when Muslims have been living in the west and in this nation for the last 300 years, so why is it now a problem?
Because of terrorism, terrorism by mindless idiots, has allowed other mindless idiots to poor scorn onto all Muslims, as they are an easy target to hit. Because to Victor it is some big travesty someone of which is a less than a thousand Muslim women decide to cover themselves fully clothed as if this is some outrage, but would no doubt have no issue seeing a woman fatter and heavier than 30 stone walk down the street in a mini skirt with two small a T-shit which exposes here stomach, that is okay, but a woman dressed conservatively is a means to poor on more scorn as if now all Muslims dress this way. So who has the problem here, well Victor does, because what harm are they doing to him dressed this way?
None, it may not be good for communication because we use body language, but you do not help a woman understand this by vilifying them.
So who is the issue when it comes to integration, well many come here and do stick to their customs and beliefs and yet the reality is many of their children are different growing up and getting along with children their own age, in fact in this country are youth show us in the main why prejudice is a fear based on ignorance, they are blessed with being able to grow up together with minorities in this country and do not in the main stereotype them. So whilst we do have some that come here and do not integrate, we also have those who live here that have no wish to integrate, just as was the case when we had the first influx in the 1950's, the same kind of people came out with all the same cultural pessimism crap you have read in Victors post. Similar crap was argued back then, how they could not fit into society, their cultures were alien, the same crap going back time and time again can be found. With Jews in Europe and especially German, how their culture was incompatible with the west, how they committed crimes, how they raped young women, how there was too many Synagogues, how they were affecting society, they were the evil behind communism. Hell go back further to late 19th century America, and Irish and Italians were treated on the same levels as blacks, cast as criminals, their cultures did not fit in with society. Every time this same bullshit has been promoted, each time, people have proven them wrong and if anything America is testimony how many people can actually move past prejudice, it still has some way to go for some people, but it has untied countless people from ethnic groups.
So to say his post was the best, it was the worst, one born of fear prejudice and hate, of which there is nothing special about that

Not in my book it wouldn't, sorry Victor, it shows all the worst insular traits of the British. It's ok for us to come and take over your countries and impose our way of life, as we did, but you had better become 'little englanders' if you come here.

We went because our Government decided to do so and we did invade Iraq alongside the Americans, maybe you need to ask how Iraqi's felt about the whole invasion and occupation.
I wonder how you would feel if it escalated to so severe in Northern Ireland in the future and we could not fund an armed force to adequately protect us that Saudi Arabia came with warplanes based in Britain to take out terrorist targets in Northern Ireland causing civilian casualties, I truly wonder how you would feel about a foreign armed force being in our nation doing that?

Again it is not the first or last time people will be like this, again integration does worl both ways, meaning those that come here should integrate and those who are born here should integrate, though all people seem to do is speak of the exceptions only from minorities that do not integrate, they though never look at themselves as to not integrating, when there is nothing stopping them from doing so. The question you have to ask is why, and we are back to square one, prejudice fueled by fear

Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
My son works with a guy who had his Christmas decorations up and had put some on the outside of the house also, the neighbour across the road knocked on his door and asked him to take them down as it was offensive to his faith (islam) of the course the reply was (eff off) its Christmas i don't complain when you celebrate Ramadan . Just an example of their way only .

Seems odd to me as I know many Muslims they join in with the festivities at Christmas, in fact it is always PC zealots that come up with crack pot ideas about doing something in case it may offend, and normally has little to do with the view of Muslims themselves, yet they always get blamed for it

Well it is a reality that it did happen, and they are Christians most of them and today still in Northern Ireland there is this problem.
The point is the Irish were vilified back then as the Muslims are today, based again off association fallacies

meaning exactly WHAT Didge?? where does "integration" turn into surrender?
Why should I change one jot of what I consider "my way of life" even down to simply accepting something different as right. Where do things become acceptable/unacceptable...
where do we stand with things...
for example.....
I spend a lot of time driving, and have been more than once "first on scene" at a RTA....now thats no problem as such...the routine of "call for help" secure the area, secure the vehicles against fire (i.e cut the battery lead if you can...) turn off etc.THEN attend to casualties (ignore the screamers, noise is inversely proportional to injury severity) is familiar to anyone thats "been there done that" NOW heres the problem...first aid....One incident i got tangled up in a young woman had been skewered by a bit of metal which had penetrated her RH chest, resulting in pneumothorax...the metal had withdrawn with it and her movement, To prevent further damage of course the immediate need is to bung up that hole...and i have some nice big sticky plasters that just fit the bill ni my first aid kit....so cut her blouse off on that side and slap on said plaster, keep her sat still leaning towards the injured side....next casualty.....and so on.....would I have done that if that woman had been a muslim woman.....I dont know...I simply dont know...BECAUSE of their potential reaction to such "interference" I would have grave doubts. THE FIRST thing you are taught as a first aider is ..secure the scene...dont become another casualty....potentially giving the same aid to a muslim woman could endanger both myself AND the casualty...now....what to do in THAT kind of situation...and its not all that an "extreme" example...its something any of you that are first aiders could end up facing....so do i integrate...and withdraw ALL help other than calling for emergency services, take the risk of a possibly violent reaction, or what...
where does integration stop and interference by a "new" culuture on its host culture begin??

Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
well if English culture wasn't shite in the first place
Evolve (like other cultures had to when the Europeans arrived) or Die
they are your choices, staying the the same is not one
To me it seem English culture is too weak/not desirable enough. Converting the immigrants is easy when you got some thing as great to convert to as Aussification. Like many migrants say to those born here. "You are very lucky because you were born in here, and I am smart because I choose to come here.."

Like many migrants say to those born here. "You are very lucky because you were born in here, and I am smart because I choose to come here.."

Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
Now, now Veya lol. There are lots of good things about english culture, honestly. But all cultures change, all the time. Why should we think it has to stay the same. Just think of ANY country 100 years ago and now, none of it is recognisable. We, ie the British, have probably done more to change other peoples countries than anyone. Why do we think we should be exempt and sacrosanct ?

Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
however...no-one can tackle the above conundrum, which comes down to a simple question....Do I risk (and it is a statistically significant risk) the consequences of applying first aid to the wife/daughter of a conservative muslim...or do I "culturally evolve" and refuse first aid to all? merely calling for help, however long that help may take to arrive....
I can ONLY do one or the other, any other choice leaves me labeled as "racist"

Let me just ask -- are we talking about anything resembling a common situation in your country?
Re: If we had post of the week we would have a winner here..
what do you call common ? there is a statistically significant risk. Which I reasonably presume to equate to the number of those muslims who could at best be described as "conservative" (not necessarily fundamentalist, which STILL presents a significant numerical risk and is more severe to boot) Even if the risk was only 0.1% (and I dont think its that low) with MY luck I'd find a casualty in that 0.1%
Its like YOUR mess of a country Ben...where I understand no-one but medics will give first aid (because of your insane "compensation, sue and be damned culture")

Not really like that here, you get someone on the news who does that very rarely but in most cases, when a person saves another's life, they're just grateful and the hero is treated as such.

Biggest load of babble I have every heard, the same risk can be found with trying to help British born people and a person who clearly has not met many Muslims themselves, who is a self confessed recluse who then only goes off the back of what he reads and sees in the media. So again your objection stems from extreme examples not a reality in any shape or form. I mean how many people see an incident and do nothing and have done nothing for centuries, thus your argument is utterly flawed not based on any reality but a flawed situation.
You go by every typical stereotype there is on Muslims and the sad fact and reality is you have not real met many by your answers. To now argue over those who seek legal claims, is again something that foreign cultures did not bring about, but you are wrong and I suggest you watch the video of the murder of Lee Rigby, as people went to help a dying man with no fear or consequence of themselves, people go into burning buildings who are not fireman to save people, people daily give first aid, and the reality is many ambulance staff are only first aid trained. You are going off the view people will not help, many people never have because they lack the confidence to do so, that is nothing to do with Multiculturalism

It actually does matter how many. Do you treat every Christian like an asshole because Christian assholes exist?
Why did you bring Christianity into this , Christianity isn't a race

You should put that theory to the government because you have a very valid point .
You could be sued by helping a muslim women you know what they are like about their dignity , or maybe ask the question to a muslim and see what their answer is .

Victor - no, you can't live your life the way you want.
That's the answer - that's what multiculturalism has brought.

Wow.
I know this is brought down to the most simplistic of things, but my life is simple.
I love my coffee mornings with my three Bulgarian friends. They are warm, affectionate, funny and somehow a lot less "gossipy" than some of my well-Loved English ladies.
I met a white Muslim woman at college and I absolutely adored her.
I never saw her treated differently or ask to be treated differently.
People are just people.
Isn't it as simple as that?

edds i agree people are just people , we have a Bulgarian family at the church we go to occasionally and they are wonderful people , i understand that but the things victor has said in this post are true and i know if we were all treated fairly things would be better but we are not there really are in my eyes rules for one and not the other and i really feel that religion such as islam is given priority and because muslims protest they are treated better . In the ideal world we should all be treated fairly but i feel our government really could not give a toss about English/ British citizens and put all their focus on immigrants to make them happy .
